Guba and Khinalig is absolutely stunning, and we're so glad we went with Guided Azerbaijan. Our guide, Emin was the best - very friendly and energetic and had plenty of stories for us. He tried his utmost best to make sure we were comfortable and had the best experience. We also did the Gobustan tour with them, we wish we could spend more time together next time! I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a good time in Azerbaijan! S. T November 16, 2019
Stunning views of beautiful khinalig - if you only have time for one day trip from Baku. I did many tours with this company and loved the all of them. But this one it was so different one. I really recommend this to any traveller who want to visit day trip to outside of Baku. You will see cultural things, historical sites, mosque, weaving factory as well. All in one in a day!
