“Started off abit shaky as because of the F1 blockage, tour guide couldnt pick us up but they booked taxi for us and paid for it which was nice. They also compensated with free city tour which was even better. Ali- our driver did his best to make sure we enjoy as he made sure we were all comfortable. Our tour guide (cant remember his name) was the most knowledgeable ive seen, he knew exactly what information to give out and when to give out. Overall, i want to thank the operator on the phone for giving out clear instructions, our tour guide who was the best, and our driver…”

Review of the $39 Shamakhi and Gabala tour from Baku, covering mosques, mountains, waterfalls, lunch, transport, timing, and value.

“Really disappointing. A very long ride from 8:30am to 11pm. Alot of milage for very few uninteresting stops. The stops a old metal platform unsafe, to take pictures. The Mosque was nice, lunch was decent, the falls was a 30 min in and out experience. And then the lake, a old soviet run downed park, where it was more a people watching experience. And the lift ride, just ok. And lastly the driver. There is only one way to describe.. Unsafe...on cell, watching soap opera on tv while driving, dangerous manoeuvers following too close, slamming on breaks for a car behind, following too close a hazardous material truck to pass.…”
