Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 16

Your team really knows what it's doing. The Scarlet Sails tour was thoughtfully designed and flawlessly carried out. The program was full of memorable moments, and the guide worked with real dedication. The hotel and the document preparation were definitely at a 4* level. Thank you so much. I’d gladly take this tour again!

A very full and interesting program. We spent our vacation on a tour in Karelia and truly enjoyed it 100%. Even though it was a very active trip, it was still fascinating, informative, and beautiful. The hotel, meals, excursions, and guide, everything was excellent!!! Thank you for a wonderful time!!! We’re planning a Golden Ring tour next year and will definitely book with you again.

An engaging and well-thought-out program, enjoyable not only for children but also for parents. The tour was well-organized, with a well-maintained schedule. The buses were comfortable, and the food was plentiful and varied. The Moscow Hotel, where we stayed, was clean, cozy, and conveniently located. Our guide, Anna, was attentive and great with the children, making the beauty of St. Petersburg come alive for them.

Good day, everyone! Everything was very well organized! I really enjoyed the excursions, the guides shared so much interesting information! The hotel was wonderful, and the breakfasts were delicious! Many thanks! We’ll definitely be back 🌹

Stunning landscapes, incredible natural beauty and a sense of ancient history, all harmoniously reflected in the architecture. We really enjoyed the full program and the warm, friendly atmosphere.

Very beautiful nature, incredible places

Overall, I enjoyed the tour. Everything promised in the program was delivered. I especially liked the folklore show in Vladimir and the interactive "Around the Stove" experience in Kostroma. I did lower my rating by 1 point because, in addition to the general tours of the monasteries, churches, and cathedrals, I would have liked the opportunity to visit local museums, especially art galleries or applied arts exhibits.

Absolutely delighted. The tour met all my expectations. Our guide Tatiana was calm, knowledgeable, and shared lots of fascinating information about each city and its history. All the guides were true professionals. Thank you.

I booked this tour for my son, and I’m writing based on his impressions! He was very happy with everything, the organization was clear, and the program itself was interesting, though definitely meant for those who are physically fit! He loves extreme activities, so it was perfect for him! The mountain campsite is located in the forest, it wasn’t hot there, the cabins were cozy, and the food was hearty and tasty! His only regret is that the tour was just 5 days, he wished he could have stayed longer! He might even do it again in the fall!

Well organized tour, beautiful natural spots, a laid-back guide, Magomed, and well-planned meals. The hotel was perfectly adequate for an overnight stay.

Dagestan is a stunning region. We’re really glad we chose a tour with Big Country. Everything was well organized and coordinated on site. I especially appreciated that the group was small, it made traveling together with our driver-guide much more comfortable. A special thank-you to our guide, Mahammad, for the warm welcome and genuine hospitality. The homemade food and the rich excursion program were fantastic. The only thing I’d reconsider is arranging overnight stays in different locations when heading deeper into the mountains, returning to the same place each time took a lot of time and energy.

I went on the "In the Far West of Russia" tour, and really enjoyed it! The itinerary was interesting, everything was extremely well organized, and the guides were true professionals. I stayed at the "Tourist" Hotel and had a great experience: friendly staff, clean rooms, and good breakfasts. Many thanks to the t/o "Big Country" and the local team.

I absolutely loved everything! The places were unforgettable, and we managed to see so much in just four days.

Thank you so much for the incredible experience!! I loved absolutely everything, from the tour operator's excellent organization to Irina's exceptional guiding. A big thanks to her for the amazing excursions!!

I really enjoyed the tour! Many thanks to our guide Ruslan for his professionalism and for all the fascinating stories about Dagestan, its traditions, and its history. Throughout the trip I got to see incredibly beautiful places, and the itinerary was arranged so well that each day felt even more impressive than the last. Ruslan also handled any issues that came up during the tour quickly and efficiently, including those related to meals. Since I don’t eat spicy food, he arranged with the kitchen to prepare my dishes without any hot seasonings. I really appreciated that! We stayed in guesthouses with gorgeous mountain views, very cozy and comfortable.

My first trip to Altai! In just a short time, we got a taste of everything. The nature, the weather, the landscapes. The organization was great! I would’ve loved to see more of the mountains and the R256 Chuya highway, but that’s part of other tours... Still, this trip helped us figure out which routes we want to take next, ones that focus more on the mountain regions.

The tour was wonderful, with a very full and varied program. We visited Kizhi, Valaam, Ruskeala Mountain Park, the White Sea petroglyphs, and spent 2 days on the Solovetsky Islands. The white nights and great weather made it even more special. All the hotels were excellent, and the food was very good. The organization was top-notch , everything ran smoothly and without any issues. We were very happy with the trip.

The Classic St. Petersburg for 7 Days tour was an incredible experience! When I first booked it, I was quite anxious—I had no idea what to expect or how everything would turn out. But as soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was warmly greeted in the lobby by our guide, Marina. She quickly found my name on the list, handed me the tour itinerary, shared some insights about the city, and even gave me a beautiful pocket-sized map of St. Petersburg. Throughout the entire trip, Marina took great care of every participant. She told fascinating stories about the city, provided historical context for everything we saw, and gave excellent recommendations on where to go and what to do after the scheduled excursions. It was clear how much she loves St. Petersburg and how eager she was to show us as many remarkable and meaningful places as possible. The tour was flawlessly organized, with every aspect of the itinerary carried out in full. And thanks to our guide, we ended up seeing and learning far more about St. Petersburg than we had originally expected. An unforgettable experience.

The Mysterious Ossetia tour has a very rich and engaging program, I highly recommend it. North Ossetia is full of incredibly hospitable people and delicious food . The excursion to the Digoria Gorge impressed me the most.

We took the Small Golden Ring tour from June 29 to July 2, 2024. We really enjoyed everything, the organization was excellent and the guide was fantastic. I’d recommend bringing some food with you for the trip.
