5.00A very enjoyable day out! This tour takes in the main attractions around Baku. Our guide, Saed, was fun and friendly and very considerate, always preparing us in advance for the next thing, what to do and not to do, pointing out the toilets and refreshments…. If you are only here a few days, this is the perfect way to cover a lot of ground quickly! Highly recommended!
