    The tour was interesting, and the excursions were well organized, they met our expectations. I really liked the guides. The Solovki Hotel was comfortable, with daily room cleaning and a lovely little park on the property. However, the internet connection was very unstable, practically nonexistent most of the time. The restaurant staff seemed indifferent, and while the food was expensive, it wasn’t particularly tasty. Overall, we were happy with our stay in such a unique place as Solovki. No regrets.

    Many thanks to the entire team of "Big Country" and our guide, Tatiana! She was with us throughout the trip, making even the longest journeys engaging with her fascinating stories. But the most unforgettable moment was wading across the river, allowing us to witness the second waterfall in all its breathtaking beauty!
