What To Expect
Shamakhi
We begin the morning in the ancient city of Shamakhi, where you'll enjoy a traditional Azerbaijani breakfast in true countryside style. Expect scream-eggs with tomatoes (a local favorite cooked over an open flame), freshly baked tandoor bread, cheese, honey, butter, cream, and piping hot tea. Simple, soulful, and deeply authentic.
Ismailly
As we make our way to Sheki, we’ll take a break in the lush forests of Ismayilli for a tea stop with a local delicacy known as “Three Ears.” Nestled among the trees and mountains, this peaceful setting offers a true taste of the Caucasus — where every breath is filled with the scent of nature and every sip connects you to the land.

Journey to the soul of Azerbrijan - Şəki with Seyid

5.00The trip to Sheki with Seyid was a journey through Azerbaijani history, from Tamerlane through Persian influence to the khanates and the present day. The history of the Caucasus and its neighbors became more understandable and unexpectably clear. Thanks, Seyid, see you next time.
Excellent experience!

5.00On the trip to Sheki our guide was Aguz. The trip left the most pleasant experience. Besides the tour itself in the city, our tour guide gave a lot of information about Azerbaijan during the bus movement. Answered any questions that arose. And speaking on behalf of my friends who we traveled with, we've learned a lot more about this country. Visitors from Belarus (4 people).
Fantastic!

5.00We had a nice 2-day tour with a cheerful, friendly, kind, attentive and helpful guide (Seyidaĝa) who tirelessly helped with everything all the time despite 2 long days where we had many nice different experiences along the way. We also had a really good driver who drove us safely back and forth and probably waited for us. In a rather dangerous situation, he responded rapidly and saved us all from a huge accident.
Well organized

5.00Sayeed was such a great tour guide. Super knowledgeable and good at communicating with the group. It's a long day, but worth it to visit outside of Baku.

4.00My day tour to Sheki was a delightful experience, well worth the price! The journey was filled with stunning sights, and our tour guide’s wealth of knowledge truly brought each location to life, sharing fascinating details about Sheki’s history and culture in both English and Russian to accommodate our diverse group. Despite a car breakdown, the guide’s quick thinking and professionalism shone through, promptly arranging another vehicle to ensure we returned to Baku on time without missing a beat. The seamless handling of this hiccup only added to the trip’s charm, showcasing the team’s dedication to customer satisfaction. The scenic beauty of Sheki, from its lush landscapes to historic landmarks, was unforgettable, and the tour felt well-organized and engaging throughout. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Azerbaijan’s gems with a knowledgeable guide who goes above and beyond to make the experience memorable. It’s a fantastic value for the price, blending cultural immersion with professional service!
