As for the cooking class, IT WAS AMAZING!! 1- It is done in a local resturant in Old City Baku. 2- The instructor is an old lady who will show you how to make authentic food; very cheerful spirit and sweet to engage with. I highly recommend Old City Tours and this activity if you want something fun to do while getting a local experience.”
