Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 15

Everything was absolutely wonderful! Denis is an excellent guide—cheerful, sociable, and full of fascinating stories. Our driver was also very engaging, making the journey both informative and enjoyable. Now we’re eager to visit again in winter! The food at the hotel was basic, without any local flair, but I highly recommend the nearby café Barguzin. We walked a lot, so be sure to bring comfortable sneakers—ideally ones you don’t mind getting a bit worn. You don’t need to pack much; there are shops on the island. Towels for swimming in Lake Baikal are provided—just ask—but you’ll need to bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste, as those aren’t available. We stayed in a room with all the necessary amenities, though toothbrushes and toothpaste weren’t included. And don’t miss visiting the deer farm—the deer are simply magical :D

I really enjoyed it. A great tour for active people.

Kamchatka is magnificent.

My friend and I really enjoyed it, we discovered new places, delicious dishes, and local specialties!

I am very happy with the tour! Everything was great: we stayed at the "Suschevsky by Safmar" Hotel, conveniently located near the Rizhskaya metro station, making it easy to get anywhere in the city. The excursions were informative and interesting, and we visited some truly beautiful places. The sightseeing buses were comfortable, and the guides were very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed Lyuba, she is truly an expert on the city!

The tour was truly impressive, filled with positive emotions—beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and a friendly team. We took a long time to choose this tour, and it turned out to be the perfect decision.

From June 20 to June 29, 2024, we journeyed from Arshan to Lake Baikal, and the experience left us with unforgettable memories of the stunning nature of Buryatia and Lake Baikal. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as it featured a rich variety of natural and historical landmarks, including the Circum–Baikal railway, the Taltsy Museum, Olkhon Island, and more.

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!

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.

I really enjoyed everything, the guides were excellent (especially Oleg and Vyacheslav), truly passionate about their work and great storytellers who shared fascinating details. The places we visited were simply amazing, and I was very lucky to have such a great group . The only thing I didn’t like much was the "Camellia" Hotel, the rooms weren’t cleaned, and the staff came in without warning (even though they could have called first). But that didn’t spoil the trip at all

The tour program was as informative as possible, with excellent work by the guide and reliable transport. The hotel was good, recently renovated, and had a washing machine. There were some concerns about cleanliness, but I appreciate the honesty.

There was so much interesting information that it never got boring! Lots of great impressions and positive emotions!

I really enjoyed the tour. We visited many incredible locations, including stunning volcanoes, a waterfall, and the ocean. The food was delicious and filling – we even got to enjoy caviar and fish. The hotel was well-equipped and provided all the necessary amenities.

I had a wonderful “Weekend in Krasnoyarsk”! In just four days, I completely fell in love with this city and its stunning surroundings. Many thanks to our guides, Inna and Andrei. I really appreciated how the tour focused on the unique character and authenticity of the region, the information was engaging and felt very genuine. I’m not attaching any photos, as they simply can’t capture the beauty or the power of the magnificent nature of the Krasnoyarsk Region

The tour exceeded all expectations. Lake Baikal has truly captured my heart. I witnessed incredible beauty and felt recharged with an energy I couldn't have imagined. In just ten days, you can fully experience the essence of Lake Baikal. If you're looking to reset and rejuvenate, this is the place to go.

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!

A well-organized tour with the chance to experience the unique nature of Sakhalin and Iturup, topped off with unforgettable picnics by the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk.

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.

Amazing tour! Interesting. Rich. Well-balanced. The itinerary is perfectly packed. In just a short time, you get to see the main landmarks and highlights. And of course, the stunning nature of Karelia - an incredible blend of water, forests, and open spaces! A lifetime wouldn’t be enough to truly discover the Russian North, but the Holy Triangle tour is a perfect place to start :)

The excellent tour “Arkhangelsk – Gateway to the Arctic” was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the city of Arkhangelsk. Everything was perfectly organized, our driver, Herman, was excellent, and our guide, Marina, from the host company, was truly outstanding. She’s a real professional with a pleasant voice, whose love for her homeland shines through her deep knowledge of the history of Arkhangelsk and Pomorye. Thanks to Marina’s stories, my husband and I fell in love with this region, and we highly recommend everyone to visit it.
