This team is I would say the best in azerbaijan, Elnara is the best tour guide you need in baku, ❤ Very knowledgeable and caring for the visitors , She does her job as passion and it makes the visit for tourist worthy..
Baku City was a wonderful step for me, it just became part of home with Elnara as experienced and professional tour guide, from the old Baku mosques like Pi Pi Hibbato and Friday prayer mosque, the tower of Baku and the Hamam. Modern history couldn't hide the beauty of sunset every day and the kindness of Azerbaijan people. Still night life experience was the best. I for sure recommend visiting Baku with Elnara as a tour guide and maybe next time I will go to Sina for a hike and enjoy the natural water falls.
An Excellent private tour. Our guide Ms Elnara Alieva was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic 5 days tour to Azerbaijan, espl city tour to baku and galaba city.. We learnt about history, art, culture, music, food and much more. She gave us lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer all our questions.
