The organization of the tour was at the highest level, any issue was resolved as quickly as possible. A very well-designed program. Well, the guides were giving their attention to everyone. The family atmosphere they create would not leave without a slight sadness of saying goodbye. Our guide Ruslan took a separate place in my heart!
