Guide details

A full introduction so you know what to expect when you book with Ceren.

I believe the best way to understand Baku is through its food and the neighbourhoods where locals actually eat and live. My tours take you beyond the main squares into markets, bakeries, tea houses, and family-run restaurants where you can taste real Azerbaijani cuisine and hear the stories behind the dishes.

We’ll try everything from fresh lavash and qutab to plov, dolma, and sweets like pakhlava and halva. I explain the regional variations, the role of tea culture, and how Soviet and Persian influences have shaped what we eat today. I also point out hidden courtyards, street art, and quiet corners that most visitors never find.

I speak English and Azərbaycan and work with small groups so everyone gets a personal experience. Whether you’re a serious foodie or just curious about local life, I’ll pace the tour to suit you and can suggest the best places to return to on your own. Come hungry—and leave with a real taste of Baku.

    Great value and small groups.

    5/5Great value and small groups.

    Highly recommend. The group size was small so we could ask plenty of questions. Booking was smooth.
