Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 4

A trip to Kamchatka is a unique experience in itself.... I was very pleased that the tour was well-organized, carefully planned, and exactly as described.. the only exception was the bears—we didn’t get to see any—and the weather, which was mostly foggy and rainy.. Of course, the tour operators can’t control that, so it’s not really a complaint... :) Spotting a bear would have been a lucky bonus, and the weather is always unpredictable, especially with the Pacific Ocean being so temperamental..Overall, the guides did an excellent job .. They were attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.. They were also incredibly kind and helpful.. The accommodations, by the way, were very comfortable...

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.

Our trip to the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia took place at the beginning of July. We visited Olkhon Island, explored the Tunka Valley in Buryatia, and took a ride on the Circum-Baikal Railway. Thank you for the excellent organization of the tour. We were pleased with everything: the transportation, the hotels (especially the value for money), and the impeccable work of the guides. A special thanks for the wonderful weather throughout the trip! We hope this is just the beginning of our travels with 'Big Country'!

Good afternoon! I'm still full of impressions and absolutely delighted. Huge thanks to Olga — she did a fantastic job bringing together such a great team and creating such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Truly one of the best vacations I've ever had

Every detail of the trip was carefully planned, we were absolutely thrilled!! The food was fantastic too! Thank you!

An excellent tour with a well-rounded itinerary, knowledgeable guides, and fantastic food. I truly enjoyed every part of it!

I absolutely loved the tour program – 100%! We had 6 amazing days, and it was honestly hard to say goodbye at the end😅 Our guide was the best – super knowledgeable, engaging, and just really easy to talk to😌 His jokes were unforgettable😅😂 We visited some of the most beautiful places in the Caucasus, enjoyed delicious local food, and just had an all-around fantastic time!

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!

I really enjoyed the tour and appreciated how well it was organized. The excursions and hikes were interesting and varied. We also visited the Rufabgo waterfalls — that was the toughest hike, but well worth it. I especially loved the Azish Cave and the hike to the snowfields in the Lago-Naki plateau — the scenery was breathtaking. We stayed at the GD Sofia guesthouse, which was lovely. My only minor complaint is that there wasn’t a wardrobe in the room. The homemade meals were delicious — three times a day, with different dishes every time, all freshly and lovingly prepared. I also really enjoyed the thermal springs at Psygups: spacious pools with various massage jets, plus juniper and salt saunas on site. It was incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating.

The tour, the location, the camp, the nature — all absolutely amazing, full of energy 👍 The managers have done a great job selecting the team — the admins and guides are incredibly positive, knowledgeable, and experienced :) Igor, Elena, Sergey, and Mikhail — just fantastic, one love :) Easily 100 out of 100, or even more!!! 1 small note: the dry rations and sausages (like bacon and frankfurters) could be of better quality. There's variety, which is great, but the quality could definitely be improved. Also, it would be nice to have more types of cheese :)
