Recommendation - The tour guide was knowledgeable about the history of Baku and provided some insight into the city and culture of Azerbaijan. I would recommend Terlan as your guide if possible, I am sure the other guides are knowledgeable too. The cooking class was fun with a lot of information about each dish, I really enjoyed it.

10 out of 10 experience - I absolutely loved my experience, the old city walking tour is very informative and I was able to see a lot of new things. I was able to taste test some local delicacies before the cooking class in the cooking class. I was able to cook authentic dishes and also see how they’re made. My favourite part was being able to put the bread in the traditional oven similar to a tandoori oven. My guide was lovely and I would definitely do this again in Baku.

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
