My 4-day trip to Arkhangelsk in February 2026 left me with unforgettable memories. Many thanks to “Big Country” and to Yulia, the local coordinator in Arkhangelsk, for the excellent organization and the fascinating excursions. I was especially impressed by the beautiful northern landscapes, the variety of museums, and the warmth and hospitality of the local people. I enjoyed the trip so much that I wished I could have stayed longer.

Good afternoon! We were on the "Northern Lights Hunt" tour in Arkhangelsk from March 2 to 5. Overall, everything was very well organized, and we would especially like to thank our guide Marina for the informative excursions and her warm, caring attitude toward us throughout the trip. Unfortunately, because of the weather, we didn’t get a chance to see the Northern Lights, which was a bit disappointing. Still, thank you very much for the wonderful trip and the excellent organization.

I really enjoyed the trip—thanks to the tour managers! Everything was well-organized and clearly planned. I especially appreciated how quickly they responded to any questions I had and explained everything patiently. Even though I was traveling solo, all the excursions felt lively and engaging. It was a bit disappointing that the last tour was canceled, but I appreciated the advance notice, which gave me the chance to arrange a visit on my own. I’ll definitely recommend you!
