The organization of the tour was excellent from start to finish. Everything was handled smoothly and professionally, from the airport pickup and transfers to the island crossing, hotel check-in, and departures for excursions. Everything ran right on schedule. The hotel was warm, clean, and comfortable, and the food was very good throughout the trip. I really enjoyed the itinerary overall. The only part that felt a bit challenging was the trip to Cape Three Brothers. The drive there in the UAZ vans was quite long, and by the end of the day everyone was understandably tired from being on the road. A special thank-you goes to the drivers, who did a fantastic job and even provided us with hot lunches during the excursions. I would also like to thank our guide, Oksana, for her engaging stories, professionalism, and genuine care for the group. Overall, I came away with a very positive impression of the trip. Thank you, and I wish you continued success!
