About the tour - The silver route. Winter railway cruise with a visit to Pechora
I really enjoyed my trip around the Silver Ring of Russia. Despite the winter weather, the snow-covered landscapes had a special charm, winter is just as beautiful as summer. I’m not a big fan of the heat, so this was actually a big plus for me. The only downside was that I didn’t bring comfortable shoes. Since there was quite a bit of walking, that made things a bit difficult. The guides were true professionals and shared a lot of fascinating information. The history of Russia, as well as the monasteries, churches, and museums, all left a strong and lasting impression. Many thanks and my sincere respect to everyone involved in organizing this experience. Everything related to the train travel (Russian Railways) was also very well organized: clean carriages, attentive staff, and a good choice of meals. Great job. When I was younger, my family and I traveled around the Golden Ring on our own by car, but I can say that an organized tour by train is much more convenient, informative, and hassle-free. I highly recommend "Big Country" and our manager Yulia!

Everything went perfectly!
The guides, Denis and Artyom, deserve the highest praise. The way they conducted the tour was truly in a class of its own, engaging, lively, and fascinating. They handled all organizational and practical matters for the group with great care and attention. I would like to commend the company’s management for having such valuable and competent employees!
I have no complaints about the tour itself either. The local guides we met were true professionals, passionate about their work. Their explanations were concise and to the point, no unnecessary talk. The sights along the route were thoughtfully chosen and genuinely impressive. As for the minor inconveniences that are inevitable on a long trip like this, I hardly noticed them. In fact, I’ve probably already forgotten about them.
Overall, I had a wonderful and relaxing time!
Many thanks to all the company staff who helped make this trip possible!
About the tour - A 3-day trip to Pskov
The trip was wonderful!
I especially liked the hotel because of its location. In the evenings, it was beautiful to watch the sunset over the river. Our windows overlooked the Velikaya River, and there were shows along the riverbank every day. Fire performances, folk entertainers, motorboats, and kayaks...
I was also very impressed by our guide, Svetlana. I haven’t met anyone in a long time with such an incredible memory - she knew so many facts, dates, and even poems by heart! A truly wonderful person
The food was good, the bus was very comfortable, and I didn’t notice any downsides at all. Thank you to your company for organizing such great tours🙏👍🤗❤️
