Hidden gem of a tour - Must do! - This tour was an amazing blend of food, wine, history and culture.
Our tour guide Gani (who is a very accomplished and extremely knowledgeable gentleman by the way) selected food appropriate for our group and it was such a well curated spread of Azherbaijani food - items we would never have known or tried on our own. We totally loved the food stop. The wine stop was at a quaint wine outlet the vibe was amazing, the wines were very nice but best was the way Gani explained to us the food and wine interspersed with relevant history, culture, traditions.
Then we had more food and dessert, tea and others. He took his time with us and we felt extremely satisfied at the end of the tour. Loved this tour, Try not to miss this tour, you will not regret!

Tour that introduces a hospitable and delicious Azerbaijan - Gani is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide, with excellent English. He took us on a tour that presents a full coverage of Baku's eating choices, from restaurants to fancy eateries and street food places. Everything was new and unusual but very tasty. This tour offered us an opportunity to not only taste food but also to talk to the people who cook and serve this food. The tour gave us a feeling of Azerbaijani hospitality and its openness to the world.

Yummy food tour in Baku - If you are in a short trip to Baku, this is an excellent arrangement to try main traditional food but also taste wine and street food. Although street food is mainly influenced from Turkey, it still sets scene in Baku about street food culture. The also covered from tredy streets to the backstreet. You pretty much see different neighbourhoods, too.

All in one best food and wine tour in Baku - The tour guide Gani met us in Fountains Square, and he then walked us to a traditional restaurant where we sampled plov, qutab, and salads. Following that, we had a brief walking tour of a popular Nizami street. After that, we made a stop at a gorgeous bohemian wine bar in a backstreet, where we learned about the country's winemaking history and sampled some red and white wines. Then Gani led us to the area around the main train station, where there are some delectable street food vendors. We sampled some street food with Turkish influences (tantuni and fish and bread). We afterwards strolled to a sweet/pastry shop in the same neighborhood to sample the paklava and sip Azerbaijani tea.
Overall, the tour was enjoyable and informative about Azerbaija cuisine and meals we share were large enough to feel completely full at the end of the tour. It was a great introducation to Azerbaijan Cuisin and I recommend .

Great Way To Educate Yourself On Local Customs + Indulge In The Local Cuisine ! - - This tour for me was more about culture and a deep insight into the way local Azerbaijanis live and eat.
- Hamza was an excellent guide & we had great conversations about local customs & the war they won in Nagorno-Karabakh.
- The meals we had were all good , i just wish we had more stops and tastings instead of long sit down meals.

Does not cater to solo travelers - TripAdvisor is requesting I review this tour because I booked through the site. I was really looking forward to it. Instead, on the day of the tour, I got an auto email saying it was canceled because there were not enough people (it would just be me). I would've appreciated advance notice so that I could've planned accordingly and picked another tour. Also, for a price tag of $120, I would've expected at least SOMETHING to be pulled together (I did get a refund). Definitely disappointed and not sure why they even let me book as a solo person if they wouldn't take just me. Wish I had received advanced notice.
