We visited Kamchatka for the first time. Fell in love once and for all!
A stunning, fabulous, magical, wild and fantastically beautiful place.
Each landscape is completely unique, and in general throughout the entire time in Kamchatka there is a feeling of unreality and being in some kind of microcosm.
If you have at least once in your life imagined yourself as a participant in a program on the National Geographic TV channel, then this trip is simply a must-see.
But conquering all this unreal beauty for people who are not very well versed in all the intricacies of tourism would be impossible without true professionals in their field: the entire sending and receiving party.
Many thanks to Yudin Alexey and Anna, who helped with the entire organization of the tour, from documents to, literally, collecting things))))))))
The whole trip we were accompanied by real professionals and fans of their craft, but most importantly - just wonderful people: Kirill Malakhov is simply the best guide, conductor, storyteller, organizer and overall leader)))) To the North, our protector, separate hugs and kisses)))
Valentin, Victor, Alexander - thank you all very much.
Special thanks to our chefs - you are simply incredible! During the hike, just restaurant food: Lera, Yana, Alexander)))))))
And, of course, to all drivers - you are simply heroes!!!!

Without a doubt, it was the best weekend of this summer! The organization is excellent - many thanks to the manager Anna for taking into account all our wishes and choosing the ideal tour for our company. This is a five-star alloy, because... everything was ready, all the little things were taken into account, and we could enjoy the weekend without worrying about everyday life. Thanks to Vasily for organizing the campsites, for even setting up and dismantling tents for us. Thanks to the instructor Natalya, who was full of positivity, ready to answer all questions and teach anyone how to operate a kayak in 5 minutes! And the sweetest thanks to Aunt Anya, who cooked us scrambled eggs for breakfast, divine borscht for lunch and incredible potatoes for dinner - everything was incredibly tasty, natural and healthy!
Volga rafting is suitable for people of any level, so don’t hesitate. Nature is beautiful! There are places for swimming.
I recommend! I highly, highly recommend!

I would like to thank the Adventure Guide company and Alexey personally for the perfectly organized trip to the Kostroma region. Three days in the village of Mikhailovskoye near Galich turned out to be wonderful! Without exaggeration, I will say that after the stuffy, fussy and draining Moscow, there was a stop in time. Rebooting consciousness. Neither my friend nor I could even imagine such an effect. First of all, wonderful horses...smart, kind, strong, giving energy. Driving along the most picturesque and non-repetitive routes. Plus communication with animals, cleaning, saddling, grazing, feeding. The farm also has goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. Everyone can be petted and talked to. It seemed like a never-ending celebration of life had arrived! Secondly, nature itself... I never thought that Russia could have such beauty, endless fields, wild forest paths with animal tracks, sunsets and the sky... Thirdly, natural products and homemade food (which is worth only the amazingly tasty milk, which seems like a fairy tale after Moscow). The food on the farm is really delicious! I would also like to note that the hosts responded to my request for special food (thanks to Alexey) and prepared some dishes separately. Fourthly, the hospitality and cordiality of Sergei, Galina, Elena, the cooks... everything was done informally, from the heart. In general, team cohesion is a separate issue. Instructors Vadim and Olga answered all questions, helped, suggested... I felt like I was at home, in the family. And the organization of the day: we managed to do so much! Drive the herd home, ride along the routes on horseback, and also (which none of us expected or were ready for) mushroom picking and kayaking. I can talk about Lake Galich for a long time! Sky, water, space and silence... So many things were tried for the first time: operating a kayak, collecting boletus mushrooms, bird watching... and the air in which the smell of grass, hay, apples, wildflowers... something achingly distant and at the same time dear. The thought of returning to Moscow was pushed aside in my mind, because it was here, in the village, that the real, intangible, that which fills the soul and heart for the long months of Moscow’s gray and rainy autumn was found. I will definitely return to Mikhailovskoye and thank you again, Alexey! You are doing an important job by opening up Russia to tourists and painting the world with bright colors.

When a childhood dream comes true, another star lights up in the sky! This trip lit up two stars in the sky at once! The love for horses began a long time ago; the dream of going on a horseback trip was born back then. This year my sister and I went on an adventure together! Thank you, Sister, you are my best partner in everything! We wanted everything to be cool and cool, but we didn’t expect this, honestly. We found ourselves in a place that seemed to have always been waiting for us ✨ In my sweetest childhood dreams, everything looked exactly like this!
Wake up to the cries of Yasha the Donkey, swim in a mountain river, drink fresh milk in the evening and watch the piglets - 10 days of complete relaxation and immersion in a completely different reality!
Thank you for the incredible amount of care and hospitality! You are the best, this journey simply could not have been better, pleasant surprises awaited us at every step! Thank you for bathing the horses, for the hayloft, for the night by the fire, for your sincerity, warmth and light! Thank you Lena, everything you cooked was simply incredibly delicious!

Thank you so much for the tour!!! Everything was great!!!! Excellent coordination work by manager Anna, high-quality instructors and drivers on site. The cook is simply God!!! This is some kind of miracle at the end of the world! You feel like a conqueror of another planet living in a dome camp with wild nature all around!!! The instructors know the history of these places very well and talk about it very interestingly!!! You can see all this in more detail on our SpasReserve channel on YouTube video Glamping on Kola PART 1,2,3,4,5.

We took the Honey Falls tour and never regretted it.
The views are mesmerizing with their vastness, the horses are strong, strong, sinewy, and can withstand quite long and difficult routes from the mountains to the gorge and back. The weather was good, it was warm and sunny. In addition to the tour, there is also the opportunity to go by SUV to Mount Burma But, which we took advantage of and were incredibly happy about this trip.
It is still advisable to have a little preparation for riding a horse.
You have three meals a day and are very tasty, but if you still get hungry, you can order kebabs and other local dishes in the cafe.
We lived in a guest house, for which we paid extra separately.

It was the best vacation of my life. Everything was super, the weather and the team. Six cool guys. A cozy hotel near Afzal with amazing breakfasts and dinners, and of course our super guide, the fire girl Sveta, who will show you how to jump into the water from an 8-meter cliff, climb Ai-Petri on a bicycle, 27 km up the mountain or help someone who has capsized in a kayak. And don’t be afraid to go alone, I I thought that everyone would be in pairs or groups, but this is not so, everyone came alone and were very pleased.

The trip was simply wonderful! Thanks to manager Anna Podlesnykh for her advice on choosing a tour and prompt answers to all questions that arise.
There were doubts whether I, at 53 years old, could cope with the routes without having mountain hiking skills. I did it! The routes are designed in such a way that a person who regularly engages in at least some type of active activity is able to overcome them.
The Tana Park Hotel is located in a quiet, picturesque place, with views from the windows either of the river or of the waterfall. If you go to the river, you can sleep wonderfully to the sound of water, and if you go to the waterfall, then, in addition to the fact that it is very beautiful, in the morning you are awakened by the rays of the sun rising from behind the mountain.
Something to consider before your trip - the hotel is located deep in the national park, and there are no shops or benches within walking distance. Therefore, if you like to drink tea in your room in the evening, then you should take tea, sugar and sweets with you. There are no kettles in the rooms either. And one more nuance - in the hotel restaurant you cannot pay with a plastic card, either cash or Sberbank online transfer. Cellular communication also doesn’t practically work, I have Beeline, there was no connection at all, Megafon made its way here and there, but the hotel had Wi-Fi, and that saved the day. But we are not going to the mountains for the benefits of civilization!
We were lucky with the weather, and especially lucky with our guide, Natalya Ilyenko! At first it was difficult to imagine that such an experienced mountain tourism instructor was hiding behind the appearance of a fragile, calm girl. Natalya also turned out to be an excellent guide and a wonderful storyteller. You could listen to it without stopping!
It is impossible to describe the beauty of the mountains and waterfalls, you need to see it! There was a moment when I, clinging to the grass with my hands, climbed up and thought, “Never set foot in the mountains again!”

We were lucky enough to visit the far north from January 5 to 7. To say that I am delighted is to say nothing!!!!! Incredible nature of the north, we were lucky and saw the northern lights. The Barents Sea made the greatest impression. Incredible beauty, there are simply no words!!!!! Thank you so much for organizing such a tour. Special thanks to Anna!!!!! Great manager!!! She helped me a lot with buying tickets, always in touch, help with all questions!!!!! Thank you so much for your excellent work and professionalism!!!! We will definitely travel with you again!!!!!!

It was a wonderful and full of impressions trip. The host party organized everything perfectly. The tour program is rich and entertaining. I would like to add one or two days in the Khibiny Mountains. We organized additionally ourselves.

The vacation exceeded all expectations, everything was according to the program, we are very pleased! Excellent organization of the tour by manager Anna Podlesnykh, we will continue to use the agency’s services! We recommend!

This tour is simply something! We will remember the climb to the top of Ai-Petri and the descent without bicycles forever! The horse ride is also super - you feel like the hero of the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus")) We thank the manager Anna Podlesnykh for the excellent organization of our vacation!

Manager Anna helped organize a tour for our company (21 people) in less than 5 days. The guys who accompanied us on the rafting did their job to perfection!

Rafting on the Tvertsa River over the weekend was amazing! The whole family would like to thank the instructors Dmitry and Natalya - they were professional, took care of us all the time and tried to make the trip comfortable for our 3.5-year-old daughter, they excellently prepared huge portions of porridge, pilaf, borscht and sandwiches! They showed and told the history of the places that we passed on kayaks. It’s great to kayak in such a company, even with a small child!

We went rafting on the Zhizdra River (Kaluga region) at the beginning of September 2020. I liked everything very much, the organization of the tour was excellent, thanks to our instructors Olga and Alexey, we hope to see you again next year!!!

I was on this trip in 2019. Only the most wonderful impressions! Really the end of the earth (or the beginning?)... Stunning exotic nature, the most interesting history of these places, unusual local cuisine - sort of Russian, but there are a lot of Korean dishes. By the way, Korean carrots appeared precisely in the Kuril Islands, when the Japanese brought Korean slaves here, and they did not have the usual ingredients for their dishes. And also a variety of fish and seafood, which are fresh, just caught. The organization of all movements, excursions and accommodation is beyond praise! On a ship from Iturup to Kunashir, I recommend booking the captain's cabin. Slightly more expensive, but chic! Detailed report with photos and music here https://youtu.be/q8m-O-UXLyM

It was a wonderful tour!
I discovered this most beautiful place - Kenozersky National Park. Photos do not convey the beauty of these places. Huge snow-covered fir trees, wooden churches, gray unpainted houses, and the surface of a frozen lake create the unique charm of this region.
And our group was friendly and positive. This is how it usually turns out in active tours. Thanks to all the tour participants for the fun time spent together and mutual assistance.
Thanks to manager Anna Podlesnykh for her help in choosing the tour. It was her timely call that prompted me to take this journey.

We went skiing for Christmas. I was with children 12 and 8 years old.
I liked literally everything. At first I was surprised by the pleasant accommodation in very comfortable houses. And then I really liked how the organizers started our joint hike; it began with an interesting Quest. By the way, none of the other organizing companies have done this before.
Next, I was pleased with the wise attitude of the organizers towards the speed of children on the ski slope and their whining (I’m talking about my children). Everything was very emotional, without tension, no one rushed or scolded anyone.
The result of the trip was firm confidence and the decision that we now need to repeat this in the summer rafting.
The food was also delicious, taking into account all the wishes of each participant. There was a representative of veganism.
Well, wonderful board games, mafia, intimate conversations over dinner.
I strongly recommend this hike.

Everything was great, full of emotions and positivity. Good-natured hosts and just good people, and of course the instructor Andrey is a cool guy!!! Thank you for this weekend and everyone who had a great rest! (guys from Yaroslavl Ilya and Dima) P.S Friends, choose a snowmobile tour to Karelia, you won’t regret it for a second. All the best!

Many thanks to the organization and especially to the manager Anna for recommending the tour, telling us everything in detail, and recommending what exactly to take with us. The tour is wonderful, comfortable, delicious! Thank you!
