Fun day at Lahij
I’m in love this small city in top of the mountains , the simple lifestyle and the friendly locals. The view of the magical mountains while driving to the city was also incredible. We were lucky to see the rainbow on our way back. Ms. Senuber, the tour guide and Mr. Kamron, the driver who been accompanying me were so friendly and made my whole trip awesome. The tour was arranged by Guided Azerbaijan tour company.

A relaxing trip with family
We had booked our all tours in Azerbaizan with Guided Azerbaijan and Ms. Lamia had arranged everything as per our requirement. Mr Fouad was our driver throughout. We had a wonderful time there, without worrying about the arrangement once we reached Azerbaizan. They were very professional yet very warm and welcoming.

Professionally Managed Tour
Our family of 4 took the full day Shamakhi and Lahij tour with Guided Azerbaijan. It was a very satisfying experience. Lahij is a remote mountain village which is off the beaten track and very interesting. Some amazing handicrafts can be purchased there. Kamil was a safe driver and very courteous. Overall, a professional and reliable service. Highly recommended
