The Javid guide is young and nice, he is calm and unlike the others he did not force my hand so that I write positive about him. The scenery is superb especially the mountains in Tufandag. Very nice sunny day

The Gabala-Shamakhi-Tufandag-Nohur Lake-Waterfall tour was an incredible blend of nature, culture, and adventure. Every stop was stunning, especially the cable car ride at Tufandag and the serene beauty of Nohur Lake. We loved the boating at the lake too, though it is additionally charged but fun thing to do. A must-do trip for anyone visiting Azerbaijan!
