We visited to Guba first,we stopped in local market and in was amazing experince to meet local peoples in local bazar.Then we visited to carpet making place,Juma mosque and after that forwarded to Khinalig.The mountains was great unbeliveable. Thats why i want to suggest to all tourist that even if you have only two days-you have to go outside of baku to regions.Our guide was professional and helped us a lot to understand tradition so in my opinion it is very important to know what is behind,what is history of that places.Our car was comfortable and driver professional.Thank you guys for this amazing experience! reccomend to all! albert n December 15, 2019
