Epic longest tour from Baku - The longest epic tour from Baku that stretches 14 hours. Kudos to our hero guide Sabuhi who did an incredible historian job of herding us and breaking down history, politics and current affairs to us. He is a multi- linguist who speaks several languages. We were the only 2 English speakers outnumbered by Russian coldness. He switched effortless between the 2. The Sheki trip was epic - it was a long drive broken up into several pit stops. The highlight is Sheki Khan Palace, a UNESCO spot in recent times of 2029. The palace is simple but the narrative of the build is impressive. Sabuhi and our driver did a great job entertaining and taking good care of us. Always in good spirits, you learn so much from him.

Good but could be better - It was a lot of fun. Except when we stopped for lunch we only got 45 mins it would have been better if we got 60-75 mins.

Great trip through Azerbaijan - One of the best trips I ever had, great group and guide Behbud, he allowed us to spend as much time as needed at the sights though we just arrived back at around 0:30h the next day. He was very passionate about guiding us around and explained a lot about daily life in Azerbaijan. His English was very good since he studied in the UK. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended ❤️ - I would like to thank the Smile Azerbaijan tour team, in particular Elsher, for a comfortable trip and a wonderful excursion. There is a lot of history, stories, everything is complete and fascinating even while moving from one point to another. In the morning we were taken directly from the hotel, a comfortable car. I recommend it 🙏🏻

Great tour and guide! Thank you - Great tour! We didn’t expect anything special when we booked, but based on the results of the week in Baku, the day on this tour was the most eventful and educational. Thanks to guide Ali for the light atmosphere, interesting stories and humor. I went with my teenage son and both really enjoyed it. I recommend!

Recommend 2 days trip - We have a great tour guide and very helpful (03MAY2024). Only issue I have is the trip planning and I highly recommend it to be at least TWO (2) days. We spent most of our time sitting in vehicle. As a foreigner who wants to explore Azerbaijan but has minimal clue of the distance/ things to see, it is better to be honest and up-front. I rather pay for 2 days than a single day.

Good to get an impression from the countryside - The guide Alex/Scander (?) was nice, he could speak English, Turkish and Russian. The tour was way longer than expected (8am-11.30pm) and with some adaptions to the original program. Many smoking breaks, many shopping stops. So quite touristic in the end. The nature you can see is beautiful, the drive and roads very scenic - so if you want to see some landscapes of the country it’s perfect. The vehicle was nice and comfortable, the group size very good (7).

Wrecked my last day. - It didn't happen! I booked the tour the previous day, I got the email confirmation from Viator and my credit card was debited. The Tour operator (Smile Azerbaijani Tour) either DID NOT get the booking from Viator OR the Tour operator DID NOT read the booking. The tour went without me. The tour operator apologized and refunded the money in cash in the local currency. This was marginally less than the amount Viator booked from credit card. I then had to convert that cash into $US at the border, meaning a further loss.

Terrible — Please avoid - Absolutely terrible — A terrible racist guide with poor time management and social skills. This tour has lots of “hidden sites” including a winery, sweet and honey shops — they took up so much time that we have only 10-15 minutes for the proper attractions (eg Sheki and Caravanesi). The guide also stared at and rushed me (not the caucasians) rudely to complete my lunch even though the main problem was his time management. To improve the tour, the operator should specify and consider separating the Russian/Turkish participants from English-speaking ones. The commentary was sparse and non-informative. PS I found out that you can order a Bolt from Baku to the attractions at half the price.
