Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 18

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.

Good afternoon! thank you for the hike along the Ladoga coast from June 28 to June 30. Everything was great and a lot of fun! The route was interesting and not too difficult, making it suitable for beginners and children. Maria was an excellent instructor, and Nikita was a wonderful assistant. They shared many interesting stories and useful information about hiking and the area. We had an amazing group, lots of laughter, great conversations, watching the sunset together, singing songs, and sitting around the campfire… such a warm and memorable experience! We’d be happy to join you again if you develop new routes!

I absolutely loved everything! The hosts and team in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are truly remarkable people—overflowing with kindness, attention, and care. They welcomed me like family, and I’m deeply grateful to them. People like this stay in your heart forever. Sergey, Mikhail, Ivan, Alexandr, Marina, Andrey (and Andrey again! :D), Zhenya, Natasha, Assamedin—thank you so much!!! The tour itself was thoughtfully and comfortably organized. We explored all the most fascinating places to the fullest, and every moment was so incredible that words can’t do it justice. An outstanding tour!!! And yes, Kamchatka is a love that lasts a lifetime...

Everything went great. We absolutely loved Altai❤️ Next time, we’d like to visit Belukha and Lake Teletskoye. Thank you so much! 🙏

We enjoyed everything! The excursions , transfers , and guides were all top-notch. I would especially like to highlight our curator, Tamara, as well as the guides Yekaterina, Yelizaveta, and Albina—unfortunately, we don’t know their last names. The support from the curators, both for the group and individually, was flawless. You’re doing an amazing job! If you come up with any interesting offers in the future, we’ll definitely consider them. Wishing you all the best, and see you next time! 👏👏👏👍

An amazing trip! It will stay in our memories for a long time! The guide was highly professional, the hotels were excellent, and the transfers seamless. We learned so much and made unforgettable memories!

Everything was organized to a high standard. We’re very happy with the experience. Thank you for the excellent tour organization!

A fantastic tour with an engaging program. The only thing I would note is that you need to dedicate a whole day to visit Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo. The tour offers a preview of these locations, but it’s still very interesting, and I don’t regret the time or money spent.

I really enjoyed it! Both the organization and the care provided by our guides, Masha and Nikita, were excellent :)

I highly recommend this tour to everyone. The organization was excellent. We chose a hotel in Moscow with clean rooms and friendly staff. The breakfasts were so hearty, they felt more like lunch. The tour bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. The Classic Petersburg tour provided a great overview of the city's history and the country as a whole. Our guide, Lyudmila, was engaging and knowledgeable, making the experience truly enjoyable while ensuring every guest felt taken care of. We arrived by car, and upon check-in, the hotel staff helpfully advised us on where to park for free. Everything was perfect, there was nothing to complain about. Even the weather was on our side. My family and I were absolutely satisfied. Explore our beautiful country, this tour operator is truly reliable.

A wonderful, eventful tour. We really liked the local guides. The hotel was excellent with absolutely no complaints. The transfers were top-notch.

Overall, the trip left a positive impression. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. It’s a pity that the original tour was changed, but Boldino was interesting as well. I would have preferred to be taken directly to my place of stay on the first day after the tour. I liked the hotel. Thank you.

The accommodation was very comfortable, both in cabins and in tents. The food was delicious and filling. A wide range of gear is available for rent, including tents, trekking poles, and hiking boots. A hairdryer and heater can also be provided upon request. The internet connection was weak and unreliable. The routes were not very diverse: we went through the Bezengi Gorge 2 times and the Mezhergi Gorge 2 times (just on different sides of the gorges), and we never actually reached the glaciers. The host company tends to be overly cautious and cancels routes at the slightest risk, citing safety concerns, even though other trekking clubs were running their planned or alternative routes at the same time.

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🙏👍🤗❤️

Great, a well-organized and engaging program. I even wished for a bit more time to explore some of the sights.

I was very satisfied with the trip. The program was carried out almost in full (one excursion was replaced due to the weather). I came away with many great impressions, and Lake Baikal was especially memorable.
