Breakfast at the Hotel. Your guide will pick you up from the Shahdag hotel by 10:00am for Guba Tour. Guba is one of the favorite tourist destinations because of its shady woods and gorgeous Caucasus Mountains. Famous for carpets and apples, the town of Guba sits on a cliff top overlooking the Qudiyalchay River. In and around Guba city there are still several significant historical places. Juma (Friday) Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Guba, built from the red bricks in 1802. It has a cylinder-shaped structure and the form of regular octagon, typical for Guba mosques. In fact, inside the mosque is larger than it seems from the outside. And, of course, excursion to Guba is not possible without visiting a Carpet Weaving Factory! Guba carpets feature intricate designs that take inspiration from nature and geometric patterns, plus a variety of vivid colors. Here people aim to bringing back the art of carpet weaving and reviving the skills and knowledge needed to keep this ancient art alive. After visiting the factory, you can drop to a carpet-shop to buy some souvenirs and authentic carpets. In the wonderful shady Gachresh forest you can have lunch in the national authentic restaurant with large terrace and astonishing view to the mountains and forest enjoying delicious eco-food: fresh farm vegetables, lamb & chicken kebabs, tea set & selection of local home-made jams which you probably never tried before. Overnight in Shahdag.

Breakfast at the Hotel. Check out and your guide will pick you up from Baku hotel by 10:00am proceed to Baku (approx. 3hrs drive). Want to have a close look at the Baku`s most popular landmark? Baku business and hotel complex Flame Towers Baku is composed of 3 buildings. The surface of the Towers is fully covered with LED screens reflecting different visual characters in motion, easily visible from the far corners of the city in the evening. Walk along the Alley of Martyrs which is usually being included in the protocol visits of the foreign officials. Enjoy the panoramic view of the city and its bay from Baku’s Highland Park (also called Upland Park), the highest point in the Azerbaijani capital. Baku Boulevard to view the International Mugham Center (without entering) created in order to widely promote Azerbaijani ‘mugham’ (folk musical composition) in the world and shaped as the national musical instrument – ‘tar’. Here you will also see Azerbaijan National Carpet Museum, designed by Austrian architect Franz Janz and looking like a rolled carpet. Wander between the decorative stone bridges of so-called Little Venice, a small town on the water and one of the jewels of Baku. It has two large and several small islands and its gondolas are travelling in the channels full of still and clean water. Icherisheher (Inner City), known as a “Fortress” or “Old City”, a unique historical and architectural conservation area in the center of Baku. This is one of the most ancient places of the country where archaeological excavations revealed burial vaults of the Bronze Age. Maiden Tower (12th century) and The Palace of Shirvanshahs (13th-16th centuries) are the best-known historical monuments located in the Old City. Besides them there are a lot of other unique monuments such as mosques, minarets, the remnants of caravanserais “Multani” and “Bukhara”, ancient baths, etc. Stroll down the paved streets of this ancient city and drop to some of the numerous souvenir shops where you can buy national clothes, kerchiefs, scarves and caps, dishes and handmade carpets.

After leaving Old City move to the modern downtown, straight to the Fountain Square, the most popular public place with many restaurants and shops, main location for public festivals, shows and celebrations and pedestrian Nizami street, old trading zone with lots of shops and boutiques. Heydar Aliyev Centre (without entering just for photo stop) designed by world-famous architect Zaha Hadid. It is vast and jaw-droppingly majestic statement of fluid 21st-century architecture forming abstract waves and peaks that seem to melt together. The real delight is simply pondering and photographing the extraordinary exterior from ever- changing angles. Make a stop next to the popular “I love Baku” sign to take some photos. Our next stop is Ateshgah Fire Temple in the village of Surakhani that for centuries has been attracting crowds of thrill seekers. Built in the 17th–18th centuries around naturally burning flames which were previously worshipped by Zoroastrians, the site then had become an important place of pilgrimage for fire-worshipping Hindus until the 1880s. Today it houses a well-designed open air museum. And the final stop of our “fiery tour” is State Historical, Cultural and Natural Reserve Yanardag (literary “Burning Mountain”), a complex built around the hill located on the top of the natural gas pocket causing continuous flame eruption. Most probably the fire has been burning in Yanardag for over 20,000 years. These natural flames were described by Marco Polo in the 13th century and continue to mesmerize those who visit the site. Overnight in Baku.

Cancellation due to visa rejection: It is the Embassy who takes the final decision when it comes to approving or rejecting your Visa.

This makes it difficult for us to refund any amount (if applicable) in case the Embassy has decided to reject your application (though we don’t like it when that happens). At your port of exit, it is the immigration officials who make the final decision about your immigration clearance and granting/ rejecting your visa. This makes it difficult for us to refund any amount (if applicable) if your travel is affected by these decisions (Again, we don’t like it when that happens).
Cancellation by clients: First things first- your comfort factor is important to us! That is why we follow a pretty simple and straightforward refund policy. It’s OK to change your mind and that is something we at houseoftours.com respect and understand. Unforeseen circumstances may occur and at times you may need to change plans. Just so you know, all the information that follows applies not to one, not two, but all our platforms. While our priority is to make sure you have zero impact while changing plans, we also make sure that the services (visa, hotels, flights etc.) you had chosen are blocked with our service providers to create those wonderful memories. This means that for any change of plans, our service providers would charge us a flat fee based on their refund policy. It is these charges that we formulate as a refund policy, that's all!

A no-show from your end too is fully non-refundable, we are sorry! Timeline: To exceed your expectation, we process all refund requests post validation on the same day i.e. within a TAT of 24 hours. Within the next 7 to 14 days, the amount would be reflected back to the same mode from which you had made the payment.
