      I loved this tour! Interesting and informative, with a great mix of history, mysterious landscapes, petroglyphs and natural fire phenomena. Thanks for showing this interesting part of Azerbaijan, would love to see this! ❤

      Awesome tour, would have been great to have a one on one with that guide. Just for the knowledge and stories of WW11 and other history I think not many cared. Sad Cheers Gabriel

      Something about WW2 history to Baku. Have you ever heard about the battle of stalingrad? The bloodiest battle in world history with over 2 mio death in six month.

      The german troops have to take stalingrad on their way the baku to took over the oil fields because germany also needs the oil resource.

      German troops also reach georgia but never azerbaijan. So the story with the german bombers is true because the germans troops came 300miles near to baku.

      Very impressive when you think the normal soldier almost walked the most of the time.

      Excellent series! I never really considered Azerbaijan as a destination and many vlogs only show the modern part of Baku… but there's so much more to see, looking forward to the next video(s) to learn more …and one more country added to my wishlist!🤩

      Gabe is forgetting to mention that Az is a suppressing Dictatorship with zero to non human rights and press freedom. Just above North Korea really. Apart from that giving this dictatorial and genocidial shithole a Plattform and make it an ok place to travel to is an absolute disgrace and proves where you standing. You suit az very well – you should immigrate. Never forgot that one formula 1 drivers mic was on speaker and it mistakenly got on air as he said after the race “ man, can’t wait to leave this shithole” 😂😂

      So the new shoes are properly inaugurated now. Let's hope there are no more wet-socks-in-sandals adventures from now on.

      It is disgusting that you would promote a country that is committing genocide against the indigenous Armenian population in Artsakh, murdering and BURNING women and children. They also use white phosphorus to chemically burn Armenians when they tried to escape into the forests. You are either a paid PR hack spreading propaganda or truly ignorant. If you have an ounce of humanity in you then take down this video and make up for it by documenting the ethnic cleansing happening there.
