    The host company organized our entire vacation in Karelia, and our wonderful guide, Olga, accompanied us everywhere, always making sure we were handed over smoothly to the next person. We were met, assisted, and transferred at every step. Everything was excellent!!! So many positive emotions!!! Our group was fantastic too! It’s a shame our time in Karelia went by so quickly.
