Tourists reviews of vacations in Kabardino-Balkaria - Page 2

Many thanks to the whole team!!! 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

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.

The experience was amazing. The organization was solid, and the guides were excellent. We made it to the summit. The food was good, and everything provided matched what was promised.

The tour was thrilling. A lot of impressions. Everything was great. I enjoyed every part of it. Thank you very much!

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.

I really enjoyed the tour. Everything was very well organized. Most of all, I was impressed by the stunning natural scenery and the incredibly beautiful mountains.

Mountains, breathtaking scenery, and fresh air, what more could you ask for! The weather was perfect, allowing us to complete all the routes and fully enjoy the surrounding beauty. The highlight of the trip was ascending Elbrus, even if only at an amateur level, it was still an incredible achievement. Walking through snow at an altitude of 4150 meters in mid-June is a real test of both body and mind. Many thanks to our guide Andzhelika for her sensitivity and patience, for taking care of everyone, and for sharing fascinating stories about each route.

It was amazing!

Great tour! The program was very full and varied, it felt like I saw half of the Caucasus in just eight days! Absolutely amazing! Dombay and Elbrus are stunning! Even though the cable car ride isn’t included in the tour price, it’s definitely worth it! You won’t regret it!

The tour was fantastic ! Even when the bus broke down once, a replacement was arranged immediately! Beautiful places and great guides!
