Tourists reviews of vacations in Dagestan

Amazing tour❤️ Everything was perfectly planned, and we got to see Dagestan from so many different sides. The accommodation was comfortable, with beautiful views of the mountains and the waterfront in Derbent. As for the food, it was absolutely delicious, we especially loved Aunt Fati’s place. About our guide: Amir truly felt like family by the end of the trip. He made everything easy, enjoyable, and a lot of fun :) He even took us on a night drive around Derbent :D Even though it wasn’t part of the program :) I even got a bit emotional when it was time to leave. Thank you for such a wonderful vacation ❤️

I'd really like to share my impressions after a 10-day tour of the Caucasus. I just returned on July 19, 2024 I took what is probably the most extensive tour: “ This is the Caucasus. A Sightseeing Tour of Five Republics (Wednesday Arrival)” I’m absolutely thrilled with the trip. The places we visited were stunning, the scenery breathtaking!!! I highly recommend it to anyone ready for 10 days of active travel! That said, it might be even better to split it into 2 shorter parts for a more relaxed experience, on some days, especially in 40°C heat, the schedule felt a bit too intense What impressed me most were Dagestan and Mount Elbrus. The mountains, nature, and guides were all fantastic. No complaints whatsoever

The tour 'Dagestan to the Maximum: All Inclusive' from July 10–14, 2024, was my first time visiting Dagestan — and it exceeded all my expectations. It was a wonderful, adventure-filled trip packed with emotions and unforgettable experiences! The excursions were incredibly informative and offered the chance to witness the breathtaking beauty of the region’s nature.

Huge thanks to the team for their incredible work.I’ve never seen people pour so much heart and soul into what they do. All 5 days were packed with unforgettable experiences. So many places, emotions, stories, and legends. The evening campfire gatherings hold a special place in my heart. I definitely left with enough energy to last the whole year. Would I come back? Without a doubt. That’s why I’m already looking forward to new tours and new destinations!

Unforgettable impressions from one of the most beautiful regions! We're deeply grateful to Kurban and Atlukhan for introducing us to sunny, welcoming Dagestan and for sharing its customs and rich history with us! We took part in the 'Dagestan to the Maximum' tour from July 1 to 5, 2024 — and it truly lived up to its name! Every detail was thoughtfully organized: hikes through stunning mountain landscapes, visits to both above-ground and underground waterfalls, and so much more. The food and hospitality felt like home — warm, authentic, and absolutely delicious. We were beyond satisfied and have no regrets whatsoever. P.S. due to the climate, mountainous terrain, and the number of hikes involved, the tour can be physically demanding for those aged 55 and over …🤪 But we made it.... And even lost 3 kg along the way 😜

The "Dagestan to the Maximum" tour truly lived up to its name. In just 5 days, we managed to visit many incredible places. Our guide was energetic and friendly, and the program was dynamic and well-organized. We had the chance to experience the full flavor of the Caucasus, enjoy the stunning variety of Dagestan’s landscapes, and learn a lot about its local traditions and culture. The accommodations were comfortable, with cozy, modern rooms. The traditional cuisine was delicious, though a bit repetitive. Overall, the tour left us with wonderful memories, many thanks to our guide and driver.

The beauty of Dagestan is truly breathtaking. Every stop on the tour was enriched with fascinating stories, music, and great conversations. The traditional cuisine was both delicious and filling. Huge thanks to our amazing guides, Atlukhan and Kurban — they clearly love what they do and share their passion for their homeland with humor and heart. VISIT DAGESTAN!

Everything was very well organized. The train was fantastic. The staff went out of their way to ensure a comfortable journey. The service was excellent. The train itself was clean and well-equipped, with a restaurant, bar, and a banya.

I highly recommend this tour to everyone, my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Dagestan — it's a stunningly beautiful and incredibly welcoming place !!!

An amazing tour! The mountainous regions of the North Caucasus are breathtaking in their beauty and diversity. Mountainous Ingushetia was love at first sight! And the rest of the republics were just as impressive: the stunning Sulak Canyon, the misty Kezenoyam Lake (well, you can’t control the weather), a dramatic lightning-filled night in Grozny, and Upper Balkaria with its mystical blue lakes and ancient mountain fortresses. These memories will stay with me for a long time — and I’ll definitely want to come back!

Beautifully selected locations, comfortable transportation and accommodation. The true highlight of the tour was our guide, Madina — special thanks to her.

An amazing tour; in just 5 days, we managed to see all the top spots in Dagestan, take stunning photos, and dive into the local culture! We explored the unforgettable Sulak Canyon — its breathtaking beauty left us speechless 🏞️. We visited the Sarykum Dune, where we felt completely transported into a desert atmosphere 🌵🌅 leaving all worries behind. In the village of Goor, we had a chance to dress in traditional outfits and took some really cool photos! At several viewpoints along the way, we could also try on national costumes and truly feel like mountain locals! ⛰️

Dagestan is a love that lasts forever ❤️ I absolutely loved everything — the experience not only met but exceeded my expectations 🙏 Huge thanks to our guide Altukhan and our driver Ahmed for making these five days truly unforgettable🔥

Pure delight! The experience fully lived up to our expectations—and even exceeded them! We're so grateful to our guides, Madina and Ruben, for their care, attention to every detail, and subtle sense of humor! You could truly feel their deep love for their homeland and their passion for sharing it with us!

Huge thanks to our amazing guide Ekaterina and our driver Zamir, who made our introduction to Dagestan both comfortable and truly fascinating. The only stop I would personally skip is the dune, it didn’t quite stand out compared to the rest of the trip.

I'm at a loss for words — absolutely thrilled!!! Everything was organized to the highest standard!!! Ekaterina is the best guide!!! The experience was beautiful, engaging, and truly unforgettable!!!

Good afternoon, everyone! I’d love to sincerely share my impressions of this trip 🙏🏻 those 5 days were truly unforgettable. So many emotions, so many memories! Stunning places, breathtaking views ! I have absolutely no regrets about choosing Dagestan! And a huge thank-you to the big country team, you were there to help with everything 🙏🏻 You’re simply the best !

We visited the Republic for the first time and were truly impressed! Stunning nature and incredibly kind, welcoming people. We chose a tour that included meals and it turned out to be a great decision. It might be a bit challenging for vegans or picky eaters, but everything was perfect for us!!! The weather was great, and our guides didn’t let us down! Murad and Omar are absolute pros! We really hope to come back.

An unforgettable vacation, all thanks to our amazing guides. They were true professionals, unlike anyone we've ever met before!!! They brought so much positivity, energy, and warmth to every moment❤️. Always there to help, they shared fascinating stories and traditions of Dagestan and took great photos of us at every stop. All the locations were beautiful and thoughtfully chosen. We completely fell in love with you and your city😍 Can’t wait to come back next year, see you then ❤️

Dagestan is a wonderful place where you can relax by the sea with your children and learn a lot about the region. The people were warm and attentive. If I get the chance, I’d love to visit Dagestan again, there’s still so much left to see.
