The trip through the countryside of Azerbaijan is breathtaking in its beauty. Highly recommend going for this during good weather. The tour was organized well, and the cars used were comfortable. Toghrul and Leyla have been amazing tour guides, extremely knowledgable about Gabala and Shekhi.

In April 24 My wife and I went on an excursion from Shamakhi to Gabala. Azerbaijan, with its diversity of colors, immersed us in a nature of extraordinary beauty permeated with historical context. It was interesting to touch the history of Azerbaijan by visiting one of the most ancient mosques in the Caucasus, the Juma Mosque, built during the reign of the Shirvanshah dynasty in 743. Due to the fact that the city of Shamakhi is located in a seismically active zone, the mosque was repeatedly damaged by earthquakes; in its current form it was opened in 2013. Then there was lunch outdoors in the Topchi park, the traditional national cuisine of Azerbaijan did not disappoint, everything was quite tasty! The next destination was the “7 Beauties” waterfall, so named because of the cascading arrangement of the mountain river in various parts of the mountain. For lovers of beautiful photos, there will be a place to practice. After which we will go to Lake Nokhur-Gol. Stunning views that combine mountain landscapes, smooth water and a peaceful sky create a complete feeling of unity with nature. The final stage of our trip, according to the program, was a visit to the Tufandag cable car, 4 km away. from the city of Gabala, in fact it is a ski resort, which in the off-season provides lift services for a panoramic view of the area from a height of 1600m. In general, we were satisfied with the trip, our guide Togrul played an important role in this, he was extremely courteous and attentive, for which special thanks to him!
Fabulous

We had the best trip ever..only due to Toghrul. He kept us and the kids entertained throughout the trip. There was never a dull moment because of him. Trivia, fun facts and his jokes ensured the journey was full of laughter. History was explained in a very detailed manner. Showed us lot of nice places along the way and was accommodative. We wanted him for our other trips as well but were unfortunate as the agency had other clients for him to attend. Request for him..he’s the best!!! Overall a great trip!
The excursion was great! Our guides - Toghrul and Agil are simply the best😍

We went on an excursion with our parents (they flew to visit me in Baku and I organized a recreation program for us). I really enjoyed the tour! We had a group of Russian and English speakers, so there were 2 wonderful guides - Togrul and Agil 👍 The guys are very cool, incredibly energetic, funny, interesting! They told us a lot about both the excursion and about Azerbaijan in general, and answered any questions in general. I was positive all day! The excursion was long, 14 hours for everything, and there was a lot of time on the road, so if it weren’t for our cheerful and active guides, the road would have felt harder and longer. The places themselves were naturally beautiful; I recommend them to diversify your holiday in Azerbaijan;) We sincerely thank the entire Togrul and Agil family for the wonderful time spent! During the excursion they became like family ;) and created an atmosphere in the group as if we had all known each other for a long time! Thank you very much!💛💛💛
