    The organization of the tour was excellent. However, there was one downside: on the last day, the departure was scheduled for seven in the morning, and the group had to leave without breakfast. This isn’t our first trip, and in similar situations, we’ve usually been provided with packed meals. Unfortunately, this time that didn’t happen, and the hotel breakfast also starts at seven.

    We really enjoyed it, and we were lucky with the weather too. Ruslan, who accompanied our group, was outstanding—truly top-notch! He made everything interesting, easygoing, and highly informative. Thank you, Ruslan, and thanks to the entire hosting team as well. Everything was fantastic!
