Exploring Shamakhi, Ismayilli, Gabala, and Sheki in a single day. - I had the opportunity to explore the beauty and culture of Azerbaijan on a private full-day tour that highlighted four regions. This journey showcased the iconic landmarks and experiences of Shamakhi, Ismayilli, Gabala, and Sheki, all within a 12-hour timeframe. Our driver and tour guide, Rafeeqa, was highly professional, accommodating, and reliable throughout the tour. We began our journey by visiting the historic and stunning architecture of the Jummah Mosque, which holds local significance. Cross a nerve-wracking hanging bridge in Ismayilli for a short sightseeing walk and take in the stunning mountain views. Enjoy a relaxing local lunch in Gabala, surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery and the picturesque Nohur Lake. One of the highlights of our trip was exploring the magnificent 18th-century Palace of Shaki Khans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that truly showcases the brilliance of Azerbaijani architecture. We also had the opportunity to stroll through the historic Karvansaray, where we captured some memorable photographs. Lastly, we visited Kish Village, travelling in a charming vintage car as we navigated the narrow roads, alleys, and cobblestone streets. Within the village, we discovered the ancient Church of Kish, a historic Caucasian Albanian temple. The trip and experience were truly remarkable, and I would highly recommend the tour with Baku Heritage Travel if given the opportunity.

Incredible Two-Days Private Tour - I took two tours from Baku Heritage Tours, and it was an incredible experience. Booking is fast and convenient via WhatsApp, and payment can be done online via a payment link. The customer representative is attentive and replies immediately. I managed to book my tour in less than an hour. They advise on the itinerary schedules and ticket/admission pricing for the locations beforehand. The tour staff are punctual and polite (Cheers to my guide, Mr. Keenan, and his colleague who drove me to Gabala) Overall, it is an incredible experience worth trying! Tours I booked are private Gobustan - Absheron and Gabala - Shamakhi Tour.
