Beautiful, Peaceful & Scenic Tour with Heritage Tours Baku - With my good experience with Heritage Tours, I booked this tour with them directly. The team on WhatsApp (+994 77 568 1167) is very active & supportive. They arranged to pick me up from my hotel in Old town and we started the tour towards the beautiful town of Shamakhi. We had the first stop at the Jummah Mosque for its great architectural appearance. However, if you have visited other Arab countries this mosque may not impress you much. After a science drive we arrived at Nohur Lake for a lunch at leisure by the lake. Lunch was delicious with vegetarian options and tea. Atmosphere was serene. After lunch was fun time at the Tufandag Mountain Resort. Beautiful Cable Car rides and amazing views from top and enjoy a stroll in the forest. We didn’t go to Seven Beauties Waterfall as the guide said its closed (however we heard other tours were going there). I don’t regret it as it was compensated by a visit to Lavendar Farm near Gabala. It was the start of the spring, so the farm was open was visit, where we saw, flowers were starting to bloom, a sight to amaze! Our guide, Russel, was quite tired as we had almost 3 hours' drive back to Baku town!!

Think Baku Think Baku Heritage Tours - I loved Baku and if life gives Chance would want to be here again. But trust me it was this smooth only because of thoughtful private tour planning and bookings by Ms.Nourana and Mr. Cehyun who took us in and around Baku with smile on his and always being kind and polite. Truly had a wonderful experience. If u planning Baku next connect with them. They’re best 😊

Excellent day trip experience - Great trip excellent places. Weather was amazing so had great fun and photos. Nabat was also a great guide, a jolly one with whom we all enjoyed. She just needs to be a little more strict about timelines and tell people strictly how much time to spend in a particular location. People waste a lot of time in one place and then reach late to ski resorts which is a problem since they get closed early.

Almost perfect - The tour was really good. We got to cover all the options in time mentioned. Our guide and vehicle was on time and very helpful with everything. Their knowledge about the places, behaviour, and the way they treated everyone - waited if someone got late or wanted to explore more. It was a near perfect tour. Special thanks to our guides - Arzu and Ulkar for one of the best experience.
