We visited Azerbaijan for the first time with my family. If you like nature and mountains Sheki and Guba are the best places in Azerbaijan. The cuisine of these regions is unbelievable. We liked our tour company - they were very kind and honest and it was not expensive. Young and civilized people working here, the hardest thing to find in the tourism sector in any country.. Thanks for everything!

We had booked a customized weeklong trip with Guided Azerbaijan and planned several excursions with them. We had particularly outstanding service from Lamia in planning our trip and with our driver, Tahir, who was with us the entire time.
We visited Sheki as an overnight stay and customized the drive there to include stops at Shamakhi to visit the mosque and for tea and qutab at a traditional roadside restaurant. Sheki is not to be missed when visiting Azerbaijan. It is a charming small city highlighted by the beautify Sheki Khan Palace. We had a very informative and enjoyable tour.
