It's one of a kind, whenever it's a new country would recommend guruwalk for anyone who like to explore and would like to know the history and fact of the place.

A very friendly tour guide, but I had a hard time understanding his English. The tour tells you all you want to know about the Azerbaijani more recent culture, like poetry, music and writers.
