History Tours in Shaki

9 days Baku to Qabala - Sheki - Zaqatala - Sighnaghi and Tbilisi Private Tour

Trip to the Caucasian countries: Azerbaiyan, Georgia and Armenia.

Wonderful experience travelling from Azerbaiyan, Georgia and Armenia. The programme that Arthur planned for us was excellent. We should stay more days in every country because 12 days for all of them is not enough. The hotels and guides absolutely wonderful.

Private Full Day Sheki Heritage and Silk Road Tour

Authentic & Insightful Sheki Experience with a Wonderful Local Guide

My partner and I had long wanted to experience the ADY night train from Baku to Sheki, so we were specifically looking for a local guide who could show us around and provide deeper insights into Sheki’s rich history and culture. After reaching out to VLA Tour, they organized a fantastic 3.5h private tour in Sheki for us, covering key highlights such as Kish Church, the Caravanserai, Sheki Bazaar, and the Sheki Khan Palace, all with a dedicated guide and driver. Our guide, Zamina, was exceptional. She shared incredibly detailed and thoughtful explanations about the history of Sheki, including its complex cultural background and connections with the broader Caucasus region. One of the most memorable aspects was her storytelling about how Azerbaijani people preserve religious artifacts across different faiths, respecting all places of worship as sacred. It added a meaningful cultural perspective to the experience. The drive up to Kish Church involved some bumpy, unpaved (cobblestone-like) roads, but our driver—Zamina’s husband—handled it skillfully and safely, making the journey smooth despite the terrain. We also enjoyed a lovely tea break near Kish Church, where we learned more about Azerbaijani tea culture—another highlight that made the experience feel authentic and personal. Overall, a five out of five experience. Since we only joined the tour within Sheki (without transportation from Baku), the cost was about half compared to full packages, which made it even more worthwhile. I would highly recommend contacting VLA Tour if you’re planning to start your tour from Sheki and are looking for a well-organized, insightful, and culturally rich experience.
