This is an excellent introduction trip to the highlights outside of Baku. The guide gave an excellent commentary and was very engaging. He answered all questions with enthusiasm and was more than willing to provide additional information. The sights were impressive and a complete contrast to Baku
Wonderful day

This was a nice trip, but bus was not comfortable. I wish more comfortable buses would be available for longer trips.

Took our most beautiful photos at this location. It was a long drive, just to see a section of the mountain, but worth it. Took the private tour, and were lucky so we could customise our tour and take out some locations we had already been to. Our guide even improvised and brought us to the lesser known Heydar Mosque, which is absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend a visit there. Guide was fast and fit, which helped alot going up Besh Barmag Mountain, that was a steep climb with a breathtaking view. pun intended. Thanks to his experience, our guide knew the best spot to view the pink lake, he directed the driver there despite the driver wanting to take a different route.
Great tour

We visited with guide Vusala and driver Mahmood. It's been a beautiful, unforgettable journey! Vusala is very easygoing, funny, professional and giving her whole soul, she lived this trip, told everything in detail, answered all the questions, and the highlight was the musical accompaniment! Mahmud the driver from God, drove to beautiful places with the breeze, which also added positive emotions, not a trip, but a fairy tale!!! All highly recommended, you won't regret once

Average tour Drop off not done at same place as collection place - ended up standing in the street not knowing what was going on. Brought for lunch in a restaurant where clearly the guide was going to get tipped for by the place. Had to wait for at least an hour and Food wasn't even great. Likewise stopped at a shop “to buy cigarettes” if we wanted … nothing to do with the tour. Bus AC wasnt working and therefore full of flies and too hot Candy mountain nothing exceptional. Guide’s english wasnt great so hard to understand. No speaker in the bus so couldnt hear what he was saying when the window was opened anyway. Five fingers rock and pink lake ok to see Not worth the price in mi view
Best day in Azerbaijan - highly recommend!!

We took the tour in October. It took around 8 hours and covered four amazing destinations and a nice lunch at a restaurant. Highly recommend! For us, it was the best day during our one week vacation in Azerbaijan.
