Our 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

Definitely 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.

Interesting 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...

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
