Diri Baba Mausoleum, Qobustan, Azerbaijan The architecture of this mausoleum harmonically fits into the picturesque surroundings of the building – view against the background of rocks and greenery of trees. The building of the mausoleum is a masterpiece of the architectural school of Shirvan. It is considered one of the creations of the arts of ancient masters. The monument is protected by the government. 20 minutes
Sheki Khan's Palace, Sheki, Azerbaijan This ornate 1762 palace building features vivid murals and dazzling colored light streaming through Shabaka(stained-glass) windows making it Sheki’s foremost ‘sight’ and one of the South Caucasus’ most iconic buildings. It was originally the Sheki Khan’s administrative building, just one of around 40 now-lost royal structures within the fortress compound. 60 minutes
Sheki Karvansaray, Sheki, Azerbaijan Swift development of trade in the Middle Ages enhanced the importance of caravanserai existing in the territory of Azerbaijan at that time and favored construction of new ones. Generally, caravanserai was a built-in form of castles with one gate, closing of which made them impregnable during dangerous incidents. “Caravanserai” historical complex in Sheki is two magnificent caravanserais which reached present days and traditionally named “Yukhary” and “Ashaghy” caravanserai, which means “Upper” and “Lower” Caravanserai in translation from Azerbaijani into English. The construction of these caravanserais is dated back to the 18th-19th centuries. 30 minutes
Church of Kish, Sheki, Azerbaijan The brilliantly renovated round-towered Albanian church in pretty Kiş village has been lovingly converted into a very well-presented trilingual museum. It’s the best place anywhere to learn about mysterious Caucasian Albania, the Christian nation that once covered most of northern Azerbaijan. In fact, the church site goes back well beyond the Christian era, and glass-covered grave excavations allow visitors to peer down on the bones of possibly Bronze Age skeletons. 60 minutes

I used Best Baku Tours for four days of sightseeing in and around Baku as well as airport transfers. From the initial contact, Azad in the office was very responsive. We worked together on an itinerary. I paid for the tour on arrival in Azerbaijan. Because I didn't want a guide, Azad was able to arrange an English speaking driver for me. Riqaf, my driver, was an excellent driver and very flexible as we would add or delete things depending on my mood. I would highly recommend this company!!

I did several tours with the company, but Trip only allows me to pick up one tour. This review applies to Azerbaijan and to Best Baku Tours.
Azerbaijan was not an obvious destination for me, as I am sure it is not for most Western European tourists, who usually go to the same old places (Italy, Spain...).
You do come to see tourists in Azerbaijan, but they are from Arabic countries, from Iran, India, Russia, Georgia, and so on, and only a handfull from Western Europe. So a key interesting feature is that you come across many different cultures and languages and religions in this country. Best Baku Tours has gained a unique set of skills in dealing with tourists from so many different places which in this case it means that it can take into account the specificites of the tourist, but without loosing sight of the best that the country has to offer, which includes its sites, its culture, its cuisine, its way of living, and so on. Our driver (Gismet) took us to several popular destinations (Gobustan and Sheki), and to other less popular (Goygol and Guba), always maintaining a calm attitude during driving, in a country where negotiating traffic is an adventure in itself.
Best Baku Tours showed high levels of organisation coupled with adaptation and flexibility, which again shows that they know their business and their customer's needs.
Overall, this was a country worth visiting, and the people at Best Baku Tours did a fantastic job promoting the wonders of Azerbaijan.
