Had a really good experience with this tour. Elşad, our guide was very good, giving us good information on the sites we visited, and about the history and culture of Azerbaijan. He gave us plenty of time at each site to look around and take pictures. Our driver was great, and the vehicle was comfortable.

It’s a very long day with a lot of driving but the views along the way are beautiful and Ruzi is very knowledgeable and also knows so much about Azerbaijan and other countries and cultures, which is probably why he clicked so well with everyone on the tour. We learnt al lot about Azerbaijan as we travelled and listened to some great music. Ruzi also takes an interest in people. Yaltchin our driver is such a lovely guy too, and such a skilled driver. Sheki is certainly worth the long trip and I know I really enjoyed my visit to the palace of Shaki Khans, Sheki Karvansaray and also the Albanian Church of Kish. Beautiful weather and interesting wanderings. We had a delicious meal on the way and I felt so happy this day.

Interesting visit to the city of Seki and its World Heritage monuments. A glimpse of Azerbaijani history between Islam, early Christianity, Azerbaijani culture and reminiscences of the Russian Empire with snow-capped mountains in the background. Just driving (comfortable and safe) is in itself a pleasant experience. Excellent and helpful guide Ruza
Sheki is the real deal

Absolutely loved Sheki, such a charming place. Shopped from the small craft street. VIP Karuvan food and setting were also amazing. The group was a lot of fun. Our tour guide Elshad was very knowledgeable, engaging and took care of every little detail to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying the trip.
