I did the downtown Baku walk with Emin. First, I was the only participant on them tour and was pleasantly surprised that Emin did not cancel. It felt like a one-on-one personalized tour. Emin’s knowledge of the downtown area is deep and expert. No matter how esoteric or individualistic my questions were, Emin gave expert answers. He allowed plenty of time for photos. You could tell that Emin was very proud of the city. He told stories and delivered little known city facts. He allowed plenty of time for photos. It is hard to find your guides as friendly and intelligent as Emin.
