Excellent organization of the trip! Instructors: Marfa, Sergey, Nikita and Sasha are very attentive and helped where needed. The food is camp, but tasty and even for the fussy. Excellent for a weekend hike. Two days without a computer is great!! The equipment is modern - tents, kayaks, rugs, sleeping bags. We had people sleeping in a tent and kayaking for the first time. With this company you can do this!!! My grandson liked it and wants to go camping again!!

This is not the first time I have gone on wonderful tours with this agency. The most outstanding was the first cruise to Spitsbergen from Murmansk.

It’s difficult to make a decision when purchasing such an expensive tour, but my gratitude goes to Anna Podlesnykh - she promptly answered all the questions, provided non-standard information upon request and helped find the most profitable solution!

On the tour, everything was also organized at the highest level, the program was quickly adapted to the weather conditions, so the trip was a delight!

I recommend, you are guaranteed a reliable partner in organizing your trip.

We were on a horse riding tour in the city of Galich in August 2025. We received unforgettable emotions from this place. I learned a lot for myself about horses and communicating with them, during the instruction from the owner Sergei; I have never been told so much interesting and useful information in any place. We groomed the horses ourselves, saddled them, and only then went out into the fields for a walk; this is a unique format for communicating and establishing contact with the horse. The groups were divided into walking groups for beginners and for experienced riders it was possible to enroll in a racing group. There are goats and kids on the territory and we even managed to take a master class on milking a goat😀

The owner Sergei always tried to find entertainment for all the guests, so the 3 days that we were there flew by quickly, fun and interesting.

Breakfasts, lunches and dinners were on schedule, the company was fun and we even managed to make new friends, and most importantly, the friendly atmosphere that Sergey and his team were able to create.

Do you want to go back there? The answer is that I really want to and I have plans to go in the winter! I definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to take a break and turn off their brain from the hustle and bustle and problems

This is not the first year I have been traveling with these guys. I don’t have time to comb the Internet and look for tours, but here everything is collected on one site. This time I chose two trips - in the Russian North and a helicopter to Manpupuner.

Both turned out just great.

In the North:

An ideal tour in which everything works like clockwork. I, an anxious and hyper-controlling person, completely relaxed because I knew everything would be great. Organization for 5+ - excellent hotels, convenient timing, luxurious excursions. I never had the feeling that they skimped on my comfort, peace of mind and convenience. Every penny is well spent. I recommend it to everyone who is confused by life, who needs to clear their head and who is interested in culture and history, as well as magnificent northern views.

We watched the natural wonder of the world with comfort and feeling!

A very well organized excursion - correct timing, good bus, charming escorts.

There was enough time on site to look around, take photographs, remember everything, look around.

We approached the program informally - we were unlucky enough to save time on different sections and we were given a mini-excursion to the Romanov places in Nyrob and even flew in on the way back to the Old Believer village, which no one owed us at all.

I was afraid to fly, but the team takes safety very seriously.

The organizer also treats his clients informally, for example, very tasty home-cooked food (I rolled out of the bus in Perm like a bun. Out of fear, I took a snack with me, but I didn’t need it) plus all sorts of little things, like repellent, which are generally small in description, but very important on the spot.

All in all, my warmest recommendations! It's worth it, the price is never too high.

Being interested in active tourism, I quickly found the Adventure Guide website on the Internet. This information portal immediately captivated me with its detailed (detailed!) description of tours and user-friendly interface. The managers of Adventure Guide, in particular Natalya Antonova, provided even more detailed information on the tours, and Natalya (sometimes even during her non-working hours) led these tours for me. She answered all questions, helped and provided guidance. The “Road to Ladoga” tour itself was incredible. Expectations were more than met; much more was done for tourists during the tour than was expected.

The instructors showed not only high professionalism, in all their actions they showed concern for us, tourists, an individual approach, gave their best, and did much more than prescribed. I would especially like to mention the instructors Albert Popov, Mikhail and Andrey Melnikov. The bathhouse is brilliant, the fish caught and cooked is chic, delicious camp dishes, including taking into account the individual dietary characteristics of tourists, and also the most interesting stories about Karelia, subtle humor, and of course excursions. They did all this at a high level. I would like them to be rewarded. Thanks to such people, Karelia has become unforgettable and desirable for a new visit and recommendations to friends and acquaintances

Thank you for having this opportunity to buy this tour. I really liked everything: interesting excursions, stories from the local guide about life from the inside, first-hand. Everything was thought out - the transfer was convenient, the hotel was very good, and there were decent cafes where we stopped for lunch. And in terms of the duration of the tour, everything was enough to relax and enjoy. Well, the views are something indescribable. You helped two people become a little happier.

Thank you! ♥

The client-oriented approach of the manager of the Adventure Guide company, Natalya Antonova, prompted me to buy a tour along the Lukh River immediately after the “Road to Ladoga”. It’s great when they explain everything, patiently, in detail, and meet halfway when the client has any hiccups. That's what Natalya did. That’s why I wanted to extend the cooperation, and, of course, make my vacation extremely eventful. On Lukha we tourists were met by instructors Alexander and Mikhail. And I was again convinced that the highest professionals are working on the ground. In every sense. Misha, by the way, is a very tall guy). Our instructors did everything quickly and deftly. Everything comes easy to them, and seeing this, you get peace and tranquility, which is actually why we are going. We contemplated Lukh, rafted along it in a fun and comfortable way. And here everything is at its best: the bathhouse (and even a watermelon right in the bathhouse, like a touch of freshness), and surprises in the form of pancakes (this is on a hike!), memorable magnets and other pleasant little things that just make the difference. The tour is great. Go to Lukh!

Review of the trip Magadan - Yakutsk along the Kolyma highway from July 23 to August 2, 2025. Our trip was quite difficult, given the 5-day journey, but the excellent organization, taking into account the wishes of tourists in the choice of museums, accommodation, and excursion program, made our trip unforgettable. I would like to especially note the high professionalism, very attentive and friendly attitude towards tourists of the tour organizers Anna Podlesnykh and the accompanying guide Ksenia. With you now on any trip with pleasure, thank you very much!!!

Horse weekend in Mikhailovsky is the best tour that can be presented in such a format. Minimum 2 hours of horse riding on excellent horses in a beginner and intermediate group, a great excursion from the director of the museum in Galich, independent rafting on the river and Lake Galich... And a bathhouse! I really want to come back at another time of the year! Prosperity to this farm and its wonderful owners.

Natalia, the tour was a success. Thanks to you. You also provided the weather. Something completely new for me: a streamlined approach to the “turnkey tour” business, when the tourist does not strain at all. The tents are set up and taken down, the food is ready, the camp is ready, the bathhouse is ready. It's cool, but I can't say that the previous versions swayed me. There you can take the initiative yourself, that’s what I did, but you can be almost completely relaxed. These are just two different approaches and both of them have the right to life. I can say clearly: when the tour is short - a weekend, an escort car and everything, absolutely all the worries are on the instructors - this is very smart, since there is little time, and the tourist doesn’t have time to tinker with tents and other little things, it’s just that then everything would be delayed, and the dynamics of the tour would be disrupted. So that's a plus.

What comes as some surprise is that I was expecting more water travel. I was guided by the description of the tour. I thought we'd get further. But the reality is that yes, there is not much time, which means you don’t have to go through it until you drop. It's still a vacation. Well, it took less time than I expected, okay. The river is magnificent. I was very impressed. Remained in my heart. I admired it, swam, and noticed its features.

Let me summarize this tour: reality again turned out to be better than expectations. There are no disappointments. I learned what a “turnkey hike” is. And the Osuga River is unique, like any beautiful river. It may very well be that he will call me again!

Three days spent at a recreation center in the village. Mikhailovskoe left a lot of impressions. I liked it very much. It was interesting to listen to Sergei’s instructions; I learned a lot of new things for myself. All the staff are great. Everything is organized very well. The horses are beautiful and well-groomed. Knowing what hard work it is, I have great respect for the people who do it all. Also special thanks for organizing the catering. Thank you all so much for making my weekend wonderful. I really want to come again.

I have been cooperating with the tour operator Adventure Guide for several years now. This year my active excursion tour was in the east of Russia, to Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The tour was called "Necklace of the Kuril Ridge". A perfectly organized and interesting route to this amazing region. Interesting, well-prepared guides. Modern, small hotels, excellent food (fish and fish dishes, Sakhalin delicacies - scallops, oysters, red caviar and of course, crabs). All this made me very happy. Many thanks to Olga Terekhina, who recommended this route to me and to the tour operator for arranging such trips around our Motherland.

We went on a weekend tour, rafting with an escort car along the Tvertsa River. This is the second time I have used the services of the company, the organization, as always, is at the highest level, the manager Olga promptly resolves issues and makes adjustments, the accompanying staff on the rafting works above all praise, service, food, provision of minimal amenities, assistance in resolving any issues. The all-inclusive system makes this trip as convenient as possible. I recommend it for parents with children. We went with our group of 25 people and everyone was very pleased.

I want to share my delight from the recent equestrian tour in the Kostroma region! It was not just a trip, but a real immersion in nature, horses and myself.

We have never seen such instruction as Sergey gave anywhere; there was a lot of useful and interesting information. Staying in a cozy guest house added some flavor. Clean air, silence broken only by the singing of birds and stunning starry nights...

We didn’t just go for walks in the fields, but we cleaned and fed the horses ourselves, and this is the best format of communication)))

An unforgettable trip to Lvovo!!!

Many thanks to the organizers!!!

Guys, you are professionals and enthusiasts of your business! Thank you for your patience, interesting stories, care and truly homely atmosphere. We felt completely safe and comfortable throughout our stay.

This tour gave us not just beautiful photographs, but a feeling of real adventure and peace of mind. I definitely recommend it to everyone who wants to see the real Russia, recharge their batteries and get a sea of ​​positive emotions!

We will definitely come again.

My daughters and I spent an unforgettable vacation and horseback riding tour in the Kostroma region “Weekend in the Saddle” from Adventure Guide from October 9 to 11, 2025. The girls (11 and 13 years old) want more. Delicious ordinary food, conditions, relationships - I liked everything.

We vacationed from October 26 to October 31, 2025. The guide Madina, a young, beautiful girl, told everything interesting. We lived in houses in the mountains, heated by air conditioning. And one night in Derbent in a hotel. I was with a 7-year-old child and went through the program. The car is comfortable. We fed a lot, it was delicious. Rent a dress in the desert for 1000₽, in other places 500₽, for children 300₽. weather +16, but one day +6. There was no rain, everyone watched the program.

Pros:

- excellent horses, obedient, active and strong

- interesting walking routes

- hospitality and cordiality

- homemade food, one day we enjoyed duck, and in the evening we were even treated to wine

- the owner is a fan of his business, participates and wins in major competitions

- everything will be provided on site, there are dishes in the kitchen, there is a tap outside to wash your shoes, there is a towel in the room, etc.

- boots are provided if needed on the route

- many guests who are here not for the first time

- the stables are washed and the guys at the stables love their charges

- summer weather even in November

I would also like to note for those planning to take this tour:

- it is indicated that you should take a return plane ticket for 5-6, this is already taken with a reserve, especially if you are not on public transport

From wishes:

- on the first day it was a little chaotic: a few words about the local order, what time we were going, etc. would have been helpful. For example, when I saw a ready-made group on horseback (as it turned out later, not my group), I thought that now everyone would leave without me))

Overall everything was great and I liked it!

The most excellent impressions! I really liked everything - complete immersion, they led us from the pasture, cleaned them, saddled them with the help of mentors. The place where we came on a hike was very beautiful! Bath, food, it's just relaxation and detox, clean your head. And of course horses!!! On the second day I came across the smartest horse in the world)) And how they rummage around you in search of a tasty treat😊 it’s impossible not to immediately give away everything you have stocked up😁

Sergey is a wonderful mentor, it was very interesting to listen to him, I’ve probably never encountered such a lively story before)) The nature of Kostroma and Galich deserves a special ovation😍 There were several people in my group who came to this tour again and I understood them very well! I'll definitely be back too!
