A long but amazing day trip experience - My sisters and I went on the Gabala day trip tour this week, and had a fabulous time. We had purchased a private tour, which meant we had a beautiful van to ourselves. We also got to customize the trip to include a visit to the lavender farm (which was near the end of its season). Communication leading up to the trip (and throughout) was great- Narmin connected with us leading up the event with all the important details and throughout the day, would send check ins to ensure the trip was smooth and was successful. She was super nice and thoughtful! ❤️ The van was air conditioned and had seats facing one another so we could stretch out our legs for the long trip. We love a good tour and frequently say that our driver/guide team can make or break the experience. We had a great duo in our driver Anar, and our tour guide, Jamal. This team was thoughtful as well beginning in the morning with buying us lots of bottled water, playing fun music when we needed, or allowing for lots of quiet rest time throughout the day as well. Throughout the day, Anar’s driving was so safe and smooth- we made great time from stop to stop. What was an unexpected delight was the level of botanical knowledge he shared with us throughout the day as he recognized different plants and shared the uses for them. Jamal was super knowledgeable and would share just enough to provide context and intrigue for the places we went, but then would let us explore on our own or take any pictures we wanted. We were not rushed, and although we had many stops along our 14-hour day, we felt like we got enough time at each site. Like most of these tours, every one can be slightly different from the last— as in, you may see some new sights if you choose to go on the tour at different times. Altogether, we had 7 stops ranging from architectural beauties (a mosque and 600 year old house ) to natural wonders (the lake, the waterfall, the mountains). The restaurant our guide chose was tucked into the mountains and had a beautiful ambiance and a large menu— everything was delicious. I’d definitely recommend this tour and this team for your vacation! Note to future travelers: You will do a bit of walking on this trip - some stairs, and will have exposure to full sun so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and sunscreen. If you do go to Tufandag and plan to take the ski lift, try the one on the right for a higher viewpoint. You’ll have a beautiful time too :)

Guided Azerbaijan day tour - Recently we visited this region with Guided Azerbaijan lead by Lamia and accompanied by guide Youssef. It was one of a kind experience just before setting in of winter. The flora and fauna was amazing along with the cable cars. Food was delicious. No words to describe the place. Few photographs make it evident. We must say all the planning was fit to make it a relaxed yet informative tour.

Great experience - I contacted Lamia from Guided Azerbaijan one month before arriving. She answered all our questions patiently and we settled all the details, including the airport transfer. The driver was very polite and flexibile, whereas our guide Tahir was one of the best I have encountered. Young, energetic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. We were unlucky to arrive in the mountains on a cloudy day and so we could not enjoy the marvellous views fully, but it was a great experience.

Fun activities - Tour was amazing and much recommended if you are active and physical loving person. It is quite a drive from Baku it's around 3 and a half hours so it is much recommended that you stay there for a night at least. Overall it's fun.

Loved Baku, Thanks to Tahir - We loved our tour to Gabala. Drive from Baku is 4 hours with scenic beauty kept us busy. Gabala is a beautiful place, worth the drive!! Especially grateful to Tahir. He is an amazing guide, very helpful, extremely warm and very knowledgeable. He is extremely calm and responds to every question or need. He is now our friend in Baku ♥️

Amazing experience with Tahir! - Our adventure with Guided Azerbaijan at the Tufandag Mountain Resort was an experience to remember! Tahir, our designated tour guide from the company, was the highlight of our trip. His friendly nature and extensive knowledge about the resort made our tour both educational and incredibly fun. Tahir's approachable personality and great sense of humor created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It felt more like exploring with a local friend than a formal tour, which added a unique and personal touch to our experience. The team at Guided Azerbaijan really impressed us with their attention to detail. From comfortable transportation to offering tasty local treats, they ensured that every aspect of our trip was taken care of. Their dedication to our comfort and enjoyment was evident throughout the tour. Choosing Guided Azerbaijan and having Tahir as our tour guide was the best decision we made for our visit to Tufandag Mountain Resort. The memories and experiences we gained from this trip are invaluable. A big thank you to Tahir and the team for making our adventure truly special!

Amazing full day trip to Gabala - This is our second trip with Guided Azerbaijan and they have done another amazing job. Once you book the tour, pretty much everything is taken care of, for you. We were able to see much of the Azerbaijan with an amazing guide Tahir in a short amount of time. We highly recommend this full day trip to Gabala with Guided Azerbaijan team👍🏽

It was an amazing adventure!! - I visited gabala during July and my favourite part of this tour was the cable car ride and the biking up the hill! It was such an amazing experience. Great kudos for Lamia and Naira from guided azerbaijan for organising and coordinating this trip.
