About the tour - The lights of Dagestan. Winter holidays
I loved everything about this trip!! The tour was very well planned, and our guide, Gamzat, was fantastic. He shared interesting stories, had a great sense of humor, and kept the group entertained throughout the journey. Everything ran smoothly, no traffic delays, no long lines, and the food was delicious. I’d also like to mention the Ocean Hotel in Izberbash, where the beds were exceptionally comfortable and made for a great night's sleep.
About the tour - Tour of North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria
The organization of our trip was excellent. We were picked up at the train station right on time and taken to the hotel. The tour program was full and engaging, so there was never a dull moment. The young guides spoke about the region’s history in such an interesting and informative way that it was clear they truly know and love their homeland. The hotel served delicious breakfasts and even better lunches and the Ossetian pies deserve a special mention on their own. I highly recommend visiting this wonderful and welcoming region. Many thanks for the great organization
About the tour - This is the Caucasus. Sightseeing tour of the five republics
Good afternoon! Thank you for the tour! Everything was very well organized, the program was interesting, the hotels were excellent, and I really enjoyed the food.
My only concern was with the guide in Dagestan, Gamzat. He came across as overly religious and somewhat aggressive. All the other guides did a great job! We learned a lot of new things.
I will definitely turn to your company again for future trips.

I traveled from July 6 to July 13, 2024, and the tour left me with bright, wonderful, and truly unforgettable memories. I’d love to come back again😎
The Olympos Hotel was lovely and new, located not far from the city center, cozy rooms, great staff, and delicious breakfasts :D
A special thank-you to our guide, Eduard. You can really feel that he cares about what he does, people like him are rare these days.
All the excursions during the tour were interesting and well-paced. We saw and learned so much about the North Caucasus.
Thank you for the stunning views, fascinating stories, and magical photo spots.
Warm regards, Valeria
About the tour - Vivid images of the Caucasus
A huge thank you to Big Country for an absolutely amazing tour. We went on a 12-day trip through the Caucasus, and it was packed with experiences, we visited so many different places. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we came back full of great memories. The food was incredible everywhere, with generous portions, and we had no issues with any of the hotels. The people of the Caucasus are wonderfully warm and welcoming.

About the tour - The Caucasus has become closer. Autumn Tour
I really enjoyed everything, the guides were excellent (especially Oleg and Vyacheslav), truly passionate about their work and great storytellers who shared fascinating details. The places we visited were simply amazing, and I was very lucky to have such a great group . The only thing I didn’t like much was the "Camellia" Hotel, the rooms weren’t cleaned, and the staff came in without warning (even though they could have called first). But that didn’t spoil the trip at all

About the tour - Hospitable Dagestan. Saturday Guided Tour
Well organized tour, beautiful natural spots, a laid-back guide, Magomed, and well-planned meals. The hotel was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay.
About the tour - Hospitable Dagestan. Saturday Guided Tour
Dagestan is a stunning region. We’re really glad we chose a tour with Big Country. Everything was well organized and coordinated on site. I especially appreciated that the group was small, it made traveling together with our driver-guide much more comfortable. A special thank-you to our guide, Mahammad, for the warm welcome and genuine hospitality. The homemade food and the rich excursion program were fantastic. The only thing I’d reconsider is arranging overnight stays in different locations when heading deeper into the mountains, returning to the same place each time took a lot of time and energy.
About the tour - Dagestan to the maximum. Everything is included
I really enjoyed the tour! Many thanks to our guide Ruslan for his professionalism and for all the fascinating stories about Dagestan, its traditions, and its history. Throughout the trip I got to see incredibly beautiful places, and the itinerary was arranged so well that each day felt even more impressive than the last. Ruslan also handled any issues that came up during the tour quickly and efficiently, including those related to meals. Since I don’t eat spicy food, he arranged with the kitchen to prepare my dishes without any hot seasonings. I really appreciated that! We stayed in guesthouses with gorgeous mountain views, very cozy and comfortable.
About the tour - Mysterious Ossetia
The Mysterious Ossetia tour has a very rich and engaging program, I highly recommend it. North Ossetia is full of incredibly hospitable people and delicious food . The excursion to the Digoria Gorge impressed me the most.
About the tour - Wine and gastronomic tour of the Krasnodar Territory

About the tour - Trekking in Bezengi without backpacks
The accommodation was very comfortable, both in cabins and in tents.
The food was delicious and filling.
A wide range of gear is available for rent, including tents, trekking poles, and hiking boots. A hairdryer and heater can also be provided upon request.
The internet connection was weak and unreliable.
The routes were not very diverse: we went through the Bezengi Gorge 2 times and the Mezhergi Gorge 2 times (just on different sides of the gorges), and we never actually reached the glaciers.
The host company tends to be overly cautious and cancels routes at the slightest risk, citing safety concerns, even though other trekking clubs were running their planned or alternative routes at the same time.

About the tour - Trekking in Arkhyz. Comfort tour
The trip took place from June 16 to 22. I highly recommend the tour, though it might be hard to go back to everyday sedentary life afterward, especially for active travelers :)
The views are absolutely stunning and only reveal themselves once you climb high into the mountains!
Our guide, Natasha B., was wonderful. She paid attention to everyone, kept the mood light, and was always there with a supportive shoulder when things got tough :D The group was fantastic, and the atmosphere was positive throughout :)
I loved everything! Only amazing memories remain!
