Great mountains, beautiful view - I recently took a tour to Guba and Shahdag, and it was one of the highlights of my trip, thanks to our amazing guide, Vusal.
From the very beginning, Vusal impressed us with his deep knowledge of the region's history and culture. He shared fascinating stories about Guba, including its rich traditions and beautiful landscapes. His passion for his homeland truly shone through, making every moment of the tour engaging.
The scenery in Guba was breathtaking! Vusal took us to stunning viewpoints and hidden gems, ensuring we captured the best photos and had the most memorable experiences. He was also great at adapting the tour to fit our interests, which made it feel personalized and special.
At Shahdag, Vusal provided excellent recommendations for activities and explained the significance of the area’s natural beauty. His enthusiasm for the outdoors was infectious, and it encouraged us to embrace every moment, whether we were hiking or simply enjoying the stunning views.
Moreover, Vusal was incredibly attentive to our needs, making sure everyone felt included and comfortable throughout the tour. His friendly demeanor and sense of humor created a relaxed atmosphere that made the day even more enjoyable.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Guba and Shahdag tour, especially with Vusal as your guide. His expertise and warmth made this adventure truly unforgettable!

Great Shahdag tour - I went to Shahdag a few days ago. The amazing candy mountains were surprised me. The mountain "Besh barmak" was very interesting. Guba, which is famous with its apples is very clean city. By the way, we stopped on the way for a few minutes and picked apples off the trees and ran away! It wasvery funny😁. Nazperi is very cute and talks all way 😅she said that she got this talent from her daddy. It was lovely friendly atmosphere in our group and we chatted as if we had known each other for ages. After visiting the forest and lunch we drove to Caucasian Jerusalem, saw the beautiful synagogue from 1888. Then we went to Shakhdag. And here we saw a completely different picture. It's hard to imagine that Azerbaijan is so beautiful and diverse! We spent 2 hours there and returned to Baku with positive emotions!

Mesmerizing corners - Getting emotional, huh. Stopped at a nice restaurant where prices are inexpensive. I particularly liked the dolma. I'll revisit and choose this Vacation Package if I take the Vacation Package in the future.
