Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 17

The trip was wonderful, thank you very much!

The tour was fantastic! The weather was a bit unpredictable, but it didn’t dampen the mood or the overall experience. Our guide, Leonid, was incredible! He knew everything—history, traditions, flora, fauna—and was full of energy, always attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we enjoyed our time. We learned so much about the local way of life and even played a traditional board game, which was great fun. Leonid is such a knowledgeable guide 👍👍👍—with him, you feel confident climbing any mountain. The natural scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Before the tour, I was a bit concerned about the food, but it turned out there was no need to worry—everything was excellent. Our group was also amazing, full of positivity and great energy. Thank you for such a refreshing and uplifting experience!

An incredible trip. The organization of all activities was outstanding. Every detail was carefully planned and flawlessly executed. Easily a 10+ rating on a five-point scale.

Everything went great!

I really enjoyed the tour! it was rich in experiences, beautiful, well-organized, and presented in a very engaging way by our guide!

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.
