July 17, 2024 "HIKING CAMP" Tour of the Kaliningrad Region (July 11–16, 2024) Dear Big Country team, especially Customer Service Manager Anastasia Lutsenko, Thank you for organizing this hiking tour and bringing together such a wonderful group of participants. A special thanks to the local managers and guides, including Natalia and Daria, who did everything possible to make our journey engaging, physically active, and informative, exactly as promised in the program. I may be 82 years old, but if a new active travel program becomes available or an updated version is introduced on your website, I definitely plan to return to this region. I've already started looking into new options. Eduard Smirnov

The Baltic Adventures tour, which I was lucky enough to take part in from July 17 to 20, 2024, left me with truly magical impressions. From the very first day in Kaliningrad, I was delighted - a clean and cozy hostel with everything needed for a comfortable stay, delicious food at a café, and, of course, friendly staff. It's also worth highlighting the program itself and the incredible team of guides. Every detail is carefully planned, making all four days active, fun, informative, and engaging. A big plus: all necessary equipment is provided, including a backpack and water bottle! There's no need to worry about what comes next because the amazing team, Natalia, Vladislav, and Daria, has thought of everything for you. The guides are incredibly positive and full of energy, always ready to answer any questions and show the city’s beauty from a fresh and unique perspective. So, if you're hesitating, don’t. The program, the team, and the entire experience are absolutely worth the trip ✨
