Ruslan is an excellent... - Ruslan is an excellent guide who provided us with comprehensive information about the places we visited, he’s also a very responsible driver, the whole drive from Baku to Khinalig was very smooth, without excessive speed and we felt safe on all the sections of the road. The highlight of the tour was the village of Khinalig which is very special and authentic. We also had a nice lunch there included in the tour program. There was also a friendly dog who accompanied us as we hiked through the village. Overall, we definitely recommend this tour and Ruslan as a guide.

Trip to Khinalig - I enjoyed the trip to Xinalyk with Leyla, the tour guide. Everything was so organised. They picked me up from the hotel. During the trip, Leyla took photos and video for us. The views of landscapes and mountains was stunning. In the highest village we had delisious lunch. If you travel to Baku, please visit Khinalig. This place definitely deserves your time.

Great trip and guide - During this trip we went to Candy Cane Mountain all the way to Khinaliq village near the Russian border. Leyla was a very knowledgeable and hospitable guide who went above and beyond to ensure the entire trip went as smoothly and enjoyable as possible.

Heavy Snow, Great Tour - Leyla Made It Easy - We did the Guba & Khinalig & Candy Mountains Group Tour yesterday, and it was snowing so hard that for a moment we honestly thought we'd accidentally booked an "Arctic expedition" instead. Massive credit to our guide Leyla - she was brilliant. Even with the weather making everything more challenging, she kept the group together, calm, and (most importantly) safe, without letting the day turn stressful or dull. That's not an easy thing to do. If you're thinking about doing this tour, go for it - and if you get Leyla, you're in really good hands. Highly recommended!

Nice views and tour but terrible experience - The tour is very interesting but unfortunately the weather wasn't good, a heavy snow started when we got Khinalug, the way to go up was completely white but with care the cars got the village, but it was very difficult on the way back, both cars had serious problems to driving through the snowed road and they both slippered on the road, one of them had no chains and the other one even with chains was difficult to manage. The drivers asked to walked down so many meters, about 20 or 30minuts trought the snow, we were really afraid as was getting dark and the way down were 2h driving on that terrible road. The forecast was that snow was coming theses days, it was not unexpected, no plan b at all to get down, the tour should be cancel on these conditions. Leyla, our guide was very kind, helpful and very professional all the time. Thanks Leyla! she explained all history and details.
