What To Expect
Juma Mosque
On the way from Baku to Sheki we visit Juma Mosque in Shamakhi (or Friday Mosque) is one of the tourist attractions often visited by travellers. It is included into our Shamakhi and Gabala tour. Unlike many mosques, entrance to Juma Mosque of Shamakhi is permitted even to non-Muslims. To enter, you need to remove your shoes, but walking barefoot is not a problem, because the floor is covered with thick carpets. In addition, women must cover their heads in order to enter the mosque, so they provide free head cover at the entrance, which is required to be returned at the exit.
Palace of Shaki Khans
The Palace itself built in 1762 as a summer residence for the Khan of Sheki. During the construction of the building, no single nails and glues were used. From inside, all the walls of the Palace are full of paintings which each painting has its own philosophical meaning. In the garden outside of the palace, you will discover 2 plane trees that both are 500 years old.

Great Sheki Tour

5.00Ismaili was a superb guide with excellent English skills. He was knowlegeable, helpful, and went out of his way to add an extra unscheduled stop in which we were particularly interested to the itinerary. We recommend him highly.
バクー以外の歴史のあるアゼルバイジャンの街を1日で楽しめるツアー

5.00This was a day trip from Baku to the World Heritage city of Sheki. It was quite a distance from Baku, so I was a little worried, but the scenery along the way was amazing and our guide, Alex, had a great time telling stories. It would actually be nice to stay overnight in Sheki, but I still had a lot of fun on the day trip. It was a great tour for experiencing Azerbaijan outside of Baku. I highly recommend it for people who like cities with a sense of history. バクーから1日で世界遺産のあるシェキの街を日帰りで訪れるツアーでした。かなりバクーから距離があるので少し心配でしたが途中の景色も素晴らしくガイドのALEXの話も楽しくて良かったです。 本当はシェキで宿泊するのも良いと思いますが日帰りでもとても楽しめました。 バクー以外のアゼルバイジャンを楽しむにはとても良いツアーでした。 歴史が感じられる街が好きな方にはとてもおすすめできます。
A good way to see the Azerbaijan countryside if you're pushed for time

5.00I enjoyed the day trip to Sheki - Ali was a knowledgeable guide and everything went to plan and pickup on time. It's a long trip and you only get a couple of hours in Sheki. If you have time I'd recommend staying a night - seems like a nice place to spend some time. However this is a great option if you're rushed and don't want to be crammed into a tour bus. Ali and his driver were great company for the 12 hour round trip - would recommend.
Unacceptable Racist Behaviour

1.00A tour guide to destroy your day! The tour guide happened to not only show any interest in our tour but also to be racist expressing his personal political views with so much hate – something completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable for a guide! On top of everything, had we not pointed it out, he would have missed our first scheduled stop at the mosque – even though it was explicitly included in the booking – and no historical background or explanation was given, despite us asking for that at the beginning of the tour. It was more important to the guide to constantly talk to the driver all the way to Sheki and back, showing no regard for us, despite this being a private tour. That’s not the behaviour I would expect from a tour guide on a private tour and would never recommend him to anyone else. He ruined our visit to beautiful Sheki.

5.00We did a 2D1N private tour to Shekki and Gabala, with Elshad as our guide and driver (sorry I forgot his name). The driver and guide were both very attentive to our needs, and made the trip very enjoyable. When we were running behind time to our lunch place, due to we took too much time at one destination, the guide brought us some snacks in case we were hungry. We asked for a place with authentic local food, and was brought to a really nice restaurant where mostly locals go, we dont like touristy places, as we want to experience local way of life. Elshad has very good knowledge of the places we visited. Our entire experience with Guided Azerbaijan has been really great, starting from the first point of contact. Narmin, the lady who contacted us on the tour itineraries/etc were very helpful and prompt on her responses to our questions. I highly recommended this tour.
Recommended!

5.00We had a fantastic 2 day tour with Cemaleddin as our guide and Nazir as our driver. They were both super nice and everything went smoothly. We highly recommend Sheki. It is a lovely town and we went shopping at the market.
Great 2 day cultural and nature tour in north west Azerbaijan and the mountains

5.00We took an amazing private 2 day tour that covered sites in Shamakhi, Gabala, and Sheki. We stayed overnight in Gabala. The tour was arranged by Guided Azerbaijan and was a great mixture of nature (Gabala) and cultural sites (Shamakhi & Sheki). We had a great guide, Ulya, and driver, that took full care of us, explained very clearly the sites, and took us safely and promptly from place to place, from the pick up at the hotel until the drop off back at the hotel after the tour. They arranged the itinerary so we would use the time most efficiently, and see the sights at the right time of day where the light was the best and we were lucky to have very good weather. We asked to stop frequently to take great pictures, and enjoyed the views and discussions in the car. Also the choices for lunch during the tour were excellent. Would highly recommend this 2 day tour and both Ulya the guide and the driver !!
Beautiful tour

5.00Sheki is a beautiful town in Azerbaijan and should not be missed. I loved everything about this small town and views were picturesque. Our tour guide Jamal & his driver were great and Jamal even made sure to help us with ordering the vegetarian food by translating our requirements to hotel staff and recommending few dishes. Overall Sheki tour is something every person visiting Azerbaijan for the first time should have on their itenarary.
Far but worth it

5.00Sheki tour was fun, bear in mind its further away from Gabala about an hour so make sure to keep that in mind. But in all it was fun especially how the windows of the Sheki palace was made and built. It was fun and informative tour.
