Khizi Candy Mountains
Gachrash forest is a pretty, all green, with cool air true escape from urban stress and rush. It is the favorite place of nature lovers. From here a magnificent view of the Shahdag and Bazarduzu mountains opens and looks like a stone's throw. Wide green and colourful fields are followed by the forest. Nearby you can see some small bakeries making “qutabs”, traditional Azerbaijani street food. Лес Гячраш восхитительное весь в зелени настоящее убежище от городской суеты. Излюбленное место любителей природы. Отсюда открывается великолепный вид на горы Шахдаг и Базардюзю и смотрятся как рукой подать. Вслед за лесом зеленые и яркие поля. Здесь неподалеку готовят «гутабы»,местная уличная еда.

I visited Khinaliq village with “Smile” tour agency and had a great experience. Everything was well organized and comfortable throughout the trip. The village itself is amazing with beautiful mountain views and a unique atmosphere. Special thanks to our tour guide, who was very young but did a great job—friendly, helpful, and professional. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Hello! Thank you for your review. Hope to see you again! 😊
We joined a Smile Tour recently and were disappointed by the experience. Communication was poor — at 7:50 I got a message to wait outside and van will come by 8:00 AM, but the ride didn’t arrive until after 8:40 AM and our messages went unanswered for a long time. Upon arrival, there was no guidance on where to go or which van to take. The tour guide was inattentive and seemed more focused on certain guests than the group. We were also asked to give up our seats and sit separately, which felt disrespectful. The group size exceeded the promised limit of 12 people. As a Baku resident who has taken many tours, I can say there are better, more reliable companies available. While the Khinalig village is worth visiting, I recommend choosing a different tour provider. Despite the name, Smile Tour gave us little to smile about.
Wonderful Tour. Had a great time with the small group. Sayed, our tour guide made the tour quite enjoyable. Highly recommend. Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're truly grateful for your feedback — it means a lot to us. We're glad you had a positive experience and look forward to welcoming you again!
The excursion with SAJ was overall a great experience. Our guide, Ahmed, was very kind and knowledgeable, and the driver was clearly experienced. That said, the high speed on the narrow uphill roads did feel a little unsafe. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip to Khinaliq, thanks to these two gentlemen. However, there were some issues with the morning pickup. The booking was made via TripAdvisor, where the tour time was clearly stated as 9:00 AM. On the morning of the trip, I discovered several unread notifications in the app saying pickup would be at 7:00 AM. Since I rarely check the TripAdvisor app except when booking, I wasn’t aware of the change. The staff also asked for my WhatsApp number but never provided theirs, so communication was difficult. I ended up rushing down at 8:28 AM, where I saw the van but was initially told it wasn’t the right one. Only after calling the SAT staff did they confirm it was indeed my vehicle. In short, the pickup communication and coordination were poorly managed and quite frustrating. I would strongly suggest the management improve their SOP to ensure smoother operations. Otherwise, guests should be prepared for unexpected surprises despite booking in good faith.
Great experience on the excursion to Xinaliq. Breathtaking scenery and we were given ample time to revel in the nature and click photos. The tour was well organized, the vehicle was excellent and our guide Sayeed was extremely informative about the details managing patrons from Turkiye, Russia and us (India). Highly recommended.
had a very exciting trip with the knowledgeable and helpful guides Eldar and Khayal. Stunning natural views, delicious cuisine, and overall a perfectly organized journey. I highly recommend Smile Tour excursions to anyone visiting Azerbaijan.
A tour full of great and unconventional views. We've visited many different spots. Mr. Sayed is a very attentive and knowledgeable Guide.

We had the best experience with this agency. Our tour guide was Hazar (Hazard). He knows history very well, very charismatic person. I highly recommend him for your next tour in beautiful Baku. We had a wonderful day on the field trip with Hazard. He knows history very well and is generally a very charming man. It is my pleasure to recommend it for your travels in the beautiful city of Baku ❤️
