Kamchatka is not only a unique region, but for me it is definitely one of the top 10 amazing places in the world in the Nature category. First of all, these are unique people who open this land to visitors and give them the opportunity to breathe life to the fullest, to live a different life. After such trips, your worldview changes, brilliant thoughts come to mind, and you again want to scale the heights of business. Kamchatka emotions remain in memory for a lifetime. For this we thank them, the staff of “Adventure-guide”!

The backpacking/rafting trip on Luhu in August was surprisingly good. A picturesque and shallow river, excellent weather, but most importantly, an excellent instructor, a true professional, Alexey Borodulin. I recommend!
He showed the highest professionalism in organizing the trip: in maintaining the cohesion of a group of people who were previously strangers to each other, and constant high spirits. Despite the extremely high workload and, possibly, fatigue, he fully completed the program planned by the organizers. We always took the camp dishes he prepared on time and with pleasure, in which he seemed to be especially successful (literally all the camp soups, cereals and even delicacies such as pancakes, mulled wine and various pickles were tasty and simply professionally prepared).
He always carefully monitored all the ups and downs on the water, and swam up as soon as the possibility of any misunderstanding arose (the kayak getting stuck, etc.), however, thanks to Alexey’s instructions and advice, no incidents happened during the entire trip.
Special thanks for the camp sauna. Her excellent performance is the full merit of Alexey.

I visited Altai a year ago, and this trip changed my whole life. A week of horse riding and a week of boating. Unreal landscapes, caps of mountains, the sound of stormy rivers, which is so pleasant to fall asleep to, stars in the palm of your hand (close, close, it seems a little more and you can touch them), interaction with such a large and strong animal as a horse and the apogee of the equestrian part - this is, of course, Lake Akkem at the foot of Belukha. The view is stunning. During the day we went on a radial trip to the Valley of Seven Lakes, the water in them is of an extraordinary milky green, emerald, milky white and even seems to be black. And in the evening, a bathhouse at the weather station, you can’t imagine how valuable a bathhouse is after five days of horse riding, it’s a thrill))) (By the way, half of the T-shirts I took were not useful, so don’t overdo it when packing your suitcase. I didn’t take rubber boots with me, I was wearing trekking boots, on the one hand, it’s not so hot in them on a horse, it’s more convenient to walk when dismounting and radial exits, BUT no matter what Gore-tex it is, it won’t withstand 8 hours in the rain, believe me. A down jacket wasn’t useful either. take good, breathable wind protection (Sovtshel), the weather changes dramatically in the mountains. Just in case, take elastic bandages, they help with long-distance horse treks, proven.) And then there was a long, intense and wet trek over a three-thousand-meter pass. The weather quickly deteriorated, BUT during my entire two-week trip there was only one rainy day. We were incredibly lucky. I won’t bore you with a detailed retelling; I’m writing a review, not a novel. The guides and attendants are very wonderful, they will always help and provide delicious food. The food exceeded all my expectations. On the water, the girl guides even pampered us with freshly baked pies. The menu is very varied and tasty. At the base they provide tents, sleeping bags (I recommend bringing your own and a warm one), rubber boots, drybacks, and rain gear. In general, the trip turned out to be unforgettable. Extreme, communication, nature, many nice people. Thanks to the travel agency representative Alexey for this!!!
P.S. If you want more photos or details, write in a personal message, I will be happy to answer.

Great weekend. Going away not for a week, but just for a weekend in the mountains is very cool. It felt like I had been on vacation for a week. Spending a weekend in Moscow or hiking in the mountains cannot be compared. Everything was clearly organized.

A very interesting tour. Dombay is a cult place and filled with history. At the same time, the town is very small and there is no pressure from its promotion. There is no sensory overload from a large number of people, but there is the necessary comfort: restaurants, cable cars, souvenirs and a reliable Internet to immediately show all this to your loved ones. If it is important to stay connected and at the same time be in the wild, where there are no people nearby, then this is the place.
The nature is very beautiful and consists of several mountain floors. In one day you can walk through a gorgeous forest, then through alpine meadows to a glacier and find yourself at an altitude of 3200 meters in the snow.
I was also surprised that everything was quite cheap. For example, a huge package of Dombay herbal tea costs 100 rubles.
An excellent opportunity to completely reboot in three days and return to your business with renewed vigor.

We prepared long before the trip and searched through various tour operators and companies on the internet. We settled on a convenient website with clear information, adventure-guide.ru. We thoroughly discussed with Alexey Yudin the proposed “Dog Sled Safari” tour, it was clear and organized, he found an excellent option with fellow travelers, and it turned out to be quite reasonable in cost. It was nice to feel care and attention. Payment according to the agreement. On site (ethnocomplex “Chochur Muran”, Yakutsk) everything was unforgettable. Meeting, accommodation in an ethno-complex, varied national food, excursions in the surrounding area, a visit to the national theater, and of course – dog sledding. Of course, there were problems, but it didn’t affect us. The staff is attentive and helpful. According to our wishes, changes were made to the schedule of events. The mushers (instructors) are experienced (they have been on long trips). Banya, Siberian tea, various liqueurs. Seeing off to the airport, breakfast on the road. Everything is fine. Thank you.

A sightseeing tour of the Elbrus region during the May holidays left a lot of impressions! The program is rich, all the guides are professionals, and the stories are interesting. We really liked everything! I was especially impressed by the excursion to Elbrus itself. The guide even offered to go snowboarding on the slopes of Elbrus, although this was not part of the program and took some time. Of course, I also remember trekking to the Terskol Gorge, from where there are views of the snowy peaks of the mountains of the Central Caucasus Range. The hotel we checked into was completely satisfactory. And the view from the window was simply magical! Straight to the mountains. In general, everything went well, there were no comments, I recommend this tour to those who want to quickly embrace the immensity and breathe in the fresh mountain air:)

We have already gone on trips 3 times in a year with the Adventure company. 2 of them with children. And we even celebrated New Year on one of the tours. It became one of my best holidays. This already says a lot. And every time I never cease to be amazed by the amazing organization of the tours. How well thought out everything is. After a weekend tour of Karelia, it felt like we had been traveling for a week. The program is intense. If you had to travel a lot, then all this was accompanied by stops in interesting places and excursions or snacks in good establishments. Alexey, the director, seems to attract interesting friends on trips like a magnet. Lots of laughter and fun. I am very glad that I accidentally found you on the site when I was looking for a gift for someone close to me. You met all my expectations one hundred percent and gave us so many emotions. Thank you for being so attentive to detail.

We were on a bike tour for the May holidays with our 12 year old son. Both are delighted. Very beautiful places, wonderful guide-instructor Svetlana, good workload. I liked absolutely everything - the bike rides, excursions to the palaces, kayaking and going down into the cave. A very rich and memorable program. In some places it seemed that the load was above average, as there were a lot of ups and downs. But we managed, our son skated along with the adults and never complained of fatigue. We have a wonderful group, no whiners:)) everyone is active, athletic and positive. We were very lucky with the weather, it was warm and the sun was not shining. It only rained for half a day the entire trip. I would like to say a special thank you to Svetlana - she knows the area very well, was always ready to offer several route options, and prepared very tasty lunches and snacks. By the way, picnics in nature were amazing! In the morning, anyone could run with her and do exercises! It was a great start to the day, although it was not part of the program. In general, Sveta is a jack of all trades! And she’s just a very athletic, pretty and charming girl!
Among the small minuses - I would like the bike park to be newer, but how lucky is anyone? Some of the bikes were good, and some were pretty bad, although everyone was well matched to their height/size.
Hotel accommodation is for the unpretentious:) But we only came there to sleep and relax, so compared to the overall impressions of the tour, these are just trifles. we had fun and interesting. This is the most important thing. Afzal, the owner of the hotel, is a wonderful person and the food was delicious, homemade!
In general, I really liked the tour, the organization was excellent. I highly recommend it!

The idea to go to the Kuril Islands came completely by accident. The search for a suitable tour took more than one day, and in the end I settled on this one because of the opportunity to visit two islands of the Small and Large Kuril chains. The overall impression is that I’m delighted; in the 13 days of the tour I seemed to live for a whole month, or even more! Of course, the weather did not always greet us well and periodically we had to make adjustments to the program, but the tour organizers always have several options in stock. It is also very important for me to stay in hotels according to the program; they are quite comfortable, clean and have everything you need. And of course, good company - we had a group of 12 people, all travelers, very cheerful and interesting conversationalists. It certainly wouldn't have been as much fun without them. My only regret is that I had very little time on Sakhalin, but there is a lot to see there. But that means there will be a reason to return there. I would like to express special gratitude to Adventure-guide for the good work and feedback.

Kamchatka surprised me every day. The trip turned out great. Volcanoes smoke through fumoroles. Space. After Kamchatka, many people write about “internal changes”, the impression is that something similar is possible. The organization was excellent.
A couple of tips:
- Accommodation in tents for several days. So it’s better to master camp life in advance so as not to be embarrassed in Kamchatka.
- Guide Kirill Malakhov did a good job. Try to get to him.

Hello everyone! I finally found the time to write a review about the best vacation of my life. To say that we were absolutely delighted would be an understatement. Emotions were overflowing literally every day of the “Week in Adygea” tour.
To begin with, I would like to thank Alexey and Ekaterina for their participation, warm human attitude, quick answers to all questions of interest and, it seems to me, sincere love for their work;) I was pleasantly surprised by such sincere communication, in contrast to the memorized banal speech of employees of all travel agencies.
And that’s how I came across this site adventure-guide.ru... After last year’s yet another banal, I would even say parasitic and nauseating beach holiday, pretty tired of boredom and idleness, even the child howled. Then I thought that it was definitely time to call it a day, and this time everything simply had to be different! The soul demanded action and extreme sports. The opposite of a beach holiday, it seems to me, is the mountains. But the question arose: is it possible to go to the mountains with a child? And after googling a little, I ended up here) They convinced me that this tour was quite suitable for a 9-year-old child, and without hesitating for a minute, I chose it. But still, if you have a quiet child at home (and who doesn’t know how to swim!), then it may be too early for such trips. And if you’re a freak like me, who storms the tallest trees and canopies of playgrounds almost from the first steps of her life, then this tour will make both you and your child choke on emotions and impressions. And if you are reading these lines, then I am almost sure that your child is the same as mine;)
There were no complaints about the organization and service. The transfer was already waiting for us at the exit from the airport. The hotel is cozy, country-style, with home-cooked food and friendly staff. In principle, I am generally unpretentious in this regard; I am always more interested in the tour program and the external environment than the comfort within four walls. And I hate reading the endless quibbles of the majority in reviews. There is only one caveat. The list of recommended items does not include a swimsuit. And we took it just in case, I thought that it wouldn’t be needed at all. If you are traveling in the summer, a swimsuit is a must! For swimming in the lake not far from the hotel, for daily diving into waterfalls and mountain rivers, and for evening swimming in the hotel's summer cottage pool (It is quite large and clean. And if not you, then the child will definitely want to splash around there).
I will not describe the tour program itself for one simple reason - you need to see it with your own eyes and experience it firsthand;)) And there is quite enough information on the website. The important thing is that we wanted extreme sports, and we got it! Literally every day))) And I even managed to snatch it during a seemingly measured horse ride. At first I didn’t want to describe the details, so as not to scare me, but then I thought it was better to warn, since the trip was still planned with children. In short, it is no secret that horses are very cowardly animals. And my horse Gray, passing by the tourist tents, was only frightened by the sharp rustling of the awning from a gust of wind and suddenly rushed straight into the bushes, trying to throw me off as he went. I still fell off my horse, but I escaped, as they say, with a slight fright, and a few bruises... (At first I was worried that my daughter was put on a separate horse, and then I thought, thank God, otherwise she would have flown with me.) The girl instructor turned white, either from fear for me, or from my supposed indignation at this force majeure, and was shocked when, instead of screaming and complaining, getting on the horse again, with burning eyes, she said: “Cool! A real extreme tour!” In short, if you have doubts, you can simply refuse this walk. But the stable managers said that they will now more carefully monitor the horse route for such situations. So I think everything will be fine. Another one of my most vivid impressions was visiting the Mishoko extreme park. After flying along the trolley over the abyss, in order to get to the return trolley, you had to climb an absolutely sheer rock above a cliff in a gorge, 150 m deep, on narrow planks, and sometimes without planks))) (with reliable double insurance, of course). This, of course, was a big surprise for me, who is terribly afraid of heights, to put it mildly! And the most terrible test for me was climbing up this route along the famous stairs with the popular name “And how?”. Because this is not an ordinary staircase, but with a reverse slope towards the cliff! But my daughter, unlike me, calmly covered this route, as if she had already walked along it a hundred times (and she was the smallest of the whole group). Although the two older boys initially refused this idea. But she was most impressed by the canyoning, especially when she was thrown from the height of a waterfall (not very high) into the river. Ahha)) I will never forget her eyes - a mixture of surprise, piggy delight and splashed adrenaline:D Moreover, her beloved Vasek was the extreme instructor. Mom wasn’t really needed there either, she just walked with Vasko by the hand:D
In general, in conclusion, I want to say that this tour completely changed my ideas about vacation. Now all sorts of Turkey-Greece are receding into the very background. Maybe for some people this is a constant norm, but for us this is the first time! My daughter is now raving only about Adygea))) And we will definitely spend our next summer vacation in the mountains! Just like winter;) Because we decided to give up beach holidays (in the mainstream sense) forever. And if it’s the sea, then let it be surfing or diving))

Hello! Yesterday we returned with our son (Misha, 8 years old) from a wonderful New Year's tour! We loved everything! An amazing family team of instructors organized our winter holiday even with no snow at all. The program was excellent and interesting for both children and adults: great accommodation, homemade food, games, entertainment, contests, shows, a campfire, songs with a guitar, everything that is completely missing from our hectic city life. Thank you very much for the wonderful five days of a truly interesting life, we promise to return to you!

The trip was a success! Many thanks to the organizers and many thanks to Ekaterina for advice on the trip. Three days is enough, especially since we rode all day. Thanks to the instructors for their mountain snowmobiling skills. We were very lucky with the weather. All 3 days it was clear, no precipitation and minus 5 degrees. I definitely recommend trying everything:)

Thanks to Alexey for organizing a wonderful vacation! Three weeks have passed since the trip, and my husband and I are still impressed! One instructor Sergei met at 7 am on the day of arrival, another instructor Igor met at 10 pm on the day of departure, they equipped us, drove us on snowmobiles in such a way that the heart sank to the heels, then there was no limit to delight! My husband and I rode together on the same snowmobile. I’m basically number two, behind him))) But now I also want to try to steer myself - to get an unforgettable experience from independent descents and ascents, and not just from the flat surface of the lakes))) The nature in the Khibiny Mountains is fabulous! Mountains, forests - everything is snow-white! It happened that everything around me merged - the sky, mountains, road, and after a while - the sun, the blue sky. Thanks to instructors Sergei and Igor for their professionalism and care! Thank you for the great trips to the most beautiful places in Khibiny!

Hi all.
The two of us took part in the safari with our daughter.
The event was held at a high organizational level. The meeting party provided a wonderful stay at the base and interesting skiing along the route. We enjoyed both the fast skiing and the storming of the swamps. Everyone received a portion of dust and dirt in accordance with their expectations. The active holiday was a success.
For those who want to get to know the ATV closely and understand all its capabilities, I highly recommend it.

We recently took the Polar Express snowmobile safari through Svalbard. Incredible views, a huge number of photographs, a lot of new knowledge and interesting acquaintances! This is what awaits you on Spitsbergen!
And most importantly, our cheerful and friendly Russian guides can show this! They come to the Arctic every year to develop tourism, show the local beauty and come up with new routes every week! Demonstrate professionalism at all times. In addition, new and reliable snowmobiles and super warm suits, you don’t feel cold in them at all, the wind doesn’t blow, snow doesn’t fall:) all this makes your trip super comfortable and memorable!

Just returned from a hike. A lot of positive emotions and indescribable sensations,
It was a little hard, but we almost didn’t whine:)
Special thanks to the hosts: Alexander and Vyacheslav, everything was excellent, attentive, there were no unresolved issues.
Not far from the base is the town of Nauchny, I recommend visiting the observatory, listening to an interesting open-air lecture and looking through a telescope

A wonderful tour, I went for 10 days and had a lot of fun! There are a lot of horses to choose from (more than 30 horses in the stable), for different levels - from very calm ones for beginners and children, to interesting temperamental horses for more active athletes. All horses are well-groomed, well-mannered and very nice)))) are well trained and accustomed to walks both around the city and in the wild - they don’t kid, they don’t do nonsense, they don’t shy away from dogs/cars/objects/unexpected situations - in general, they can be trusted even by a beginner, no surprises. This is not all by chance, of course, but because all the horses are regularly and professionally ridden, cared for, trained - and it is visible and obvious that a lot of work has been put into each horse individually from the instructors and staff, for this there is real respect. All the hikes are very interesting - you go, relax and just smile from what is around - ideal anti-stress - nature of indescribable beauty - mountains - flowering plains - tea plantations, high-mountain villages - tall clear waterfalls, etc. - we visited such fantastic places - which you can hardly get to except on horseback! There are a lot of impressions! (Especially since we also went to the sea - that’s where the photo sessions are great on a horse in the surf) so even all long trips are stress-free. You sit and just enjoy - everything has already been organized for you)) the horses are also already such experienced fellows, how they are on all sorts of slopes, through mud, through streams and forests - they all go so confidently and obediently - sit back and enjoy yourself, take pictures with your phone. The instructors are experienced, attentive, so even beginners do not need to be afraid or apprehensive - all groups for walks are selected with professional support and taking into account the experience (or lack thereof) of the riders - and the organizers always listen to your wishes and capabilities - which horse you liked best, etc. - and how you want or feel at the moment - calmly walk the whole way, or gallop - everything here is of your choice. Organization of accommodation/meals is also all good. In general, I really liked it, and by the way, it turned out that in my group most of the guests have known this base for a long time and come back 6-8 times)) and I will undoubtedly take this tour with pleasure again, thank you very much to all the organizers, instructors and staff (and my favorite horses for their effort, trust and fantastic positive emotions) - I wish this business good luck and prosperity!

We thoroughly enjoyed the hike. Great service. Instead of the promised 2 instructors, there were three - the unforgettable Andrey, Lera and Sergey. At the evening parking lot, tents were already erected when we arrived. Special thanks to Andrey - a very integral and self-confident leader who has the gift of unquestioning persuasion. Every crew member (there were 15 of us) was under control. Complete safety was ensured (many of our company had their first kayaking experience). Overall, very nice people who we would like to meet again, which we will do next year! Special thanks to Alexey Yudin for his very attentive attitude, patience and understanding!
