Tourists reviews of vacations in Kazan

The excursions were very interesting. I believe everyone should visit Kazan and other regions of Russia to learn more about our cultural heritage, Russia truly has a lot to be proud of. Kazan is a unique city where many religions and cultures coexist harmoniously, which gives it a very special atmosphere. The city also has many modern sports and cultural venues. The food was delicious as well, and overall the trip left a very positive impression.

We took this tour from July 19 to July 23 and had a great time. The guides were excellent, and the buses were very comfortable. Tatarstan is beautiful, and you get to discover so many fascinating things.

A good sightseeing tour. Now I know exactly which places I’d like to return to and next time for a few days. I would have liked a bit more history, perhaps some local stories or ethnographic insights. The "look to the right / look to the left / this house belongs to so-and-so / souvenirs over there" format didn’t feel very informative to me. On the other hand, I completely understand how difficult it is to present material in such a large group. I really enjoyed the Rock Café for lunch in Nizhny Novgorod, but in Kazan the meal was rather plain and uninspiring. In Yoshkar-Ola everything was fine, but if they had included something from the local cuisine, it would have been perfect. On a tour like this, the taste of regional food makes a big difference.

It was a wonderful trip! Everything was very well organized, with no delays, the schedule was followed perfectly. We saw so much and came back full of great impressions and positive emotions. Special thanks to our guide, Emma!

The tour is quite intense for just three days, so the information ends up being rather superficial. It feels more like an introduction or a starting point for future trips. By the last day (in Kazan), fatigue sets in, and it becomes harder to take everything in. It might be worth extending the tour by an extra day. I really enjoyed the work of our guide, Dmitry (in Yoshkar-Ola, Cheboksary, and partly in Kazan). It’s clear that he’s genuinely passionate about history and knows his subject very well.

It was even better than I expected. I’m really glad I went and will definitely recommend it to my friends.
