Sheki is worth the trip!... - Sheki is worth the trip! The road is long but very beautiful, in the middle of the Caucasus mountains. Precisely for this reason the small group worked perfectly. The exceptional guide: nice, competent and available to give all the information about the country. I highly recommend it but it is 8 hours of travel. Some problems on the pickup but fixable Thank you.

Big company with good service - I joined the sheki tour just the night before it started. Thought this is big company with soso service but turns out its all good. Our guide Nursan is waiting at the starting point ahead, and we started early than other groups, which made our journey more comfortable. She speaks good english and knows lots of the history and knowledge, and the explanation is clear enough to understand. Our trip went well and on time, everyone is happy. I stayed behind in sheki.

Good trip, would recommend. Confirm details with Company before hand. - Tour Guide and driver: The tour guide Saeed was amazing. He knew everything and handled the two different language groups properly. He was excellent. The driver was good too. Tour company: My feedback for the company is to respect the pick up time you confirmed since this tour starts very early in the morning. I double confirmed twice the night before and they confirmed the time. On the day at the pick up time they delayed it by 40 mins. We woke up early and got ready just to be delayed by 40 minutes. The car must be more comfortable. We got a car which could only sit 4 guests comfortably. But we were 5. I was in the middle seat for almost 8 hours of the car drive which was not comfortable at all.

Nice trip with our guide but too short time in Sheki - I have been travelling to Sheki with a very small group and our guide Ahmed who was very knowledgeable, calm and patient with us. We visited Shamaxi and its mosque and continued to the hanging bridge. The landscape in the mountain was beautiful. We went to a bucolic place to a lake close to Qabala. Sheki is a lovely town but I regret we could not stay more time there. We should focus more on Sheki and maybe avoid previous stops. Ahmed tried to answer our wishes but he had to follow the program. We came back to Baku very late that night, Ahmed made this trip very interesting although we did not stay enough time in Sheki.

Enjoyed exploring Azerbaijan! - Highlight of this trip was Sheki! Beautiful scenery (mountains), The palace of Sheki Khan's, caravanserai, Sheki fortress and Albanian Church. Lots to see in one place! I also liked Juma Mosque and the hanging bridge! The lake on the way back we weren't able to see because it was already too dark and we lost some time in the morning and then we had two big breaks which I think could have been shortened or maybe it would have made more sense if we saw the lake earlier in the day. Also, at the beginning of the trip we lost almost an hour waiting for other tourists which I think isn't fair for the rest of the people. We could have seen the lake if it wasn't for them... But nonetheless, my partner and I were able to enjoy our trip and made some nice memories!:)

Long drive for little interesting - Long drive to the hinterland. Quite interesting to see more than Baku. Sheki was very nice, the mosque visited on the way was also okay, but the remaining stops could have been omitted (suspension bridge and lake). The bus was mini (very tight) and the seats sat out and uncomfortable. The tour guide was disinterested and gave only a few memorized information (could have been read on the Internet yourself). The driving style of the bus driver was questionable (almost asleep early, driving at high speed in the dark in the evening). You should stock up on enough drinks and food for the day, as on the way there is only in Sheki the possibility to buy something. Return was 10:30 p.m. and no stop was scheduled for dinner.
