    My husband and I took this trip and were absolutely delighted. The itinerary may look quite full, but it was carried out in a very comfortable and relaxed way. Majestic landscapes, delicious food, and wonderful company! What more could you ask for in a getaway?! Our guide, Damar, brought such positive energy to the experience. He shared so many fascinating stories and truly made us fall in love with Dagestan :) Our driver, Hasim, was a true professional, we felt completely safe with him, even on mountain roads and rough terrain :) Many thanks to the providers and the entire team for such a fantastic experience!

    Everything was very well organized. The transport for the excursions always arrived on time. The hotel was also great (we stayed in a "Planet Suite"), and it was cleaned every day. The staff were polite and attentive. I liked everything and would love to come back again. Many thanks to Big Country, we’ll definitely be checking out your other tours in the future.
