Experience was good. I would recommend you to travel with this company. Guide was knowledgeable same driver was experienced. Happy with having a trip with them.
Hello! Thanks for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour! Best Regards, Azerbaijan Tour!😊
The sites and scenes were great, but it was too much for a day and we did not get back to Baku until after midnight. I would recommend doing Sheki as a separate day trip as we did not get to see or do much there.
