Super fun tour I've ever have - I really appreciate our excellent tour guid Mr. Rauf and his nice asistent Mr. Abdullah, they treated their guests so friendly and perfectly. We had a long trip to Shaki city but we didn't get board or tired because we had so much fun during the trip because of our tour guide's humorous personality. The tour organized very well and we didn't miss anything during our tour program.

Enthralling Journey Through the Historical Gems of Sheki, Azerbaijan - Our recent visit to Sheki, Azerbaijan, was an unforgettable journey, rich with cultural heritage and architectural marvels. Among the highlights of our trip were the visits to the Khan Saray Palace and the Caravan Saray, which left us in awe of Azerbaijan’s historical depth and architectural grandeur. The Khan Saray Palace, also known as the Sheki Khans’ Palace, is a masterpiece of Islamic architecture nestled amidst lush green gardens. Its exterior, adorned with intricate patterns and colorful mosaics, offers a prelude to the opulence inside. The interior of the palace is a testament to the craftsmanship of the 18th century, with stunning stained glass windows (Shebeke) and elaborate frescoes that narrate stories of a bygone era. The attention to detail in every corner of the palace speaks volumes about the skill and artistry of the craftsmen. The serene ambiance of the palace grounds added a tranquil backdrop to our exploration. Equally captivating was our visit to the Caravan Saray, a historical inn that has stood the test of time, offering a glimpse into the bustling life of traders along the Silk Road. Its robust structure and the ambiance of historical trade routes transported us back in time. The Caravan Saray’s massive entrance and the central courtyard, surrounded by intricate balconies and rooms, were impressive, showcasing the architectural brilliance and the strategic importance of Sheki in the Silk Road trade network. A special mention must be made of our tour guide, Rza, whose expertise and passion for his homeland’s history enriched our experience manifold. Rza’s knowledge of the sites, coupled with his engaging storytelling, made each moment of our tour memorable. His attention to detail and the ability to cater to our group of 7 with varying interests was commendable. We highly recommend Rza to anyone looking to delve deeper into the cultural and historical landscapes of Azerbaijan. We left Sheki with a deep appreciation for its heritage and a promise to return. For those planning a visit, Sheki, with its rich history and beautiful landscapes, is a destination not to be missed.

Baku - Temple of fire, mud volano etc etc. It was very interesting but it should be taken more seriously and 1. The tour guide should invest in a microphone on the bus 2. Clear instructions on what to book 3. Provide more presence aroind attractions 4.audio phones 5. More souvenier shops around attractions. After all it was great and the giudes made full effort with all tools that are given. Thank you
