    I really enjoyed the tour. Our main guide, Marina, as well as the excursion guides, were fantastic. You could tell they truly love what they do and are great at it. I also appreciated our driver — very professional. We were lucky to have such a great group: everyone was friendly, cohesive, and well-organized. It was also nice to see people from across the former Soviet Union — it shows that those connections still remain. The tour was very well organized: meals, hotel check-ins, and excursions all went smoothly. Everything was excellent, and I’m left with so many wonderful impressions ! A big thank you to the entire tour team.
