If you're a fan of wilderness and mountains, the Khinalug is for you. Awesome weather, snow-covered peaks, it's just amazing. You'll get the glimpse of life in the remote north of Azerbaijan deep in the Caucasian range. Shout-out to Asim for being such an informative and friendly guide, just loved it. I'd defiantly recommend this trip to anyone who prefers wilderness over infrastructure.We had one day trip to Gabala with Smile tour. It was a beautiful place. Our guide Elnara was really helpful, well versed and friendly. It was a good trip. I wish to recommend my friends to go with Smile tour if they come visit Gabala.

I booked 3 tours with them after reading the reviews. The girl at the office wrote down the meeting point for the 3 tours was Axundov Garden. She said she will text us with meeting details. She never did. We cabled it to the park the next morning and met her and the tour group there. That night, we did not get a text telling us where to meet, so we cabled it to the same park. We got there early and no one showed up, so we called the office. Same girl answered and said the van couldn't get there because the roads were closed and she just changed the meeting point minutes ago. We knew she was lying because we just cabled it there and that was our meeting point the day before. When we finally found the new meeting point, the van was fully loaded and the group had to wait 25 min for us. We went back to the office after the tour to demand a refund for the following day tour. The girl lied about the road closure. She lied after changing the location minutes before because everybody else was already there waiting. She lied about saying her colleague texted me. She lied about being the manager because her colleague obviously had more senority. The only truth they said was," if you don't want to do the tour, then we can cancel it. We don't need your money, we have enough tourists!" For this reason, they are not professional.The trip was planned and executed perfectly. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped in the old city. Our guide was very informative and we had a great lunch in one of the hunter's home for 20 Manat. Night tour was free if we take any tour from them. Highly recommend them
