Big company with good service - I joined the sheki tour just the night before it started. Thought this is big company with soso service but turns out its all good. Our guide Nursan is waiting at the starting point ahead, and we started early than other groups, which made our journey more comfortable. She speaks good english and knows lots of the history and knowledge, and the explanation is clear enough to understand. Our trip went well and on time, everyone is happy. I stayed behind in sheki.

Enjoyed exploring Azerbaijan! - Highlight of this trip was Sheki! Beautiful scenery (mountains), The palace of Sheki Khan's, caravanserai, Sheki fortress and Albanian Church. Lots to see in one place! I also liked Juma Mosque and the hanging bridge! The lake on the way back we weren't able to see because it was already too dark and we lost some time in the morning and then we had two big breaks which I think could have been shortened or maybe it would have made more sense if we saw the lake earlier in the day. Also, at the beginning of the trip we lost almost an hour waiting for other tourists which I think isn't fair for the rest of the people. We could have seen the lake if it wasn't for them... But nonetheless, my partner and I were able to enjoy our trip and made some nice memories!:)

Beautiful Sheki - It was a long journey to see not so much. But the guide, Fatima, did it very well. The driver was The driver was terrible. He drove too fast and recklessly.

Some sites felt out of place - This was a great way to see the countryside and visit a variety of places in Azerbaijan. Our guide was informative and able to explain the history behind each site quite well. I learned quite a bit about the country during this tour. I was pleased with all of the locations that we visited, except for the waterfall and the lake. The waterfall (which has an additional entry fee) is in a theme park and is totally artificial, and we made it to the lake (also in a theme park) after sunset, so there was very little to see. This tour could easily drop these two locations for something more significant, and be just as good.

Long drive for little interesting - Long drive to the hinterland. Quite interesting to see more than Baku. Sheki was very nice, the mosque visited on the way was also okay, but the remaining stops could have been omitted (suspension bridge and lake). The bus was mini (very tight) and the seats sat out and uncomfortable. The tour guide was disinterested and gave only a few memorized information (could have been read on the Internet yourself). The driving style of the bus driver was questionable (almost asleep early, driving at high speed in the dark in the evening). You should stock up on enough drinks and food for the day, as on the way there is only in Sheki the possibility to buy something. Return was 10:30 p.m. and no stop was scheduled for dinner.

UNESCO site to LONG, 4 stops no worthwhile - 13 hours to spend 45 mi in the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE site!!! The guide spoke 6.5 English in a scale of 1 to 10. The lunch at the restaurant the tour company recommended was expensive, and DID NOT TAKE CREDIT CARD from Usa Banks, my friends from SPAIN use his credit card with no problem. The worse part is they blame me or the BANK, which is FALSE
