Review of the Baku to Khinaliq day trip, with mountain views, Red Town, Candy Cane Mountains, canyon roads, and homemade Azerbaijani lunch.

“This was a 10-hour trip where most of it, say 90%, was driving. The view at the top of the trip was nice but not worth the driving for me. The trip operator did not provide a pickup time the day before as written in the Viator confirmation email; we received it just before the pickup. The operator's phone number is no longer in service and they did not respond to a message I sent through Viator. The provided lunch wasn't served until 4:00 pm and 4 of the participants were charged for it, a surprise to them. This was not the trip I expected based on other reviews. I…”

“Great tour. Communication was super right from the get go. Met our guide outside our hotel with the driver. Naira our guide was really good and kept us informed along the way and took us to some of the most beautiful sites. Taking off one star because we felt like the driving was a bit rash on the way back and there was no defined stop or set time for lunch.”
