Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 7

I really enjoyed the tour. Everything was planned out, so there was no need to come up with your own itinerary. The accommodation was comfortable and set in a beautiful location.

The tour was impeccably organized. Galina, our guide, demonstrated excellent knowledge of Sakhalin's history and provided clear, thoughtful answers to all our questions. The team went above and beyond, offering helpful tips on where to eat, which museums to visit, and where to shop for souvenirs, seafood, and imported goods. The dinners were exceptionally well-planned—always delicious, creative, and beautifully presented. On Iturup, we had a less experienced guide, but we were told this was due to the early season. Instead, we focused on enjoying the island's stunning natural beauty. Every excursion was flawlessly coordinated, with safe and comfortable transportation. As for accommodations, be aware of some specifics: at the Komandor Hotel, if you’re on the 5th floor, you may hear noise from the bar on the 6th floor late into the night. It’s best to request a different floor when checking in. Guests at the Gagarin Hotel have also reported noise issues. By contrast, the Belka Hotel is described as quiet and cozy, and the Palace Hotel lives up to its star rating. On Iturup, you’ll stay in a guesthouse where shower gel and shampoo aren’t provided, and you’ll be asked to remove your shoes at the entrance. While this might feel unfamiliar to some, it’s best to be prepared. If you won’t be hiking on Kunashir, you can leave trekking poles off your packing list. All in all, Sakhalin and the Kuriles are breathtakingly beautiful. Just bring a good attitude and enjoy! A big thanks to the team for showcasing this region in all its splendor.

Beautifully selected locations, comfortable transportation and accommodation. The true highlight of the tour was our guide, Madina — special thanks to her.

From June 24 to June 30, 2024, we went on a tour of Karelia+the Solovki Islands. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the stories we heard were fascinating. Visiting Solovki with our guide Yuri left a lasting impression. I’d love to go back.

The tour was well organized. Apart from a few minor issues, mostly due to the weather on one of the days, everything went smoothly. The guides were excellent; they not only knew the places well but clearly loved them too, which made their stories even more engaging.

The Kamchatka in June tour will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was truly unforgettable—breathtaking views of unparalleled beauty and an abundance of unforgettable experiences!

An amazing tour; in just 5 days, we managed to see all the top spots in Dagestan, take stunning photos, and dive into the local culture! We explored the unforgettable Sulak Canyon — its breathtaking beauty left us speechless 🏞️. We visited the Sarykum Dune, where we felt completely transported into a desert atmosphere 🌵🌅 leaving all worries behind. In the village of Goor, we had a chance to dress in traditional outfits and took some really cool photos! At several viewpoints along the way, we could also try on national costumes and truly feel like mountain locals! ⛰️

Dagestan is a love that lasts forever ❤️ I absolutely loved everything — the experience not only met but exceeded my expectations 🙏 Huge thanks to our guide Altukhan and our driver Ahmed for making these five days truly unforgettable🔥

I loved everything! The program was delivered exactly as promised. The tour was expertly planned—well-paced and not overwhelming, with every excursion thoughtfully organized.

It’s hard to put this tour into words — it was absolutely magical from start to finish. The logistics were incredibly well thought out, and everything ran smoothly. The guides were not only knowledgeable about the places we visited, but also genuinely passionate, and they knew exactly how to connect with every participant — even the more demanding ones. The scale of coordination, from the number of people and vehicles involved to the seamless execution, is honestly worth far more than the 79500 we paid for 10 days. It felt like being at an adult version of summer camp — from day one, you’re guided with care, and every detail is handled for you. You completely immerse yourself in nature, and whenever you need anything, help is readily available with a smile. In short, the team goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect — and then some.

Pure delight! The experience fully lived up to our expectations—and even exceeded them! We're so grateful to our guides, Madina and Ruben, for their care, attention to every detail, and subtle sense of humor! You could truly feel their deep love for their homeland and their passion for sharing it with us!

I’d like to thank the providers and guides for an incredible tour. It was rich in experiences and meticulously planned down to the smallest detail. The breathtaking nature of Karelia and Solovki, combined with fascinating stories and insights from guides who genuinely love their homeland, made this trip truly outstanding!

The tour was excellently and thoughtfully organized — everything was ready exactly when needed. Our guide Sergey was truly outstanding. He didn’t just share facts and historical figures, but also offered thoughtful interpretations of their actions and the changes of the time. We had a wonderful and enriching experience!

This was my first time taking a trip like this. Even before departure, the tour operator was very attentive, everything was clearly explained and well-organized. We received all the information we needed right on time. The tour took us through a beautiful region and was led by true professionals who genuinely love what they do. Throughout the trip, we felt well cared for and supported every step of the way.

This was our first time traveling with a tour, and we had anticipated some hiccups with the guides, meals, or accommodations. But none of that happened—we were completely satisfied with everything. The program was well-detailed, and we managed to follow it closely despite some changes in the weather, though we were fortunate in that regard as well. The tour was engaging and moderately demanding. For some elderly participants, it was admittedly a bit challenging at times, but we simply took breaks and waited when needed.

Huge thanks to our amazing guide Ekaterina and our driver Zamir, who made our introduction to Dagestan both comfortable and truly fascinating. The only stop I would personally skip is the dune, it didn’t quite stand out compared to the rest of the trip.

A well-organized and enjoyable tour! I loved everything about it and learned so much about the Altai Mountains. I definitely want to come back and explore even more places! The food and accommodations in the guesthouses were excellent. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and I’ll gladly book with your company again!

Good afternoon! 🌞 Thank you so much for organizing the tour and assisting me with purchasing tickets 🎫. Overall, the tour was fantastic—despite the rainy weather. In Arshan, the rain actually added a pleasant atmosphere. I came away with so many positive impressions. I enjoyed everything—well, except for the weather :D but, of course, that’s beyond your control! 😊

I'm at a loss for words — absolutely thrilled!!! Everything was organized to the highest standard!!! Ekaterina is the best guide!!! The experience was beautiful, engaging, and truly unforgettable!!!

An amazing tour! Digoria completely won me over with its stunning beauty! Thanks to the excellent organization, I was able to fully enjoy the breathtaking views and fascinating routes! Everything was thoughtfully planned, and I truly loved every moment. I came back full of positive energy and unforgettable impressions! Now I’m dreaming of experiencing Digoria in the winter 🙂
