    about tour
    I was on the Autumn Charm of the Adygea Mountains tour in September 2021. I really liked the tour: A rich program, qualified guides who changed every day for the program and allowed us to look at the tour from different points of view! everything is thought out to the smallest detail! The organizer is beyond praise! We were able to squeeze everything out of this place: hiking, gorges, simple uphill climbs, waterfalls, horseback riding, and caves. I recommend it to everyone and wish prosperity to the organizers!

    about tour
    I really liked the tour, visited many beautiful places, the program was quite intense and there was no time to get bored, despite the fact that there are interruptions with cellular communication at the base and TV was not working. The instructors are qualified, helped to pass the most difficult sections of the routes and always waited for the laggards, in addition, it is clear that the organizers themselves are interested in their native land, they told us a lot about nature, local plants and fauna. In general, largely thanks to the good and very experienced staff and the owners of the recreation center, the most wonderful impressions of Adygea remained. The food is good, quite varied, no one went hungry. However, I would like to dilute a large number of chicken dishes with other types of meat and fish. The houses for living are quite cozy, heated. The only disadvantage in terms of comfort is periodic problems with water pressure when flushing and in the shower - but you can close your eyes to this, after all, the recreation center is located in the middle of the forest (and not in the city) and some inconveniences are excusable.
