Our tour guide, Shahriyar, was kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely curious. We ended up exchanging cultural perspectives and learning from each other - a rare bonus since most tours can feel a bit dry. This one had some spice. I also appreciated how thoughtfully he captured photos of us and the beautiful, fascinating sites around Azerbaijan.
Beautiful day in the area of Baku

Fun day with guide Aga, who can tell well. Surprised at the prehistoric drawings by the large amount on display. Driving a Lada through the landscape was also an experience in itself. Finally, we could quietly wait for the dark for the most beautiful pictures of Yanardag. Top day day!
