I really enjoyed the Azerbaijan and Georgia trip. I love the way Intrepid lets me go to places that are off the tourist route. I loved the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. A charming city and I was quite unprepared for its beauty. It has such a wonderful architectural mix through the ages. Tiblisi in Georgia was also wonderful. The view from the fortress is stunning. A steam bath is a must. Our leaders were excellent and Balash was extremely knowledgeable. Thank you Intrepid.
