Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 6

I really enjoyed the tour. It was an exciting and well-organized trip that left me with many positive memories. The program was engaging, and the guides were highly knowledgeable. Highlights included palaces, temples, cathedrals, parks, and gardens adorned with sculptures and fountains, as well as the Peter and Paul Fortress. I never once regretted choosing this tour.

We visited Ryazan on June 29–30, 2024, and really enjoyed the tour. Everything listed in the program was covered. Over the course of two days, we explored the most fascinating sights in Ryazan and its surroundings. Our guide, Natalia, shared insightful information about the city’s history and modern life. The tour organization, accommodation, meals, and transport services were all well handled. We're very satisfied with the trip!

A very eventful tour — we saw all the main sights, each accompanied by a guide. It would be great if the included dinner took place at a local restaurant to better experience the regional cuisine, rather than just being a standard meal. On the last day, it might be worth skipping the climb up Sampo Mountain and instead allowing more time at the Kivach Waterfall — half an hour there just isn’t enough.

I want to sincerely thank the tour providers, guides, and everyone involved - you gave us unforgettable and vivid memories. From June 21 to 25, I traveled with my 10-year-old son, my brother, and his wife on a tour through North Ossetia and Kabardino-Balkaria. We managed to visit the region's main sights in a short amount of time. Transportation was comfortable - air-conditioned minibuses with small groups of 12–14 people. The guides were knowledgeable, engaging, and informative, not only about the places we visited but also about the local culture and history. They answered all our questions with professionalism and warmth - truly smart, friendly young people. In Vladikavkaz, we stayed at the Kadgaron Hotel - clean rooms, everything in working order (plumbing, hot water, AC), and good breakfasts. After North Ossetia, we headed to the Elbrus region, stopping at incredibly scenic spots along the way. The Snow Leopard Hotel didn’t have hot water in the evening, which was disappointing, but it was back by morning. And Elbrus - I have no words. just tears of joy. Pure happiness! Without a doubt, I highly recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed the tour – everything was well organized, our guide Vadim was great, the mountains were stunning, and the nature was truly captivating. I definitely recommend it 👍

June 16–23, 2024 Thank you for organizing a great tour. The accommodation, excursions, and meals (at the Taezhnik base) were all excellent. The food at the Taezhnik restaurant deserves special mention — breakfast and dinner were included, and both were outstanding. The tour program was engaging and well-structured. The guides were passionate and truly dedicated to their work — I’m very grateful to them. It was also very convenient to have a WhatsApp group set up for the tour. All important information was shared there, and any questions were answered quickly and helpfully.

We took part in a jeep tour from July 8 to 11, guided by Vladimir. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience! Everything was organized to the highest standard. Vladimir is a true professional who clearly loves his region and speaks about its history with great respect. His deep pride for Ossetia and the Ossetian people was truly inspiring. We visited places that you won’t find on the internet, sites that you can truly feel the strength and history of. Vladimir was incredibly attentive, kind, patient, and sincere, a true gentleman. We stayed in Tsimiti (Fiagdon) at Zara’s guesthouse. The beauty, coziness, and authentic atmosphere were absolutely wonderful. A surprise excursion from the hosts to their ancestral tower was a highlight, applause and bravo! Their heartfelt story about family history moved us to tears. And the breakfasts and dinners? Pure love!!!!!

Unforgettable impressions from one of the most beautiful regions! We're deeply grateful to Kurban and Atlukhan for introducing us to sunny, welcoming Dagestan and for sharing its customs and rich history with us! We took part in the 'Dagestan to the Maximum' tour from July 1 to 5, 2024 — and it truly lived up to its name! Every detail was thoughtfully organized: hikes through stunning mountain landscapes, visits to both above-ground and underground waterfalls, and so much more. The food and hospitality felt like home — warm, authentic, and absolutely delicious. We were beyond satisfied and have no regrets whatsoever. P.S. due to the climate, mountainous terrain, and the number of hikes involved, the tour can be physically demanding for those aged 55 and over …🤪 But we made it.... And even lost 3 kg along the way 😜

The tour was absolutely wonderful :) A big thank you to the tour team for such a well-planned vacation. It was all positive vibes. Sakhalin will forever hold a special place in my heart – love at first sight, and it’s here to stay.

The "Dagestan to the Maximum" tour truly lived up to its name. In just 5 days, we managed to visit many incredible places. Our guide was energetic and friendly, and the program was dynamic and well-organized. We had the chance to experience the full flavor of the Caucasus, enjoy the stunning variety of Dagestan’s landscapes, and learn a lot about its local traditions and culture. The accommodations were comfortable, with cozy, modern rooms. The traditional cuisine was delicious, though a bit repetitive. Overall, the tour left us with wonderful memories, many thanks to our guide and driver.

The Nizhny Novgorod Summer Tour was fantastic, truly unforgettable. Everything was well-organized, and the schedule was spot on. The guides were all knowledgeable, professional, and very attentive.

My husband and I took this trip together and overall, we really enjoyed it. In our opinion, the tour was well thought out and organized. For a first visit to Karelia, it offers more than enough. What stood out the most? Without a doubt, the stunning natural beauty of Karelia – endless forests, lakes, and rivers. The boat ride across Lake Ladoga to Valaam was unforgettable, as were visits to Kizhi Island, the White Sea coast, and of course, the Solovki. On the Solovetsky Islands, I especially want to mention our guide Yuri – a remarkable person with encyclopedic knowledge, his own thoughtful perspective on historical events, and a clear, engaging way of speaking. It was truly a pleasure to listen to him!. On the way back from the Solovki, we had some rain and a slightly choppy sea, which added a bit of adventure to the trip. A tip for anyone traveling to Karelia: bring a good raincoat and an extra pair of shoes – ideally waterproof :D.. I highly recommend this tour for anyone discovering Karelia for the first time.

I really enjoyed everything. The tour was both interesting and informative, leaving me with so many unforgettable impressions.

Thank you for the wonderful experience! Everything was top-notch. A special thanks to our guide Sergey and to Olga from the admin team for their warm and attentive care!

An incredible vacation — probably one of the best I've ever had, if not the best :) My only regret is that I was only here for a week.

An incredible tour! Sakhalin and Iturup are breathtaking, almost like stepping onto another planet with completely different landscapes. The tour’s organization was excellent—everything was well-planned, seamless, and coordinated. The food prepared during the trip was absolutely delicious. A special mention goes to the guides and staff for their remarkable dedication to the tourists and their work overall. These are truly people who are passionate about what they do—individuals with kind hearts and genuine respect for all living things.

Absolute delight! Flawless organization, professional guides, stunning landscapes, culinary delights, and unforgettable experiences! Thank you so much!

Fantastic tour! Perfect for anyone looking to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The guides were excellent, knowledgeable, responsible, and with a great sense of humor :) Everyone was in high spirits, and meals were always served right on time :D The tour included a scenic boat ride through the skerries, a visit to Pellotsaari Island, and a hike up Hiidenvuori Hill.

We were extremely pleased with how the tour was organized. On the first day, we were delayed on the way and arrived late, but the team kindly waited for us, postponed the tour by two hours, welcomed us in the lobby, and immediately took us on the sightseeing excursion. Special thanks to our guide, Lyubov, who was absolutely outstanding. She led the excursions with great professionalism and expertise. Thank you! Oksana and Angelina, Donetsk

I really enjoyed the tour, especially the days we spent visiting Cheget, Elbrus, and Dombai. It was great that the itinerary alternated between city tours and mountain excursions. The only downside was the Geduko complex — it felt quite run-down. But that's more of an issue for the site's management.
