Only worth it if you really run out of things to do (like me)

3.00The guide was great - I can’t fault him at all! However, the experience was spoiled somewhat by the fact that I was given the wrong pickup time (one hour later than the actual pickup time), meaning I had a pretty rushed and chaotic start to the morning. I knew the travel time would be long, but I still have to say that this tour just doesn’t work. The stops are too short and we were sat in a cramped vehicle for 9 hours. If you want to visit Sheki, I’d highly recommend staying the night.

5.00We went on the tour with high expectations, and all of them were met. It’s a beautiful tour with many different stops and sights to see. Shahid is an amazing tour guide who explains well what each site offers, guides the group very well, is very nice and talkative and speaks English very well. We would highly recommend going on this tour!

5.00Shahid was a great guide. The tour took us closer to our next adventure Georgia and we had interesting stops on the way. I truly liked the Church and the hanging bridge.

5.00I had a great experience on today’s tour. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, smooth transportation, good timing, and interesting stops throughout the day. A special mention to our guide Elshad, who was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable. He explained everything clearly, answered questions, and created a very positive atmosphere during the trip. Highly recommended tour — everything went very well.
Good guide, but heavy tour

5.00I visited today, the guide was very good and spoke excellent English. In my opinion, however, it is too long and tiring a day in which you see few things compared to the time spent in the car
The tour program did not...

1.00The tour program did not match the description on the website. I paid for an all-inclusive tour, but once I arrived, I was told I had to pay for everything, and Viator refused to refund me the price difference.
An Unforgettable Adventure in Azerbaijan

5.00Four-day trip to Azerbaijan with friends. We decided to book this tour so we could see more wonders beyond the capital, Baku, and we were not disappointed — quite the opposite! The tour is long and full of experiences, but it is absolutely worth it. Everything is organized down to the smallest detail, and the timing of the visits is well balanced, without ever feeling rushed. Above all, the real highlight of the tour was our guide, Elshad — welcoming, professional, and always cheerful. He greeted us with a smile, involved everyone in the various activities, and was always ready to share details and interesting facts, while also making the journey fun with music and engaging conversations. A highly recommended trip!
A trip that should have been better

4.00Elshad is a very caring and knowledgeable guide. We love him. However the whole itineary should be redesigned to skip some sites along the trip in winter season and to leave more time for Sheki. Visiting only a few sites and then leaving barely helps us immerse ourselves in the history and culture of the town. I appreciate the land of Azerbaijan and hope the tour experience would be better for future guests.
Sheki Tour - MUST DO
sohailm490,Feb 17, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I did the Sheki Tour which was combined with the four regions tour stopping at numerous destinations on the way to Sheki. Our guide was Elshad who was very informative and very knowledgeable - constantly keeping everyone engaged. It was a great tour with a packed itinerary consisting of stops at Gebala Lake, Ismaili Bridge, Shamakhi Mosque and finally the historic city of Sheki. Definitely recommend this tour from Baku.
