Review of Azerbaijan’s 14-hour Sheki tour from Baku, with mountain scenery, mosques, lakes, waterfalls, palace, bazaar, costs, and practical tips.

“Nabat was an excellent guide, she struck the perfect balance of giving us interesting information while weaving in personal stories. It’s difficult to guide in two languages English and Russian, but she did it perfectly. The itinerary was good, and the restaurant was great. Long drive, so the vehicle could be a bit bigger.”
