The attractions on this tour are by no means world class, but had potential to be interesting. However the guide we had was awful. Barking orders, telling us to hurry up all the time then boring the life out of you with his monotone drawl. By the end I felt like a naughty school child who'd upset the teacher, rather than a paying grown adult. Shame.
Tour was very well arranged. Guide was nice and provided good information. Locations are not far. Had a nice surprise when old 4wheel cars took us to the mud volcano.
Emir was beyond informative and very helpful... Overall an amazing experience for us especially as a first timer in Baku. A must tour
