    I booked my ticket online through the tour operator "Big Country" The process was very clear and user-friendly. I’ve already booked twice. Any questions were answered within 1–2 minutes, and everything — from registration to payment and information — was handled quickly, efficiently, and clearly. I’ll definitely be using "BIG COUNTRY" again in the future.

    The tour was wonderfully organized. Anton, our guide, and Victor, our driver, were true professionals — attentive and caring toward the group. The hotels were comfortable, and the food throughout the tour was excellent👍 The only minor issue was that I would have appreciated receiving all the departure details (like the voucher) a bit earlier — it caused some unnecessary stress beforehand. Overall, an excellent experience!
