Dear travelers, I welcome you to my hometown of Baku, where I was born and raised. My name is Emin. I love Baku: its windy climate, its magnificent architecture, its mystical history, and its welcoming people. I live in the city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. I can organize tours and accommodation in Azerbaijan. I can create private and group tours as business or travel to other regions of Azerbaijan such as Sheki, Qabala, Shamaxi, Quba, Lankaran and others. If you want more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Emin was a great tour guide with great information about Baku and the history of Azerbaijan. Emin also recommended us a really good restaurant for traditional Azerbaijani food.

The tour delves deep into the Baku downtown and shows the most important buildings with their history. The guide was really expert and shared a lot of key information with us. I was expecting the tour to be somewhat boring and short, but on the contrary, I had a lot of fun and learned Baku's history. I recommend everyone to take this tour.
