Baku free tour

The guide Ali was very knowledgeable and had excellent English. He explained issues around the Azerbaijani language and writing systems lucidly and responded engagingly to all our (many!) questions, and was interested in discussing travel issues more gener. Might have been more fun with more participants, but kudos to the guide/agency for going ahead with a small group.
