This was the absolute best travel experience! I LOVED it! We traveled to a small town outside of Baku to the home of the tour guide's granny where she and her family have been living for 30 years. To be welcomed into her home and see how real Azerbaijanian's live was amazing and would have made me happy enough. But, the food was also FANTASTIC. Everything was entirely homemade, it was all prepared perfectly, and I was able to try many, many typical Azerbaijanian dishes. The granny, her husband, and her daughter-in-law were all so very welcoming, were happy to take pictures with me, and gave me the most amazing travel experience I've had yet. If you want to experience real Azerbaijanian life and love trying local food, this will be one of the best things you'll ever do.
