Excellent Food Experience - This was such a great experience for me and my husband. I would recommend anyone visiting Baku to get a chance to experience how the delicious local food is made from start to finish. Our teacher was so great and patient despite the language barrier and had such a vested interest in making sure that we get it right. We enjoyed it so much and wow when we having ate the meals and they tasted delicious, we were so proud. Our tour guide Leman was so so so amazing, she gave us plenty tips also on navigating the city and we can’t wait to host her one day in South Africa for Safari 🙂 this was truly special thanks to her

Fascinating facts about the Old Town, Baku and all Azerbaijan - Terlan received us on time at the Old Town Gate and accompanied us on a two-hour stroll through the history of Baku city centre. He entertained us with many anecdotes and information about buildings and important personalities. He also took his time and responded to individual questions and wishes and finally had a good tip where we would find a delicious lunch. All in all a successful tour. Thank you so much!
