History, architecture and amazing views - Communication with Artunj for the tour was excellent. Guide Vasif was excellent, very patient and honest. We travelled with out 3 months old infant and 3 year old son. This tour covers history, architecture and culture. Best views of mountains and rivers on route Lahij. Shopping for handcrafts, tea and dried fruits was at a good price. Book this tour and experience it yourselves.

Great trip! - It was a wonderful experience with my knowledgeable driver Farhad - who also speaks very good English. Nice to walk around in Lahic without tourist ( there will be a lot more in summer!) - nice lunch by the river afterwards ! Apart from looking at the mosque and the mausoleum in Shamakhi , we also stopped at a winery, where I could try some of the excellent wines!

comprehensive day tour - Overall a very good day tour / very courteous driver. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who desires to obtain an introductory experience to the center of the country. I particularly appreciated the visits of off-the-beaten-track historical sites such as 500-1000 years old cemeteries to learn about some of the important figures who were buried there.
