Tourists reviews of vacations on Elbrus

Hello! We took part in the trekking tour in the Elbrus region, and it was an amazing experience. First and foremost, a huge thank you to our guide, Svetlana!!! She is a fascinating woman, she could easily outshine many men! :) she shared so much interesting information, showed us incredible places, and even treated us to delicious herbal tea made from wild mountain herbs! I absolutely loved everything!!! The landscapes were straight out of a fairy tale!!! The food, the hotel, and the overall program were all top-notch, just as described in the tour details. We will definitely do it again next year!!! The mountains completely won our hearts! A big thank you for the excellent organization!

We came back from the tour full of wonderful impressions. I really appreciated how varied and well-balanced the itinerary was. We explored the majestic Caucasus Mountains, took in breathtaking views of mountain rivers, and soaked in the natural beauty all around us. We also enjoyed guided tours through all the Caucasian Mineral Waters resort towns — Yessentuki, Pyatigorsk, Zheleznovodsk, and Kislovodsk. We stayed at the new Olympos Hotel in Pyatigorsk, which left a great impression. Everything was spotless, with modern furniture and new fixtures in the bathrooms. Breakfasts were mind-blowing. I highly recommend both the tour and the hotel to future travelers.

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. The excursions were both interesting and informative, led by guides from the host team who are true professionals. At the Nautilus Hotel, they kindly saved dinner for us whenever we returned late from tours. Unforgettable impressions from the tour – a solid 5 out of 5.

We took the Caucasian Mosaic tour from July 3 to July 7 and really enjoyed it. The itinerary was interesting, well-rounded, and diverse, combining mountains, cities, and cultural and historical landmarks. Mountain trips were nicely balanced with more urban sightseeing routes.

I really enjoyed the tour, especially the days we spent visiting Cheget, Elbrus, and Dombai. It was great that the itinerary alternated between city tours and mountain excursions. The only downside was the Geduko complex — it felt quite run-down. But that's more of an issue for the site's management.

I had no prior climbing experience, but I lead an active lifestyle and go trekking in the mountains every summer. I chose this tour based on my background, with the goal of summiting Mount Elbrus at a time that suited me. The tour was well-organized to support that goal — there were enough experienced guides, and the program focused on proper acclimatization rather than pushing participants to the point of dropping out due to excessive strain. Another bonus was the surprisingly comfortable living conditions — even staying in unheated rooms and taking turns cooking felt enjoyable. Unfortunately, the summit attempt was canceled due to strong winds at the top. However, the tour provider was very accommodating, and we stayed an extra day at the assault camp in hopes of better weather.

An incredible experience with unforgettable emotions , we got to see the full beauty of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic's nature What I appreciated most about the organization: routes were planned with the weather in mind, always adapting to conditions, prof. focus on safety – Ilya clearly explained how to behave in the mountains and what to be aware of personalized attention to each group member, taking into account individual fitness levels , constant kindness and a great, positive atmosphere. Thanks to Ilia, our group became a real team in just 5 days. He was a guide everyone trusted and listened to His stories about trekking, preparation, and climbing Mount Elbrus were truly inspiring – we caught the adventure spirit and now really want to go on a proper expedition P.S. The Maiden's Curls Waterfall in the rain turned out to be the perfect choice – the next day we had a clear view of Elbrus and hiked through snow and ice to the "Shelter of the Eleven" (at 4100 meters!), where the ascent begins. It was amazing! Huge thanks again!
