Many thanks to the providers for such a well-planned and smoothly coordinated excursion program. Throughout the trip, the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of each place we visited. They didn’t just cover the main attractions, they also shared fascinating details and lesser-known stories that brought the history of these famous sites and historical figures to life. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company. Every commitment was fulfilled on time, and the entire experience was organized professionally from start to finish! Thank you very much for a wonderful trip!

The "Tourist" Hotel was excellent. It had everything we needed, and the city center was even within walking distance, about 15-30 minutes depending on your pace. The excursions to the towns around Kaliningrad, especially Zelenogradsk and Yantarny, were absolutely wonderful, really interesting, atmospheric, and enjoyable. I’d especially like to mention our guide, Lyudmila. She was friendly, funny, positive, and had a great sense of humor. Her tours were informative and engaging without overwhelming us with too much information. She explained everything in a simple and memorable way - more like: See this building? Here’s why it looks this way and what makes it special. That style made the excursions especially enjoyable. To be honest, the castle tours in Kaliningrad itself were a bit less interesting, since many of the castles are now partly in ruins.

Big Country Travel

Hello Boris, Thank you for your feedback! We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip and especially appreciated Lyudmila’s work as a guide! We will definitely pass your comments about the castle tours on to our local partners. We hope to see you again on one of our future tours across Russia!
