Very spontaneously we decided to go on a guided tour for two days outside Baku. 

Via tourQH we came in touch with Rauf. This made the experience very special and personally. 

Starting with the rock art in Gobustan, where Rauf gave us the impression to discover this site with us. Very creativly he organized our spontaneous idea to go to the mud volcanos. He organized a driver with a 4w-Car and the ride was as exciting as the mud vulcanos. After that we drove to Quba, his hometown. Treating us like friends, who came by for a weekend, he showed us to hidden places like a nice lake, where we did a nice walk. And the day finished with a nightwalk to the Jewish village on the other side of the river. 

He organized everything perfectly, starting with picking us up right in time from our hotel in Baku, booking the hotel in Quba and the transportation back to the airport. 

The highlight was definitely the tour into the mountains to Khinalyg including a hike up to the waterspring, a tea break at a friend’s place and a visit to the local museum.  The drive to the village in the mountains was a highlight by itself. 

Rauf is a nice guy, has a lot of stories to tell and makes a tour very individual, far away from a standard tour with thousand of facts, that no one needs to remember.
