- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The trip went very well. I liked the historical sites and beautiful views in Shamakhi. I was impressed by the nature in Gabala, especially the mountains and Lake Nohur. Tufandag was a special treat: the cable car offers a stunning view of the mountains and the entire valley. The tour was comfortable, and the guide explained everything clearly. The route was well planned, with enough time for rest and photos. The tour left a very pleasant impression — I recommend it.
