My wife and I took the day tour to Sheki, Shamakhi and Ismailiyi with Ms Chinara. It was a delightful experience and we learned so much about Azerbaijani history and even had a yummy lunch in Sheki! Highly recommend!
The trip was absolutely wonderful. The transport was very convenient and both the driver and tour guide were extremely friendly, helpful and well informed. They went out of their way to make it a wonderful day and a memorable experience.
Fuad took us to out of baku. We visited to mosque in shamakhi city, very well renovated and polite people. Then we visited to khan palace and caravansarai in Sheki. Overall everything went very well and we liked. Next time hope to overnight there. Long trip, but worth to visit!!!!
Great day trip. It is a long day but each of the places visited was worth it. The Sheki Palace and Albanian Church were especially highlights. Really worth doing.
We went from Baku, the journey is quite long but smooth. Parvana was really kind, helpful and caring. We stopped at the mosque, then to sheki palace and karvabsaray, the silk road journey was interesting. Parvana was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The road was under construction when we went there, she and the kind driver try as much as possible to go home with another alternative road to ensure our journey is comfortable. She even treat us tea and petal roses jam at the pretty albanian temple. Overall the journey was great. Thank you Parvana, big hugs from both of us
