An amazing tour! The mountainous regions of the North Caucasus are breathtaking in their beauty and diversity. Mountainous Ingushetia was love at first sight! And the rest of the republics were just as impressive: the stunning Sulak Canyon, the misty Kezenoyam Lake (well, you can’t control the weather), a dramatic lightning-filled night in Grozny, and Upper Balkaria with its mystical blue lakes and ancient mountain fortresses. These memories will stay with me for a long time — and I’ll definitely want to come back!

The tour was excellently organized — the guides and drivers were true professionals and genuinely friendly :) The small group size was a big plus, making everything more comfortable and personal. The company itself was great to deal with and had a fun, positive vibe :D We really liked all the hotels we stayed in — all of them were high quality and well-chosen. I would absolutely recommend this tour!
