Avoid this guy at all costs!!!
Avoid this guy at all costs!!!He simply did not answer after booking our request about the pick-up time within 4 days and cancelled the tour at short notice, a few hours before the booked photoshooting!!! What an unfair and miserable practice to destroy someone’s vacation!!! We spent so much time asking and begging him to state the pick-up time and then needed to waste even extra time rescheduling our plans. He simply cancelled it because he had to much work and no time! We even gave him opportunity to take photos on an another day but he cancelled it anyway. Letting this guy do business on this platform must be a joke!

Canceled by the photographer in the night before the photoshoot
Unfortunately, I don’t recommend. We booked it few days advance, didn’t get a pickup time, so we asked for the time of pickup 2 days before, there came the info, that the photographer will contact us, we still didn’t get an info, so we asked again 1 day before the shooting. No reply at all. So we asked the photographer directly through his FB and he answered us that he will write us in the evening because he has so much to do. At 22:12! the night before the photoshooting we got the information that he won’t have time at all! So we offered 3 other alternative dates for the photoshooting. He declined all of them. So long story short. In the night before the photoshoot we got the info (because we asked, he didn’t contact us first!) that we won’t have a shooting at all! Super unprofessional!

The best Photographer in Baku
Hussain is one of the most incredible photographers I’ve had the chance to meet. The shots he took truly speak for themselves. He guides you with posing tips and captures photos from a variety of angles, which makes the whole experience both fun and engaging. You also get to learn more about Baku along the way, which makes it even more special. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend him if you’re looking to take some memorable photos to bring home from Baku.

A unique experience
Our brother is doing a great job. A true professional. He showed me the most beautiful places and took some amazing photos. We also chatted with people while walking in the street. I got to know Baku very well, and I also gained a wonderful friend. I will keep these photos for the rest of my life.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.
How much does Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baku usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baku is not rushed.
Is Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baku, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baku can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baku and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Baku: Old City Cultural Photoshoot in Azerbaijani Dress start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baku within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Baku?
+
On Outty we rank every Baku experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gobustan and Absheron tour, BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour (Group or Private), Shahdag, Quba, Candy Cane - Azerbaijan's Alpine Odyssey Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Baku?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Baku?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
