Fun in the Mountains...on the Caspian Coast...

5.00This tour was definitely well planned and built for fun....the highlights are definitely the Candy Cane Mountains and the main attraction without a doubt was the Besh Bermak Mountain with stunning views of the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea simultaneously....we saw eagles just flying by like airplanes....Namik was a really great guide he is very knowledgeable but most importantly he was always keen on making us having fun even during the rides between stops we played trivia and had a blast...our driver Mahmoud had a difficult and challenging task of driving off road and penetrating the Baku traffic and he did it with grace and efficiency....I had a lovely time....

5.00Our tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable about the different places we went. The candycane mountain and the mosque were beautiful places to see.
Loved it - but coordinate tours to prevent overlap of sites

4.00Definitely worth it - Pink lake better than I thought it would be, a few flights of steps for Besh Barnag but again worth it (tea and treats at the top!), and the Candy Mountains were like something out of this world! Only downside is it included the Bibiheybat Mosque, which we visited on a different tour, so we had to wait around.

5.00Interesting tour with Emil that led to Pink lake, Besh Barmag Mountain, which was challenging because of strong wind and snowfall. Luckily the Candy Mountains were not covered and offered their interesting color mix.
Excellent tour highly...

5.00This 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
