Additional Information

This 10 Hour tour is designed for visitors who are interested nature and one of the oldest cities of Azerbaijan. Our Guides contacting guests before tour and you will be picked up from your hotel and go to Quba City. Amid sheepy Caucasian foothills and dramatic canyons lie Azerbaijan’s grandest mountain panoramas and its most fascinating villages. The fabled ancient village of Xnalq is an unforgettable rustic getaway but the beautiful route from Quba is an attraction in itself. The road starts out through woodlands past a string of barbecue cafes, then navigates several canyons before emerging above the tree line into an almost deserted upland valley. By some definitions Xnalq (2335m) is Europe’s highest village. During the winter season, Khinalig village can be excluded from the tour if there will be heavily snowing or raining. Instead of Khinalig village, Shahdag Mountain Resort in Qusar region will be visited

Excellent - We, a family of three, had a good time with our tour guide, Ramil, on our trip to Guba and Khinaliq, Azerbaijan. This was a tour package with other guests. This place is worth visiting. It's a beautiful mountain village.

A very enjoyable day trip - Good trip. The scenery was amazing and worth the drive. We had 2 guides, 1 for English speakers (Leyla) and the other for the Russian speakers. (Sorry can’t remember his name) both were very helpful and informative and happy to answer any questions and provide information. They both did a good job and the combination was seamless and had no impact on anyone. Well done to both for achieving this. Would recommend this trip

Great tour to Khinaliq and around - Our tour to Khinaliq has been great despite the long distances the scenery was amazing, especially in the Candy Cane Mountains not to mention the impressive landscapes on the way to Khinaliq. Highly recommend if you are into nature. Our guide, Leila, was amazing. She is super friendly and genuinely a very nice person, always willing to help. Lunch in the village was great as well. Comparing to the Gobustan Tour, this one was much nicer.

Gubbio, perfection and rationality - Gubbio is a city to cross far and wide to admire its perfection: walking along the uphill streets, touching the side neighborhoods and its historic center with the large terrace of the Piazza Grande between Palazzo dei Consoli and Palazzo Pretorio. To better grasp its beauty and perfection, go up to Sant'Ubaldo, on the hill, the tiring climb on foot will be rewarded (there is however a cable car). In Gubbio you eat divinely but for this I refer you to the specific review given.

Not as advertised ! - The description of the tour online was different that how the tour actually was. Online at time of booking operator shows multiple stops which is false and misleading advertising. The tour was advertised for 10 hours starting at 9 am and with stops in Guba City , Qechresh village, khinalig village and other. The guide picked us up at 10 am , we can tell he was very tired or sleepy. We got in the van and for the first hour he didn't say anything but slept until driver stopped at supermarket for toilet stop. Thats when the guide spoke to us and asked if we want to go into store to get snacks which we did. Then we drove all day and passed a forrest which he did mention and stop us again at a restroom stop, great we now have seen two restrooms stops and a store to purchase souvenirs. few hours later we arrive at Kinalig village which was indeed beautiful. It was the only stop and the only thing we did. we passed Guba city and no stops . we even asked can we stop for pictures or see and were told we will stop later. well later came and went and the full day tour that was supposed to include multiple stops/visits was only one. I would have not given a negative review had the description of the tour stated this is a 10 hour tour for one stop at one village. But i want to have other travelers aware that the tour operator inflated the description of this tour. False advertising is unethical. The guide i believe was doing what he thought was the tour offered, but were i believe the problem is with the office that advertised the tour with multiple stops and things to see which is not the case. As an avid traveler i like to support the local operators but also will call out when the descriptions of the tour is inflated online in order to get guests to book the tour. This tour should be revised online to show as 8-9 hour tour with a visit to Khinalig village with lunch. All other stops are bathroom breaks and the other village and quba city are only pass by see from your window in car, not a stop as advertised. Recommend the operator to re-phrase the tour description so guests are not anticipating multiple sights to see on the full day tour. Otherwise the stop in Kinalig was lovely!

Poorly planned and executed. Please avoid. - Very disappointed. Choose only if you want to spend 10 hours in car looking outside through closed window. Out of total 11 hours of trip, we spent 10 hours in car and only 1 hour in khinalique village. There were no stops for any other spots they have mentioned in itinerary. Tour guide barely guides or give insight into anything. They even did not stop for any beautiful spot to spend some time. Please avoid.

Incomprehensibly unprofessional behavior by tour company - Actually, this is not a review of the tour, this is a review of NOT BEING TAKEN on the tour. I booked the tour and (very) late that same night (at 11.30 pm!) was contacted by a company representative, to explain that the tour was not available for the day booked, but the day after. I agreed with the new date, and was reassured that the new pickup time would be provided the day before the tour. Well, it was not, and not only that, they ignored my email asking about the new pickup details. The tour day was supposed to be today, they simply ignored me, and thanks to them I no longer have the time to book the tour with any other company. Highly unprofessional and disappointing. Luckily I did not have to pay for the online booking, because I cannot imagine having to deal with such irresponsible people on getting a refund.
