Spectacular Caucasus - Beautiful scenery, spectacular landscapes, good lunch choice in the forest and excellent food, very nice guide ( Namig. ) who provided lots of information about the objectives and in general about Azerbaidjan.

Not quite taking the high road - Our tour to Khinaliq did not go as expected. Because of heavy snowfall, the mountain road was closed. Nevertheless, we had an enjoyable day, with lovely sunny weather. The Candy Cane Mountain glowed with colours, the 5 Finger Mountain jutted up impressively, and the alternate lunch location in a forest glade was good. Special thanks to tour guide Seb, who was chatty, informative and adaptable. He helped some of our group who'd planned to stay in Khinaliq tomake alterate plans. We checked out some alternate sights in Quba (Red Village and Juma Mosque) before driving back to Baku a couple of hours early (enabling a first hand experience of Baku's Rush Hour traffic). Kudos to our calm and collected driver.

Worth a Visit! - Candy Cane Mountain was serene. The trip to Guba Khinalig took a few hours. Travelling in April is cold--quite windy too! Bring warm clothes and wear comfy shoes. One of World Heritage Sites, Guba Khinalug is worth the trip--with beautiful snow-capped mountains and an equally peaceful village. The road was adventurous--so brace your heart!

Windy, but Worth-It Trip! - Candy Cane Mountain was serene. The trip to Guba Khinalug took a few hours. Travelling in April is cold--quite windy too! Bring warm clothes and wear comfy shoes. It was worth the long journey. The snow-capped mountains and peaceful village were beautiful! One of World Heritage Sites, Guba Khinalug is indeed worth visiting.

Extremely interesting tour that everyone should do. - The Candy Cane Mountains are a good thing to see, Guba is no too impressive, but all that get compensated by an extremely enjoyable drive through the snowy mountains to Khinalig. It was great, with astonishing views and great landscapes.

Too long too less - An endless ten-hour round trip with a short stop at the beautiful Candy Cane Mountans and lunch in an interesting village on the Caucasus. I wouldn't do this long tour again for just two attractions

Disappointing experience - I had done two more tours with this agency and was quite satisfied. Unfortunately the guide for this excursion was a real disappointment. Samir simply accompanied us to two of the four locations on the tour. He gave no explanation of the places we would visit. He spoke on the phone throughout the trip and the driver answered the phone twice while driving. Too bad because the places are interesting.

Bad experience - Cancel without notice. I only knew when i reached out the evening before departure, when i complained about the lack of notice the tour agent even called and scolded me back said they are planning to inform. The guy was so rude. No apology was given for plan destroyed.
