Prior to going on this tour, the communication with Guided Azerbaijan was excellent and they were very helpful with organising it. The tour itself was fantastic. Never dull and provided with plenty of background information. Started with a 2 hour drive to Quba with a visit to the red town, carpet factory and a mosque. The red town is architecturally fascinating whilst seeing the work and dedication carried out in the carpet factory was also very interesting. This was followed by an absolutely astonishing drive to Khinalig. The pictures provided by others look fantastic, but they still do not do it justice. Khinalig itself is a beautifully set village. On the way back we had delicious Qutabs in the forest. Elnara, our guide, was great throughout. Knowledgeable, friendly and ensured that we were comfortable and happy throughout. We were asked if we wanted to stop at places on the way, and Elnara arranged tea with one of the local farmers in Khinalig which was an unforgettable experience. Whilst a long day, it goes quickly. Highly recommended! Stumodernart September 20, 2022

A refreshing tour ; clear blue sky with mountain covered snow . Eagles spotted at the valley. Our guide knowledge as always and we had a skilled and experienced driver. Breathtaking mountainous view . If you appreciate the mountains ; it’s a must do trip. Heavenly February 5, 2023

Enjoyed our tour with Nurlan as our guide and Jamal as our driver. We learned a lot about the country and the area we visited. Jamal did a great job driving up to Khinalig and back. One drawback was that the back windows of the car were heavily tinted. Difficult to see the scenery without rolling down the windows which were manual and not easy to roll. In Khinalig, we climbed up to the top of the hill with the cell tower — great views, but the guide should have stayed near us as we climbed up and down since both of us are in our 70s. Enjoyed seeing the mosque and Jewish area of Guba. We elected not to go to the Genocide Memorial as it was getting late in the day. Lynne H July 4, 2023

It was a wonderful place to visit and the village is the highest residential area in azerbaijan. The route to get there is just so scenic surrounded by picturesque mountains. Thanks Lamia from Guided Azerbaijan for suggesting me this place to visit and organising my trip. It was quite an interesting experience!! Roshan M August 17, 2023

We had a private family full day Guba and Khinalig tour organised by Guided Azerbaijan. The driver and guide arrived on time to our hotel. The minivan was nice, clean and comfortable. We saw many interesting sights such as Khinalig Village 2350m, Qacrash forest, Juma mosque, Carpet Weaving factory, Guba Memorial Complex and Red Village - Jewish Settlement. Thanks for organising this great tour! I really recommend the tour with Guided Azerbaijan! Monika72 August 26, 2023

Nice trip. Majestic landscapes of Caucasus! The Khinalig village left very dual feeling of being unique place but very neglected one... Thank you Guided Azerbaijan for patience arranging and rearranging our trip! Due to some reasons our schedule changed several times, but the guys managed to rearrange things even the very last minute. Inga B October 31, 2023

We did a trip to Gabala and a few other places on our first day in Baku. Our tour guide was Murad and he was so good and gave us such an incredible experience that we decided to book again for the next day to see the Fire Temple and the Fire Mountain with a few other stops along route. Fuad was our guide for that day and he was also superb. We learnt so much about Azerbaijan, its history and its culture that we simply would not have learnt had we had undertaken a more commercial trip. We were taken to authentic places and escaped the tourist traps. Honestly their service and our trips with them made our entire holiday. 5*'s are not enough for these guys. Thank you so much. Will definitely recommend to everyone I hear of going to Baku in the future! philippa089 November 12, 2018

I booked a private trip to go to Gabala (including lake and waterfall) and Sheki with two of my friends. Our guide was Murad and he was excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable and very fun to take a tour with. The tour was brilliant value for money, Murad took us to local food places that we would never have otherwise found and when I left my phone in his car he drove all the way back to my hotel to return it to me! We booked another trip to the mud volcanoes and to Gobustan and this time we went with Fuad. Fuad and Murad are brothers and are both amazing. They are such interesting and fun tour guides who really know a lot. They took us for amazing food that we would not have found ourselves. They both really went above and beyond and gave us a brilliant tour. If you want to see Baku or any of the rest of Azerbaijan book with these guys - they are the best! KatyH333 November 28, 2018

The organizer Fuad has made sure, that we got all information regarding the trip well in advance. The driver and the tour guide Nahira have picked us up with a comfortable van at the hotel. Nihara has answered all of our questions patiently and has helped us understanding the people and the town. After the trip we were droped of at a location in Baku which we had chosen. We were very happy the tour. Jürgen S. May 5, 2019

We covered Gobustan Museam, Rock Mountain, Mud Volcanos, Bibiheybat mosque, fire temple & fire mountain. Also did a short pit stop at the Haydar Aliyev centre for photos. We had only 1 day to go out of the city, and this private tour covered all the main attractions in one day and was very smoothly organised. Our guide Ayten was amazing - friendly and very knowledgable. If possible, request for Ayten to be your tour guide. Losini G May 6, 2019
