Tourists reviews of vacations in Russia - Page 9

5 wonderful days in Kamchatka! This was our first experience visiting such a remote region, and everything was perfectly organized right from the booking stage. Thanks to Big Country, we’re already planning our next tour for September. Kamchatka is stunning, awe-inspiring, full of mosquitoes, but incredibly delicious and unforgettable.

There were so many impressions, but one thing became clear — three days just isn’t enough! A big thank you to our guide Ilya for making our leisure time so engaging, and to our driver Dmitry on Olkhon for his unforgettable stories about the area and the island’s history through the eyes of the locals. It was fantastic!

I really appreciated how the program was structured: the tour team allowed free time during each excursion for lunch, shopping for souvenirs, and taking photos. I also enjoyed staying at the Sokroma Library. It was fascinating to see the front door and 19th-century houses up close. Everything was conveniently located and easily accessible.

The tour was fantastic. Every day was packed with activities and full of interesting experiences. Our guide, Lyubov, was an outstanding professional, making each excursion both enjoyable and informative.

The tour was fantastic. Very interesting and informative.

I am very happy with the tour! Everything was great: we stayed at the "Suschevsky by Safmar" Hotel, conveniently located near the Rizhskaya metro station, making it easy to get anywhere in the city. The excursions were informative and interesting, and we visited some truly beautiful places. The sightseeing buses were comfortable, and the guides were very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed Lyuba, she is truly an expert on the city!

The tour program was as informative as possible, with excellent work by the guide and reliable transport. The hotel was good, recently renovated, and had a washing machine. There were some concerns about cleanliness, but I appreciate the honesty.

Everything was very well organized.

An engaging and well-thought-out program, enjoyable not only for children but also for parents. The tour was well-organized, with a well-maintained schedule. The buses were comfortable, and the food was plentiful and varied. The Moscow Hotel, where we stayed, was clean, cozy, and conveniently located. Our guide, Anna, was attentive and great with the children, making the beauty of St. Petersburg come alive for them.

The Classic St. Petersburg for 7 Days tour was an incredible experience! When I first booked it, I was quite anxious—I had no idea what to expect or how everything would turn out. But as soon as I arrived at the hotel, I was warmly greeted in the lobby by our guide, Marina. She quickly found my name on the list, handed me the tour itinerary, shared some insights about the city, and even gave me a beautiful pocket-sized map of St. Petersburg. Throughout the entire trip, Marina took great care of every participant. She told fascinating stories about the city, provided historical context for everything we saw, and gave excellent recommendations on where to go and what to do after the scheduled excursions. It was clear how much she loves St. Petersburg and how eager she was to show us as many remarkable and meaningful places as possible. The tour was flawlessly organized, with every aspect of the itinerary carried out in full. And thanks to our guide, we ended up seeing and learning far more about St. Petersburg than we had originally expected. An unforgettable experience.

I highly recommend this tour to everyone. The organization was excellent. We chose a hotel in Moscow with clean rooms and friendly staff. The breakfasts were so hearty, they felt more like lunch. The tour bus was comfortable and air-conditioned. The Classic Petersburg tour provided a great overview of the city's history and the country as a whole. Our guide, Lyudmila, was engaging and knowledgeable, making the experience truly enjoyable while ensuring every guest felt taken care of. We arrived by car, and upon check-in, the hotel staff helpfully advised us on where to park for free. Everything was perfect, there was nothing to complain about. Even the weather was on our side. My family and I were absolutely satisfied. Explore our beautiful country, this tour operator is truly reliable.

Hello! We recently returned from our "Moscow – Day by Day: A 7-Day Journey" tour, and we loved every moment of it. The hotel was a great choice. Conveniently located near a subway station, shops, cafés, and nice walking areas. The food at the hotel was excellent, and I was very happy with the meals. The excursions were well-planned, allowing time to sleep in the morning, enjoy the tours, and still have free time to relax or take an evening stroll. The agency’s team was always available, ready to assist, answer questions, and provide guidance. A big thank you. This trip was absolutely fantastic!

The tour is exceptionally well-organized—everything runs smoothly and on schedule! :) The hotels are comfortable, and the daily programs are incredibly engaging. The guide’s stories are captivating, making it easy to immerse yourself in the rich history of the beautiful city of St. Petersburg.

I enjoyed everything: the stunning fountains of Peterhof, Gatchina, Tsarskoye Selo, and the sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg—both by bus and by boat to the Gulf of Finland. The bus was punctual and air-conditioned. There was plenty of free time to explore the parks at a comfortable pace.

Overall, I really enjoyed the trip. The guides were polite, and the hotels were comfortable.

The tour was fantastic, exciting, engaging, and full of energy. There was a guide for 5 tourists, accompanying the tour!

The tour was fantastic! Great accommodation, excellent location, and well-organized excursions. A special thanks to the professional and knowledgeable guides!

I was buying a tour for my son and a family friend. The tour was eventful and interesting, the places were magical and everything, in general, the experience was successful. The route is cool!

A huge thank you to all the tour team. Special thanks to the drivers, who made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. Everything was perfectly arranged and ran smoothly. The guides were outstanding—knowledgeable and engaging, with a well-structured and immersive presentation of the material. A special thank you to S.R., who treated us to unforgettable views of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. Her storytelling masterfully combined breathtaking works of art with historical narratives, delivered in a calm and unobtrusive manner. My deepest respect for the passion and dedication to your profession.

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.
