The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. The program was rich and engaging, without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. A special thanks to our guide Inna — her excursions were interesting, captivating, and full of valuable insights!! We only regret one thing: the weather didn’t allow us to climb the 'Grandfather’s Shoulder'. However, Andrey’s philosophical perspective on "Stolbism" offered a unique and thought-provoking way to understand this phenomenon. Thank you for a wonderful tour!!
