Fantastic tour of Baku with Abdullah - Enjoyed a fantastic walking tour with the friendly and welcoming Abdullah around the old town of Buka. We were impressed with Abdullah's historical knowledge of the country, the influences of other countries and cultures on it and how it relates to the modern day Azerbaijan. The tour included many fascinating stories both old and new and there were opportunities to see first hand how the past has shaped the country and its prospects for the future. I would recommend any visitors to Baku to take this tour !

An excellent introduction to some of Baku’s principal sights and the country’s history - Abdullah is both knowledgeable and personable. He gave a very clear presentation of Baku’s history and brought me to scenic spots in the Old City and beyond. We had a long, engaging and wide-ranging conversation that touched on many aspects of life in Baku. I would highly recommend this tour.

Friendliest and coolest tour guide in Baku - It was an incredible 3 hour session with Abdullah where the discussion went beyond just an ordinary tour guide experience. We discussed world history, politics, culture, food, music, art etc all against the backdrop of the beautiful old town in Ichreseher. Came looking for a guide and made a friend. For strictly review purposes, Abdullah is extremely knowledgeable about the history of this place and puts a lot of effort in ensuring the information provided is multi faceted. My personal recommendation for all future expeditions in the city of Baku.

The insiders guide to Baku and Azerbaijan - Abdullah was a font of knowledge and so enthusiastic. I now feel I have a reasonable grip on azerbaijani history and culture. I even asked him a few curly questions about the political situation…his silence was golden🤣🇦🇿 So pleased I went on the tour…
