    Our Kamchatka Express tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Over the course of a week, we truly immersed ourselves in the incredible diversity of the Kamchatka region. We saw geysers, bathed in thermal springs, flew in a helicopter, sailed on a boat, fished, and hiked in the mountains. Catching my first fish was a highlight—I’d never been fishing before and initially held the rod just for a photo! On all the excursions where we explored Kamchatka’s stunning landscapes—not just from the air or water but from the mountains themselves—we were guided by Andrey, a reliable and experienced guide. With him, neither snow nor wind could faze us; he made every summit feel achievable. Maria also gave us a fascinating city tour that immersed us in Kamchatka’s rich historical past. A special treat on our excursions was the delicious herbal tea we were offered—thank you for that thoughtful touch! We stayed at the three-star Geyser Hotel, which was spotlessly clean. The rooms were tidied daily, with fresh towels provided, and breakfast was varied and lovingly prepared—everything was delicious. The hotel staff were always attentive and helpful. We couldn’t be happier with the tour. Kamchatka has a way of staying with you, and I can’t wait to return!
