5.00Raphael spent two tours visiting the old town of Baku, the Maiden Tower, well it was very interesting. Raphael tells a beautiful story, interestingly, humorously, just wow, even my teenage son was thrilled with him. On the second day with Raphael, they went to Gobustan and Absheron, the first oil well and temple of fire, the ever-flaming fire 🔥. It was interesting, fun and nice listening to our guide. He's super👍👍👍
