A very well informed young English speaking tour guide, Yousif who is also an ambassador for his country when he travelled to Germany as an exchange student. A must recommend for people who want to learn about the vibrant history and culture of this awesome country while strolling through the quaint and beautiful streets of the inner city.

Highly Recommend AZP travels for your visit to Baku and interior tours of Azerbaijan. The Guides, Mr. Sameer and Mr Nazif were will informed and helped us in understanding about the historical and current significance of Azerbaijan and its cultural roots. We had their service for our 7 day trip to Azerbaijan which covered Sheki, Gabele, Gobustan, Xinaliq, apart from Baku.

The tour of the old town, one of the most fascinating and informative. For a tourist from the CIS to see the places where the film Diamond Hand was shot, and also our Guide Nazif is a find. He told us some interesting facts about the old town.
Excellent!
