Summary: I recently took a trip to Icheri Sheher (Old City) in Baku, and it was an amazing experience, especially with Nazperi (Naz) as my guide. Her extensive knowledge and storytelling really enhanced my visit. She provided insightful details about the history, heritage, and culture, as well as fascinating background stories about each monument. It was truly awesome!
