Mirhashim is an outstanding tour guide

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Mirhashim served as an outstanding guide to the Gobistan petroglyphs, volcanic mud pots, historic sites in old city Baku, the Heydar Aliev Museum and Azerbaijani carpet museum. He has a command of the English language that revealed the history and culture of the national parks, museums and historic sites we visited. He brought to life the rich history and culture of Azerbaijan. In addition, he was able to answer a wide array of questions about contemporary Azerbaijan. Just as important, if he didn't know the answer to a question, he said so. I recommend him without hesitation and would hire him on any future visit to Azerbaijan.
