The highest village of Azerbaijan - Tour started on time and guide explained everything on our way. After spending some time in Guba we went to Xınalıq village to spend most of our time. What a day! I cannot forget a delicious lunch we had which was in the local house of that village. Everyone should see Xınalıq ♥️

Guba tour - The trip was fun. The weather in Quba is cold and we enjoyed the snowfall. And there was skating. We have an experience we will never forget. We would like to thank the company for organizing the trip well. The hotel, car, driver, and tours were all excellent

Excited and fantastic - I had an amazing tour with the guide”Toto”. From the ride there it was beautiful views over the mountains and the small narrow roads were interesting to ride on. The village we visited was incredible, approximately 2300m high up in the mountains and had a local lunch which was fantastic. The guide was excellent, good jokes, good story telling and provided very good information. I really recommend this tour. Best regards from Sweden

An average trip - Uncomfortable vehicle for a long journey in the mountains. It is difficult to travel not facing the road causes motion sickness. The language was primarily Russian. The guide should have been more friendlier and could have made the journey more interesting.

Poor organization. Nice tour - They move the day from the best sunny day to the day later giving me an excuse saying that was too cold for climbing (there is no climbing in the tour). They give me the pick up time at 11PM of the day before. The guide was a nice guy, but not well prepared and with low english level. We didn't get any explanation for "five finger mountain" and we totally missed "Qechresh forest". The experience was pleasant thanks to the nice travelmates.

Long Drive, short lunch. Do not recommend. - The Guide was very good. He helped us learn the language. He was also helped us order food at the roadside stand and get me vegetarian food at the home stay in the mountains. However, I must’ve misread the itinerary. It was essentially a very long drive with a short lunch. And nothing else. I strongly discourage you from doing this tour.
