A truly unforgettable Baku experience with Azay – more than just a tour guide, a storyteller and a friend.
If you're planning to explore the heart of Baku, Icherisheher (Old City), look no further than Azay. From the moment the tour began, it was clear that Azay is not your average guide. He is incredibly passionate, deeply knowledgeable, and full of energy — someone who truly loves his city and takes immense pride in sharing it with others.
What makes Azay stand out is not just his understanding of Baku’s history, but the way he shares it — through stories, legends, humor, and genuine connection. He makes history come alive. With every narrow alleyway, ancient wall, or hidden courtyard, he has a fascinating tale to tell, often with a personal touch that makes it feel intimate and meaningful. His storytelling ability is incredible — it felt like we were traveling back in time.
He’s also extremely warm, kind-hearted, and patient. He makes everyone feel welcome, regardless of where you're from or what you know about Azerbaijan. You can feel his sincerity, his respect for his guests, and his eagerness to make your visit special. He took the time to answer every question, shared cultural nuances, even helped us learn a few Azerbaijani phrases along the way — and always with a smile.
Azay has a way of making you feel like you're discovering Baku not as a tourist, but as a curious friend being shown the secret beauty of a beloved hometown. From the iconic Maiden Tower to centuries-old caravanserais, quiet stone paths, and vibrant local spots, the tour was rich, immersive, and soulful.
He also went out of his way to tailor the experience, making sure it suited our interests, pace, and energy. That personal touch made all the difference.
By the end of the tour, I felt a deep appreciation not only for the incredible city of Baku, but also for the kind and passionate person guiding us. Azay doesn’t just lead tours — he creates memories.
Thank you, Azay, for one of the most enriching experiences of my travels. I will always remember your stories, your warmth, and your beautiful spirit. I highly recommend everyone visiting Baku to join this journey with him — it’s something truly special.
