A memorable ride - We had an unforgettable experience. We got so much more than we anticipated from this trip. The sights on the way to Khinalug were picturesque and breathtaking. Nestled among the Caucasus mountains, this remote village is a perfect destination for nature lover and adventure seekers. The ride to the top of the mountain was frightening and exciting at the same time. Our guide was very nice and made this journey memorable. He shared pictures and videos of the journey. At the end of the day we also got a chance to visit the candy cane mountains which is a beautiful sight in itself. The trip lasted 10 hrs and we enjoyed every minute of it.

The most beautiful landscapes - Quba is the perfect place to enjoy the essence of slow tourism. The city itself is a nice walk, but furthermost it is the perfect starting point to go to small mountain villages and take in all the beauty of the Caucasian mountains. The road is an experience itself, truly unmissable.

Horrible experience - I took the private tour thinking i would get to see all the places listed in the tour description. But instead, more than half of the things i couldn't see. I could just go to khinaluq and that's about it. The driver and the guide were constantly blabbering in azerbaijani, not at all bothered about the tour. stopping for cigarette breaks. This is not how a trip is supposed to be. I paid 288 USD for this trip. I got to see places worth 100 USD. Candy i couldnt see. Qechresh forest was not at all a forest. Five finger beshbarmag was under the clouds. The guide and the driver didnt know anything about red town. All in all worst trip ever.
