Description

Hi, my name is Ramil, and I have been working as a licensed tour guide since 2017. We are delighted that every day, we welcome many guests from diverse countries, nationalities, religions, and continents, and we feel honored to introduce our beautiful Baku to you.

Our tour’s main highlights focus on showcasing the cultural, local, and traditional aspects to make your trip memorable and provide you with the opportunity to learn about new cultural activities and explore them in more detail.

Basically, we will get detailed information about the Polish legacy and the Polish architects who came to Azerbaijan and did fascinating things to improve the cultural architectural heritage in Baku. We will talk about the Polish community, when and why they came here, and what they did for Azerbaijan, and we will discover forgotten Mini Poland traces in Baku. It's a pleasure for me, as I am one of the last ones who is doing Polish legacy in Baku and the results of the oil boom, so see you in Baku.

As Azerbaijan is part of Europe, please take attention to the tip payment terms to European standards.

Such an interesting and sad side of Baku's history

Ramil made the special time out to come provide me with a very in-depth tour. I was so touched by the stories he shared and the buildings attached to those real life stories. I especially loved the part about the old city residents holding their hands together, standing around the Ismail building to protect it from the Soviets destroying it. I loved the man who became so wealthy and remained so generous that he built so many charities and orphanages, and pipelines that still supply the city with beautiful fresh water ! It was very special to also walk through buildings built by the Polish architects that incorporated Azeri symbols into the design. I'm such a fan of architecture , it was very meaningful to me to get to know the unique stories behind these buildings.

Rajab our tour guide was excellent. He gave a detailed and very interesting information on ever site we visited. He has love and passion for his city and it shows. It is well worth the tour as you get a complete orientation of the city.
