An Experience Worth Remebering! - A day trip to Gabala and Shamakhi is certainly recommended for those travelling to Azerbaijan- a mix of cultural heritage and nature at its best. I personally found the trip very insightful because our tour guide Namig did a fantastic job of explaining the history, geography, and culture of Azerbaijan. He is a great storyteller. Also, great co-travellers from across the globe in this day trip. Don't think twice before signing up for this tour.
