Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 3

I'd really like to share my impressions after a 10-day tour of the Caucasus. I just returned on July 19, 2024 I took what is probably the most extensive tour: “ This is the Caucasus. A Sightseeing Tour of Five Republics (Wednesday Arrival)” I’m absolutely thrilled with the trip. The places we visited were stunning, the scenery breathtaking!!! I highly recommend it to anyone ready for 10 days of active travel! That said, it might be even better to split it into 2 shorter parts for a more relaxed experience, on some days, especially in 40°C heat, the schedule felt a bit too intense What impressed me most were Dagestan and Mount Elbrus. The mountains, nature, and guides were all fantastic. No complaints whatsoever

the tour was packed with experiences, we saw and learned so many new things. thank you very much.

It was wonderful, thank you! :)

Good afternoon, I enjoyed everything, the organization and tour program were excellent. I’d especially like to highlight our guide, Vadim 👍

We traveled at the end of May and loved EVERY moment! Excellent organization, an interesting program, guides, each with their own unique style, comfortable transport, and delicious food! My son even said, "Why didn’t we go on trips like this before?" :)

The Top 3 Tour is wonderfully compact and incredibly informative. In a short time, I was able to see, experience, and learn so much. I immersed myself in Russian history, explored architectural monuments, and glimpsed the medieval era. Visiting Vyborg and Karelia left an unforgettable impression, and St. Petersburg will forever hold a special place in my heart. I'm so glad I stumbled upon the Big Country website and that this specific tour caught my attention. Thank you so much, truly thank you 💕!!!!!

Not even the rainy weather could dampen the wonderful impression Arkhangelsk and its surroundings left on us. The guides were excellent, the hotel was great, and the tour was very well organized. The nature was stunning, and we learned a lot about our vast country.

Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. The excursions were both interesting and informative, led by guides from the host team who are true professionals. At the Nautilus Hotel, they kindly saved dinner for us whenever we returned late from tours. Unforgettable impressions from the tour – a solid 5 out of 5.

Good afternoon! Our tour took place from July 8 to 13, 2024, with a group of 14 people. All planned activities were carried out, and despite the weather conditions, there were no major disruptions. The staff was professional and well-prepared, and both accommodation and meals were well organized. There were a few minor issues: the actual itinerary differed slightly from what was stated in the contract, and some excursions were delayed due to boat malfunctions and schedule changes. Nevertheless, we were able to see everything we had hoped for.

We’ve just returned from an amazing trip to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. There is beauty and vibrancy in everything: the nature, the ocean, the volcanoes, the weather, and, of course, the people. The program was incredibly diverse, with each day offering something unique and full of unforgettable experiences.

We took the Caucasian Mosaic tour from July 3 to July 7 and really enjoyed it. The itinerary was interesting, well-rounded, and diverse, combining mountains, cities, and cultural and historical landmarks. Mountain trips were nicely balanced with more urban sightseeing routes.

Everything went smoothly, the route was perfectly planned, and I got to visit many interesting and beautiful places. I would definitely do this tour again

I enjoyed every moment of it. Everything was perfectly organized: clear, punctual, and well thought-out. The mountain hotel was charming, with outstanding service. I highly recommend this tour, the experience exceeded all my expectations! Beautiful nature and warm, welcoming people made it even more special.

Thank you for organizing the ‘Protected Astrakhan’ tour (July 11–15)! We had a fantastic time! 🌸 So many amazing impressions and great photos 👍🏻🙂 I highly recommend visiting👍🏻🙂...just incredible (Lotus fields, Mount Bogdo, Lake Baskunchak, healing mud, Sarai Batu, and the biosphere reserve)...

The tour program is varied, with well-thought-out and engaging excursions covering a range of themes. The guides are knowledgeable and go beyond just following the set itinerary.

The tour 'Dagestan to the Maximum: All Inclusive' from July 10–14, 2024, was my first time visiting Dagestan — and it exceeded all my expectations. It was a wonderful, adventure-filled trip packed with emotions and unforgettable experiences! The excursions were incredibly informative and offered the chance to witness the breathtaking beauty of the region’s nature.

A great, interesting and full of various activities tour!

My 14-year-old son and I went on a trekking tour for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience. The landscapes, the trails, the team – everything was amazing. And of course, our guide Natasha, with her boundless energy, truly set the tone for this incredible adventure. And the food – the way everything was served – that was a work of art in itself ☀️💛

A very interesting and well-rounded program. Our guide Konstantin was excellent. The trip was truly enriching, I learned so many new and fascinating things. I came home feeling uplifted! I just wish there had been a bit more free time. A longer tour, maybe 8 to 10 days, with a balance of mountain hikes and rest days would have been ideal. Other than that, everything was great!

An amazing tour! Breathtaking nature, stunning mountains, wonderful people, and delicious food! I especially want to highlight our guide, Vladimir — a true professional and someone who genuinely loves his region and the history of his people. The accommodation at the 'Aist' guest house was excellent. Zara, the host, made us feel right at home — her breakfasts and dinners were made with love!
