I have been travelling to the North Caucasus since I was a child! And every time, it amazed me more and more with its beauty, culture, customs and history. And after some time, I realized that I wanted to share my knowledge and impressions with people from all over our country. North Caucasus is the place that falls in love with you literally from the first minutes. It is a place that everyone should visit! More

About the tour: Этот фототур стал для меня настоящим чудом, отличным методом перезагрузки. Я давно мечтала вновь отправиться поближе к горам, увидеть Эльбрус...И одно из самых ярких впечатлений за этот тур - это встреча рассвета с прекрасным видом на Эльбрус. Когда первые лучи солнца коснулись заснеженной вершины, а она засияла в розовом свете — это было незабываемо. Такой момент хочется проживать снова и снова.

Но не только Эльбрус впечатлил — каждый день этого путешествия будто открывал новую грань кавказской природы. Горные реки, бурлящие в ущельях, древние аулы, утопающие в зелени, каньоны... и каждый кадр — как картина.

Организация на высоте: продуманный маршрут, внимательный гид, у которого на первом месте всегда был вопрос нашей безопасности (что является самым важным в такой местности!), который знает, где и когда будет лучший свет, и забота о каждой детали.

Я уехала с сотнями фотографий, но главное — с чувством, что прикоснулась к чему-то настоящему. Природа здесь живая, сильная, она говорит сама с собой — и ты невольно начинаешь её слышать. Хочется вернуться вновь.

About the tour: The Caucasus tour with Fyodor exceeded all expectations!!! At first, there was a tense wait, because not everything was going smoothly on the eve of the tour, but then as we started))) Every day was filled with a lot of beautiful places and locations, Caucasian names that at first made your brain explode (by the way, we trained it along the way; it was great fun to remember not only the names of places, but also names - people's imagination is unpredictable and rich! ). Fedor was very flexible in changing the program to suit the circumstances and weather conditions. Although we did not see all the places announced on the tour due to the weather, what beautiful and interesting locations outside the program we still visited!!!! There were a lot of majestic mountains, gorgeous waterfalls, plateaus, passes, gorges and gorges, reservoirs and lakes, as well as ancient ruined cities and fortresses))) All this was accompanied by Fyodor's stories about the history of these places and events, interesting facts and simply interesting, funny conversations. You will never be bored with a guide like Fyodor! )) Fyodor also talked a lot about the peculiarities of local cuisine and did everything to make us try as many national dishes and local “chips” as possible. Every day was so rich in places and events that at some point the brain stopped reproducing the sequence of events correctly))) So there won't be a shortage of impressions for sure! For connoisseurs of comfort - living in luxurious conditions, for scholars and history buffs - you will learn a lot of new and interesting things, for aesthetes and nature lovers - the most beautiful places in the Caucasus, for gourmets - appreciate all the peculiarities of local cuisine. For whom this tour is not suitable - perhaps for those who like to lie on the couch)) Although I have no doubt that an experienced guide will adapt the tour for such people as well))) In general, after the tour ends, a lot of emotions and impressions that have yet to be “digested”, these places will sink your mind for a long time, and it looks like I will come back here again!

About the tour: Dedicated to all those who stumbled across this tour by accident, like me, and are still thinking about whether to take it guys!)

I'm writing this review under Fedya's awesome playlist he kindly shared. I had a chance to tour him from October 6 to October 17. The weather only let us down a couple of times, but thanks to the convenient and fairly flexible route, we lost almost nothing and even managed to see more 😉 (Fedya compensated for rainy days with cool places outside the program whenever possible).

I must say right away that this tour is different from standard package bus tours: if you are used to being loaded with a huge amount of historical information, running to and from locations all the time due to limited time, fighting for the best photo spots with other tourists, then you can forget about it on this tour. Fedya explains basic information in an accessible way, gives understandable analogies, answers questions in detail, and jokes, so you won't get bored. But most importantly, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy the views in peace and quiet.
By the way, the tour is designed in such a way that you catch a good time at most locations, when there are no crowds of tourists, you can enjoy privacy in a beautiful place.

As for housing: excellent apartments in Nalchik in a modern house, no one bothered anyone; we spent one night with an incredible view of the Sulak Canyon, and the last two in a guest house in the center of Gunib.

It was a discovery for me that during the tour Fedya photographed us with a professional camera, as indicated in the description. So my advice to you: read the description carefully 😂 (including what is included in the tour price and what is not).
In any case, feel free to ask questions about the tour, Fedya always answers them promptly and takes into account your wishes.

If you read this review to the end and think that it looks like a tour ad, then it probably is, because I really liked it and the good ones should be shared 🤝🏻

P.S. The way to the Shaurta and Elbrus glacier at dawn in the heart 💔

About the tour: We returned home and still can't believe that so much has happened during the 12 days of the tour. We visited so many places as if we had lived a small life. We weren't very lucky with the weather for most of the trip; on the very first day we weren't able to visit the location due to the rain, but Fyodor is a great professional in his field; he maneuvered locations and even climb times depending on weather conditions. Special thanks to Fyodor for getting up early and going to locations even before the flow of tourists. Words cannot describe what a pleasure it is to be alone in tourist places! Fyodor was always in touch and recommended places for dinner and breakfast. It was delicious everywhere, and we especially loved the history restaurant in Nalchik. Fyodor was greeted very warmly in all locations; we were boated along the Sulak Canyon for 50 minutes instead of the promised 15 minutes, and it was unforgettable! And photos! Fyodor makes great photos as a bonus, thank you very much for that! All in all, I'm going to enjoy the memories from this trip for a long time to come. Fedya, thank you so much for the wonderful 12 days! Read more
