Nice guide. Can find a common language with children. This is not always the case. We were satisfied with the tour - Architecture and atmosphere of Baku. And friendly residents. The old town has an interesting history. We liked the story about the first philanthropist from Baku.

Pure Bliss - Nurana was a breather! Unlike other guides she was patient, a good listener and provided the locations we wanted to visit. The tour wasn't about what she wants or how she wants it ..it was all about you as a tourist : What are your likes and dislikes? what locations you love to see? etc. Simple examples: 1) we didn't want to visit the burning mountains , so she took us to the pink lake..2)we wanted to visit any church, she asked us from which subcategory your belong to ? we told her we are catholics , so she made sure she took us to the only catholic church in Baku and even made sure the priest was available and gave us a blessing 3) we wanted to drink , dance and eat in a safe place , she recommended Shakespeare and it was awesome!.... She took such good care of us and was available at all hours ! She was such a blessing to us.. Baku was the best experience ever and the beauty of it was just breath taking... All THANKS to Nurana for being such a guardian angel..I pray you be an international tour guide so can take us everywhere in the world..You bring MAGIC TO HISTORY! :) Continue being so passionate, hyper active, warm and loving...
