Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival. Getting to know the city of the sun — Kislovodsk

    Your journey through the Caucasus begins with arrival at the airport or at the Mineralnye Vody railway station, where you will be met by our comfortable transfer service.

    For an optimal start to the program, we recommend choosing flights arriving before 12:00, as we are leaving for sunny Kislovodsk at 12:30.

    The journey through the foothills of the Caucasus will take about an hour, giving you the first impressions of the majestic mountain panoramas and picturesque valleys.

    We will also meet and deliver guests arriving directly in Kislovodsk to their accommodation. Accommodation at the selected hotel will be available from 14:00, and before that time you can leave your belongings in the luggage room.

    The tour program begins with an introductory lunch, during which you will get to know your fellow travelers and the guide.

    The first tour will introduce you to the rich heritage of Kislovodsk, a city whose healing springs were discovered by decree of Catherine II back in the 18th century.

    In the historical Narzan gallery, you will taste three types of mineral water from different sources, experiencing the atmosphere of the imperial resort.

    Your walk will continue along the famous Cascade Staircase and the shady alleys of Kurortny Boulevard, where Pushkin, Tolstoy and Chaliapin once walked.

    You will pay special attention to the Kislovodsk Park, the second largest in Europe, where more than 250 plant species grow on the territory of a unique ecosystem.

    Walking along the terrencures with a total length of almost 100 kilometers will give you not only aesthetic pleasure, but also wellness thanks to the air saturated with phytoncides of coniferous trees.

    After the tour, you will be able to return to the hotel on your own for rest and dinner.

    Overall, everything was fine. The only downside was that there was a bit too much repeated information in the chat, so it was sometimes hard to remember which file contained the information I needed. Otherwise, everything was great
