AZERBAIJAN · KHINALIQ MOUNTAIN VILLAGE TOURS
15 reviewed

It is a long day from Baku and worth every hour. Compared below: which tours include the homemade lunch in a village house, which stop at the Candy Cane hills on the way, and what each costs.

“Great tour. Communication was super right from the get go. Met our guide outside our hotel with the driver.

We did not visit Quba. 15 additional AZN were asked for lunch whereas it was written 12 AZN on the booking.
