Excellent Interesting and One of a Kind Tour - Excellent tour with one of a kind experience with a very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous guide, Leila. Leila was very instrumental making the tour interesting, the drive was long and adventurous along with being picturesque. The lunch with the local family was the highlight, learned a lot about their culture and traditions. The drive back got more interesting when the road got covered with clouds, highly, highly, highly recommended and make sure you ask for Leila as your guide.

Shahdag and Quba Tour - We booked 1 day Quba and Shaedag Tour. Everything was planned superbly. From the chosen locations to the food and then the time management. Ulya was our tour guide, her deep knowledge of Azerbaijan history helped us to understand more about Azerbaijan. She was a best Tour Guide you could ask for as she took care of us and made sure that we have the best experience.

Memorable tour to Xınalıq village - Amazing tour to the remote Xınalıq village! Long ride but a few stops on the way made it quite interesting. View in the mountains is out of the world. Our guide Ulya is kind and caring. She took us to a traditional meal in a village home and explained a lot of artefacts in the house. A memorable trip that I would recommend for anyone interested in going off the beaten track.

Incredible Guba & Khinalug Tour with Leyla! - I recently took the Guba & Khinalug Group Tour and it was fantastic. Leyla, our guide, was amazing with her deep knowledge and engaging stories. The landscapes were breathtaking, especially the remote Khinalug village. Visiting the unique Jewish settlement in the mountains and enjoying traditional Azerbaijani cuisine at a local's house were highlights. The tour was well-organized and offered a perfect mix of nature, history, and culture. Highly recommend! Thank You Rashad for helping us book the tour and Thanks Leyla for this amazing Memory.

Good experience - I would surely recommend this tour. Despite the tight schedule and long drive thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere and scenery were breathtaking, making the journey worthwhile. Our tour guide, Layla, truly made the day special. She was cheerful, helpful, and incredibly informative, sharing insightful details that enriched our trip. The highlight of the tour was definitely the homemade lunch—delicious and satisfying. Layla's infectious laughter and positive energy added a delightful touch to the entire experience. Overall, it was a memorable tour, and I’m glad we had the chance to enjoy it.

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.
