4.00The trip covered good essentials to familiarise about Baku. Ali is a great orator and story teller. Gave ample time to explore spots and well covered the different parts of the town. Perfect for day one! Only thing is they got confused with guest names and did not coordinate the pick up properly but later arranged a taxi to pick up which led to a little delayed start but all good otherwise

5.00City tour with Tarlan was such a amazing experience. We were small group of 3 people plus our guide. Basic tour was enriched with related information to nationalities of tour's participants what was very nice from Tarlan. Tour was a very pleasant walk around the city, without pressure of time. I really appreciate that we wasn't pushed for shopping in downtown, we just visited one souvenir shop with products from independent artists, what in my opinion was amazing choice to take us! Tarlan is such a nice guide with big knowledge of Baku. I can surely recommend it!
Good times
