Amazing trip
Incredible journey, we went through some amazing landscapes. Guide was very nice and courteous. Since mine was a private tour, we made adjustments along the way. He took great care to make sure that I was safe and had a great time. Highly recommend this trip.

The best travel company in Azerbaijan
Our Shamakhi–Lahij–Gabala–Sheki tour was simply wonderful. We visited the impressive Juma Mosque, explored the ancient village of Lahij, and admired the breathtaking landscapes of Azerbaijan. The hotel we stayed at was very comfortable, centrally located, and a great place to relax. We also enjoyed the delicious local cuisine along the way. Emin proved to be a truly professional guide, making the whole journey seamless and enriching. I highly recommend this tour company to everyone!

The best travel company in Azerbaijan
The Shamakhi–Lahij–Gabala–Sheki tour was an amazing journey through nature, history, and culture. Every stop was breathtaking – from the mosque in Shamakhi to the unique crafts in Lahij, the mountain scenery of Gabala, and finally the charming town of Sheki. The highlight at the end was staying at the beautiful Sheki Palace Hotel, which offered comfort, elegance, and a true taste of Azerbaijani hospitality. The entire trip was well-planned, stress-free, and full of memorable impressions. I strongly recommend this company for anyone looking for the best tours in Azerbaijan – you won’t regret it!

Great trip to Sheki
We had a great tour to Sheki with Emin. We visited lots of interesting places on the way and Emin provided detailed commentary for the places we were seeing. It's a great tour as it allows you to see a lot of varied places on a short trip and breaks up the long drive to Sheki. On the way to Sheki we had a lovely lunch of Qutabs in a forest - nothing fancy but a great local experience. Emin ensured that we managed to see all the places on the itinerary and made it to Sheki with enough time for us to take an evening stroll through the city before dinner. The hotel that was arranged for us in Sheki was very comfortable and we had a good rest after a long day on the road.

Must visit if you want to see place outside Baku
I have to dedicate this trip to Mr Rustam, because for the 2 days , he was our guide, driver and local support for any help... This trip was great, incase you want to see the region outside Baku, which itself was so beautiful with varied terrain like arid land, green forest to high mountains. The entire journey is nearly 400 km , but worth the trip. Out last stop Sheki was also a very pretty town and they arranged in Sheki palace hotel, which was next to all the major attractions and nice area to walk around... Rustam was a safe driver , ensured he stopped wherever we wanted him to stop, very patient and he was more like our family member, by the end of the tour. Diri baba, jumaasjid, nohar lake and sheki Sarai are all worth watching. It's a 5 hour drive from sheki back to Baku.... Rustam went out the way to arrange a hotel for us, when unexpectedly our booked hotel fellow cancelled without prior information at last moment at late night.... Thank you helping us out Rusti... He has good collection of Azerbaijani songs, don't miss it... Yes one point, he is your driver,.not.guide, so can't expect too much information from him, though he did his best.... As per me, if you want to see the places beyond Baku, must go , as it was worth investing on, while it was little expensive, still with the experience.....

2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Baku.
How much does 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route) cost?
+
Prices start at $236 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Baku usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route) take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Baku is not rushed.
Is 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Baku, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route)?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Baku can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Baku and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 days 1 Night Shamakhi - Gabala - Lahij - Sheki Tour ( Northern Route) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Baku within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Baku?
+
On Outty we rank every Baku experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gobustan and Absheron tour, BEST Gobustan, Volcanoes & Absheron Fire Tour (Group or Private), Shahdag, Quba, Candy Cane - Azerbaijan's Alpine Odyssey Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Baku?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Baku?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
