Review of Baku’s Shahdag, Guba, Laza, and Candy Cane Mountains day tour, with practical tips on transport, costs, stops, and value.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 815 reviews · from $39

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.…”
