We had a memorable experience on this tour. I will definitely recommend this tour with my other friends and families. We have discovered a lot of beautiful places in Quba and as expected, Azerbaijan is one of the beautiful countries in the world. Our tour guide Miss Aisha (2) is very cool and smart. We learned a lot from her and we never had a dull moment with her. She’s so fun to be with. This tour is very worth it. More power to the rest of the team. You’re doing a great job guys. Keep it up 😇

It's a must do tour with a breath taking views. I was lucky to have Aysha 2 as a tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and possitive person and made our trip unforgettable! Thank you!

The trip booked was for English but I was paired with a guide who spoke only Russian. The restaurant we stopped at was too expensive for the food we got. The scenery was good. The drive is the most enjoyable bit. Regular stops for photography.

I've got mixed feelings about this tour. That's why this review will be divided into two parts. 1. This tour consists mainly of places, where you can enjoy the views. If I had to rate the sights alone it'd definitely give it a top score. We stopped at places, where the views were breathtaking (at least for me :). Be it the Candy Mountains with different coloured hills or the "regular" mountains - all of it was simply stunning. I was a bit disappointed with the Khinalig village though, since it was advertised as almost 5000 years old and it looked like any other Eastern European countryside from 1950's. But I'll have to say that the views you can enjoy from there are pretty spectacular. 2. As for the "technical" part of the trip. Well, I hate to admit it, but it didn't live up to the standard the other tours presented. When talking in English, the tour guide spoke very quickly and pretty quiet, so it was hard to catch what she was saying. But even if she spoke perfectly, there wasn't a lot of information we were given on the way. She did interact a lot more with Russian-speaking tourist, which might be due to the fact that (from what I gathered) Russian language is very similar to local language, so it's much easier for locals to communicate this way. Maybe I've been spoiled by other tour guides that were constantly giving us information, but I was expecting a little bit more... Also, I need to mention that the driver had moments, where his driving wasn't up to any standard. I've seen a lot of people drive recklessly in Azerbaijan, but when you're responsible for a group of people on board, you might want to avoid manoeuvres like overtaking just before a blind corner or tailgating. One last thing: I don't know if they do hotel pick-ups, but if your starting point is Double Gates, try to be there a few minutes earlier as they've got several tours departing at the same time and it might get chaotic sometimes. I would recommend just approaching someone over there and saying the company name. Even if you get a wrong person they will likely point you in a proper direction.

Amazing day. Absolutely stunning landscape, and a lot of new discovery at the Khinaliq village. Our guide Magsud was so nice and fun, and taught a lot. I absolutely recommend.

Nice inside scoop of the different regions of Azerbaijan. Sabuhi was very eager to share all information regarding all aspects of the tour. Highlights were the Candy Cane Mountains and the road to Khinaliq.

Sabuhi is a great tour guide, we had an amazing time, the Candy Mountains was really cool. Through the multiple stops we got to experience the many faces of Azerbaijan.

Sabuhi was our tour guide , The history of Khinalig was interesting , the road was ok, candy cane mointion was really cool.

The mountains are amazing! It snowed the day before we went there and everywhere was covered in snow. Simply stunning. Definitely worth going again.

Sabuhi was our tour guide, we enjoyed gutab , the mountions of Khinalig . We would like to visit this place again. The village has different culture.

Sabuhi was our tour guide. We enjoyed the view , especially mountains and the village of Khinalig as well. Thank you Smie group

It was an amazing experience to tour with Smile. Thank you for your amazing service. Smile tour company is recommended to everyone.

Had a trip with our Mr sabuhi tour guide. He is really kind and helpful person and showed all the places specially the candy mountain with brief explanation.. Highly recommend to go with him

Very good trip! Had so much experience in this ancient village. The guide Inara was amazing and so friendly😊

The guide explains things in an engaging and understandable way. The landscapes are vibrant, and the captivating nature, especially when the weather is sunny. The excursion is well-planned with sufficient stops and breaks, so you can experience everything everywhere.

The tour was perfect everithing was accurate,from the pickup to the end because we had a passionate, knowledge, kind and management guide, her name is Inara. She will have a great future!

Amazing trip to Guba (aka Quba) & Khinaliq village. We booked it from Smile tours in Baku our guide was Optimus Prime. We were picked up from our hotel in Baku at 8:30am and dropped off by 9pm, vehicle that we were travelling was comfy (not luxurious but ok for a 160 kms back and forth drive). We didn’t witnessed snowfall however there was snow already, some parts of Khinaliq and Quba were covered in snow. Guide was knowledgeable and provided info on places that we went. Restaurant that we halted for lunch was good (you would love it if you are a non-vegetarian anyways there were vegan options too) overall day spent well along with mesmerising views!

I had an amazing experience with smile tours to QUBA with my family. We captured lots of memorable moments on multiple small stops on our way to the very end. We Were thoroughly entertained and had the best time ever.

I enjoyed the trip :) had good fun with the group. Had amazing view on the way! Didn’t get to see the snowy forest though :( the snow melted fast!

We had wonders memories with best tour partner in Baku that’s smile. Our tour guide was Inara and she’s so humble and knowledgeable. Must visit place is Quba during winters.
