Great tour of the old town - We were very pleased with the tour of the old town. Informative, eventful, interesting tour! Nazif is a wonderful guide with a huge amount of knowledge and a sense of humor, he explained everything in detail, showed us, and even took pictures of us. We walked through the streets of the old city, saw the filming location of the famous Soviet film “The Diamond Arm”, got acquainted with the history of the city and learned the history of all the monuments and much, much more! We recommend that everyone who comes to Baku take this excursion. Many thanks to the travel agency and Nazif!

Good introduction to the Old City - Good overall introduction to the Old City. I was looking for something that would fit into a 2-hour slot that I had in my itinerary and this filled the void with interesting sites and commentary.
