Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia

A fantastic tour with excellent organization. First and foremost, I want to highlight the coordinator, Irina, who was always available and helped arrange the most convenient arrival and departure options. The guides were outstanding as well! I never imagined that just four days could be so refreshing. The mountain scenery is truly magical. I will definitely come back. Huge thanks to all the tour managers and guides—this trip was a perfect 10 out of 10

The Sakhalin-Iturup trip was absolutely incredible! The islands' natural beauty is truly captivating. When you're surrounded by such untouched wilderness, everything else fades away. It would be a shame if, as so often happens, human activity eventually ruins it.

It was a great experience, for beginners, rafting on the lower Katun is just right, but if you're an experienced traveler, go for the upper or middle sections. The weather in July was unpredictable and quite chilly—warm clothes and a good jacket really came in handy. I enjoyed everything :D Don't forget to bring insect repellent :)

Great tour!

I was on this tour from 07/19/24 to 07/21/24, and it surpassed all my expectations. The landscape was incredibly varied: from temperate forests to northern woods, boreal forests, and open tundra. The beauty of this place is breathtaking and awe-inspiring. The tundra, so complex and mysterious, defies capture in any photograph—it truly has to be experienced firsthand :) I was captivated by the raw, majestic power of the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean. The water is freezing, crystal clear, and a stunning sea-green 😊. The vast, gentle hills and rocky landscapes sometimes make you feel like you’re on another planet. And the smells! :) The tundra and ocean carry scents as vibrant as the colors around them—it’s unforgettable :) The polar day was something I’d never seen before :) The sun doesn’t set at all, which feels so unusual but amazing :) And of course, the animals and sea life! :) Meeting whales and watching them in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure :) The soft noses and kind, gentle eyes of the reindeer will stay with me forever. I also have to mention the local cuisine, especially the fish. Normally, I’m not a big fan, but this trip made me rethink that entirely :) If you want to immerse yourself in another world and experience something truly unique, you absolutely need to visit the north.

I really enjoyed it, even though the tour wasn’t very active—but that was expected :D

I want to thank the providers of the Southern Dagestan tour! These 5 days were not just a physical getaway but also a true retreat for the soul. If you're visiting the region for the first time, I highly recommend taking a guided tour! It’s the best way to experience the stunning landscapes, immerse yourself in local traditions, savor traditional cuisine, and soak in the authentic atmosphere. The waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking! Our guide, Anya, was fantastic—huge thanks to her! She shared information in a fascinating and engaging way, keeping it concise and truly valuable.

An unforgettable tour!🔥 My dream of seeing whales finally came true! It was incredible 💫 Besides the whales, I got to see seals, visit a traditional village with reindeer, and even feed deer, yaks, and donkeys. The goats really made my day—they’ll give you a ‘paw’ for a carrot! 😂

Kamchatka! This word always sounded so mysterious, enticing, almost unreal to me. I’m so glad I happened to see on social media that people actually travel there—it's possible! My first tour, 'Water and Flame,' was just the spark I needed. The idea of exploring Kamchatka through this very program lit me up, and I have no regrets! The itinerary is thoughtfully planned for balanced activity levels and variety. There’s no overload, but never a dull moment either. The tour also offered different accommodation options to fit any budget, which was super convenient.

I really enjoyed the tour and will definitely recommend it to my friends 👍🏻 The daily excursions were well-paced and never felt exhausting, everything was easygoing and positive. The guides were true professionals, and the organization was excellent! Overall, I took away so many great impressions from the Kaliningrad region ❤

Good afternoon! We’d like to extend a huge thank you to all the organizers of the “Taste of Lake Baikal” tour, which we enjoyed from July 15 to July 18. The entire experience was flawlessly arranged, with every detail thoughtfully considered! Special thanks to manager Kirill, who was always available and took excellent care of us throughout the trip. Our group was small—just five people—which was a real advantage for us as travelers! We felt like VIPs in Irkutsk! Our guides, Alyona and driver Roman Kondratiev, shared so much about the history of Irkutsk and the incredible places we visited. Their laid-back storytelling kept it interesting, giving us insights that most tourists don’t get. The choice to use a car for such a small group was perfect—flexible, comfortable, and easy to hear everything. From the initial greeting to our final departure, we were so well looked after. The program was rich and engaging without a single wasted moment! Irkutsk is a beautiful city, full of amazing people and historic sites, and we were fortunate to have enthusiastic guides who truly love what they do. We highly recommend this tour to everyone! It left us with the very best memories.

The tour was incredibly interesting, featuring the top attractions of Sakhalin and a flight to the largest island of the Kuril chain – Iturup. On Iturup, you can expect breathtaking, almost otherworldly landscapes, though the level of service is quite basic. The lack of proper roads was offset by transportation in rugged Ural trucks and the skill of a professional driver :) The tour company put in a lot of effort, and overall, we were very satisfied. The dinners by the shores of the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean were simply wonderful. A free day gave us the chance to explore exactly the places we had dreamed of visiting in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk – the Chekhov Book Museum (an absolute must-see!) and the Regional Museum. On Sakhalin, we also visited Tikhaya Bay, Cape Velikan (Giant), and Bird Cape, and enjoyed a boat trip to the Aniva Lighthouse. On Iturup, highlights included the Yankito Plateau, the White and Black Rocks, and the geysers of the Baransky Volcano. If you choose this tour, you’ll come away with unforgettable memories! During our trip from June 10 to July 20, 2024, we found that trekking sneakers were sufficient (no trekking poles needed), and a waterproof, windproof jacket with a hood (a raincoat is essential!) was a must. We even managed to swim in the Sea of Okhotsk! :D

It was an amazing trip! In just four days, we experienced so many emotions—it felt like we’d been traveling for a month! The tour itself was packed, with early starts each day leading to new adventures, new locations, and even new climate zones! We did a lot of hiking, went boating, spotted whales and foxes, and enjoyed seafood and venison! Every evening, we came back exhausted but happy! I really appreciated how well-organized the tour was—the schedule was intense, but there was still enough time for everything!

An incredible three-day trip to Sakhalin, Kunashir and Shikotan!!! The tour was exceptionally well-organized! Each day brought breathtaking landscapes unlike anything we've seen before! No two days were the same!! We enjoyed delicious crabs, shrimp, scallops and a variety of other treats! We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend visiting these stunning islands!! Absolutely unforgettable!!!

I really enjoyed the tour! Everything was well-organized, and in just a few days, we were able to take in the stunning beauty of Karelia and gain a deeper understanding of its history. A big thank you to all the providers.

Rafting on the Shuya River from July 8, 5 days. Saying Wow!, super!, or amazing! doesn’t even do it justice. In just 5 days, it felt like a COMPLETE reset! It’s as if a whole month had passed, thanks to the nonstop flow of incredible experiences and unforgettable moments. The organization was top-notch! Everything was well-planned and seamless! The care for each participant, the equipment, the food, the instructions, and the safety measures—absolutely outstanding! Huge thanks to SERGEY, OLEG, ANATOLY for their professionalism, great sense of humor, and kind hearts! You guys are the best!

I absolutely loved everything - the program, the food, and our guide Anton. The highlight of the trip was definitely our journey along the Mishoko River and its stunning waterfalls.

A fantastic tour, we visited Karelia’s main attractions, including Valaam, Kizhi, and Ruskeala. The tour is suitable for all ages, just make sure to bring comfortable shoes and an umbrella/raincoat. The hotels and buses were very comfortable.

The trip to Sakhalin and Iturup was an unforgettable experience. The nature and fresh air were absolutely magical! A special thanks to the hosts for their excellent organization—everything from the welcome to the guidance and accommodation was top-notch.

Thank you for the excellent organization of the tour. The program was engaging, and every detail was well thought out. Special thanks to the guides and chefs. This tour gave us the chance to experience Kamchatka from many different angles.
