I Love Azerbaijan - Shag dag tour agents staffs all of them are super friendly . Driver and tour guide even operator Mr Ali he is deeply serve to his clients as friends . Azerbaijan is not the most attractive place in the world for tour . I am solo traveller around the world . Azerbaijan is the 153th country on my list . However , Baku is great city , beautiful Baku boulevard, Gabala and goba are the good place to enjoy with serve of Shag dag agent .
