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.
