I would like to express my deep gratitude for the tour "Big Trip to Dagestan" on 08/24/2024, our accompanying Polina for her organization and ability to work with people, drivers Peter and Roman for their professionalism and approach to work, guides of Dagestan Zainab and Kagir, who dispelled our stereotypes and immersed us in its real world and history, especially thank you To Kagir for his author's coffee "raf on donkey's milk"))) to the local driver Magomed for his cool ride through the mountains) and to our trouble-free photographer Alina! Thank you guys! It was one of the best trips I've ever had! When I was going to go, I thought 10 days was a lot, but no, they just passed unnoticed. Not a single photo/video conveys all the beauty of Dagestan, it needs to be seen! Especially the mountainous part of it!
And of course Elbrus!!! This is a separate love) thank you to the travel agency for giving you the opportunity to see so much beauty in one trip!

There was a tour to Dagestan in September 2024. Many thanks to Zainap and Kagir. Special thanks to Anna. She was our mom throughout the trip. I really liked the hotel- houses in the mountains. The view from the window is just an ecstasy for the eyes. The food is delicious and there is a lot. We weren't hungry. There were nuances in the Izberbash hotel, but they were resolved. We didn't really understand why it was impossible to make a full-fledged overnight stay in a hotel in Voronezh.Anya, we would like to go on vacation with you again.

We went on an excursion tour to Georgia from August 12, 2024 to August 25, 2024. The road was wonderful, excellent drivers, with the frequency of stops, did not have time to get tired on the road.
Accompanying Vanya is just super ❤❤❤❤❤He will give you a pen everywhere, hear, help, solve any question, and just a cutie.
All the hotels were decent, there were delicious breakfasts everywhere with a large selection, we did not even expect such a level for the appropriate tour price. Just 10 out of 10🔥
The program is full of excursions, the crazy energy of the guide, an endless stream of cool experiences. We didn't have time to move away from yesterday's cool day, as the next one was even better.
Choosing from dozens of travel agencies, it was the one that they saw and decided that it was the most. Now we and all our friends are waiting for next summer to go to Georgia with gotrips😉

A trip to Dagestan is an unforgettable emotion, wonderful views, breathtaking, local guides who introduce culture, tell local stories and traditions, it is very interesting) BUT, it is worth asking the company in advance about the accompanying person who will be with you on the trip. We had an accompanying Pasha, whose organization of work leaves much to be desired.
1)Sanitary stops after 2-2.5 hours, then after 4-5, and incomprehensible in duration, then very short, then very long in a row, it is unclear from what considerations it was done. Although I clarified the time interval of stops from the very beginning.
2)For some reason, before the trip, it was only said that it was better to take a hairdryer with you, because there are few of them in the rooms. But they were everywhere except for the hotel in Voronezh, although there was no hot water there, and there was no communication either. As in the guest houses in the mountains, someone was lucky with the room, someone was not. Somewhere there was no Internet, cornices fell off, sockets shot, toilets leaked so that the room was flooded from below. For some reason, the locals were engaged in settlement, who drove cars to the houses. Like everything was decided in advance and agreed upon according to the lists, but someone did not have enough space, and they settled wherever they had to. We and another couple were deciding who to put the girl in a 3*4m space. Why specify in the contract about the ranks of the hotel and the replacement with the appropriate number, if in fact someone is lucky with the room and there are stupidly not enough rooms.
3) It is strange that no one was aware that many people would have an upset stomach from the local water. And that you could buy pills and avoid diarrhea and vomiting. It's like this is GoTrips' first trip to Dagestan. And we are not the first to encounter this.
4) When we were divided into groups in the mountains, we were lucky with our wonderful guide Abdula, someone did not have a guide at all. The guys just walked around and didn't really learn anything about the sights. They had a lot of fun.
5)When checking out of the hotel in Voronezh, my husband and I overslept. When I got on the bus, our escort was already describing in all colors how he woke us up and laughed. From the outside, it didn't look like a good joke to brighten up the waiting time due to our lateness. And all this was told not to the whole bus, but to four people sitting nearby. And to manipulate the fact that it seemed to us, it's just a joke, because the whole bus was waiting for us, it's just low. Although we apologized for being late.
6) The escort did not even try to get closer to us all somehow and create a cool atmosphere of relaxation and upcoming events…
This is sad, because according to other reviews, all the maintainers were really remembered only in the most positive way.
And then it turns out that many people have an unpleasant sediment, only some are silent and swallow it, and someone speaks and writes reviews.
Super positive reviews will be from those with whom our escort rested))
And there are also a lot of organizational flaws, at the expense of the boorish manner of communication of Maxim's driver, I am generally silent. But, as for the tourist bus, there are no questions at all. Dagestan is gorgeous, the guides are local beads and paws)
Thanks for this experience, now we will pay attention to the choice of an accompanying person on the trip too.

GoTrips: Thank you for this opportunity to see the world and its beauty. We returned from sunny Dagestan yesterday. It was a very exciting and unusual trip. We saw many beautiful locations, took thousands of photos with local attractions, learned a lot of new and interesting things about the culture and customs of Dagestan. I really liked the tour program. We've seen so much in such a short period of time. There just aren't enough words to describe it all. As they say, it's better to go 1 time and see everything for yourself than to hear 1000 times. I would like to express my special gratitude to our accompanying Natalia. She is a professional in her field, a very kind, sociable and responsive person. GoTrips did a great tour, but it was Natalia who made this trip unforgettable. All in all, it was a great trip. I am very glad that I was able to go. I advise everyone to go there is nothing you will not regret. I have no complaints. I'm happy with everything.

Dagestan Tour (01.06-10.06) ♥️
It was a wonderful trip led by the wonderful and patient guide Polina. A sound and judicious approach to solving all (adequate and relevant) issues.
For those planning ... be prepared for the absence of Wi-Fi in places and react to it normally... well, these are mountains, and you are on vacation 🙏
Check-in to comfortable hotels (price = quality ratio), especially in the mountains 💚
Of course, I would like to suggest that the organizers consider Derbent for a stop, instead of Makhachkala ... and, of course, there is an understanding that the price will change significantly.
Elbrus to the very heart!
And Danestan cannot be described... you need to see it!

Trip to Dagestan 04.07
Mountains, rivers, waterfalls - incredible beauty. This is something to see and enjoy. Climbing Elbrus is an indescribable beauty. The tour program is rich. Beautiful locations. The day is scheduled by the minute. Elena was a wonderful guide on the trip with us, we traveled through the mountains by minibus, which is very convenient. The trips were with Caucasian songs and lighting. The driver was a professional, considering the roads in the mountains. He could also suggest or tell you something. That's where the good ends.
Unfortunately, the impressions from the organization of the tour itself are questionable.
The first is hotels.
The first transit hotel, the room was on the 1st floor (that is, in the basement), but we were lucky, we had a window in the room, some did not have a window.
The second hotel in Makhachkala, before the trip, we specifically specified which hotel would be in order to look at the room, according to photos on the Internet, clean bright rooms. But when we arrived, we were given the keys to room 2 (photo attached), a complete discrepancy between the photos that are posted on the Internet. The rooms are "prison", located in the basement, there is no window in the room, there was no washbasin. Upon refusal to live in such a room, they refused to change it due to the lack of available rooms. Thanks to the accompanying Alexandra, she tried to find different options to change the room. As a result, the room was changed to a brighter one, a higher floor, the only view from the window was the roof of the neighboring house. The hotel sometimes had power outages and no water. On the territory of the hotel, you can only sit at the tables until 23.00, then you are kicked out. You can't sit at tables with your food and drinks, if you sit with your food and drinks, then the woman from the cafe charges you 50-100 Russian rubles per person every evening. The breakfasts are the same every day.
The third transit hotel, which was changed for us on the last day before departure. Initially, there was supposed to be an overnight stay in Volgograd, but it was replaced with a day stop at a hotel in Voronezh. Upon arrival at the hotel in Voronezh at 6 a.m., they were not ready to receive us, so breakfast was not at 8, but at 11.30. Again, there was no water in the rooms, only cold water appeared a little later. There is no air conditioning in the rooms. There is no connection there either. The rooms were not cleaned, there was a pile of cobwebs under the ceiling, a bug was sitting on the wall, there were cockroaches in the next room. There is no kettle, at the reception they sent us to get hot water in the cooler, which already had green water.
Secondly, as for food, it is for an amateur. They mostly drove around the canteens, the set of dishes was the same.
Third, if you like souvenirs, then buy them, and do not believe that it will be cheaper further. Guides take you to places where they have an agreement. As practice has shown, there is less choice and it is more expensive there.
Fourth, there was a lack of emotional atmosphere in the group, perhaps there is a question of accompanying.
I would like to receive more information about the tour before the trip.
That is why such an assessment, one for the incredible beauty of Dagestan, the second for the work of the guides and the driver.

I would like to express my great gratitude to Natalia and the go trips team for organizing a tour to Dagestan!
We had a rest in September 2024. Dagestan has become a new destination for us and we did not regret that it was recommended to us. We were also informed about all possible nuances and given recommendations for the most comfortable stay.
As a result, we received unforgettable impressions and a lot of pleasant emotions.
Only a variety of diverse guides like Mikhail, Zainab and Kagir have sunk into the very heart. It was interesting to look at Dagestan from different angles and views thanks to the guides.
I definitely recommend go trips for organizing a luxury vacation! Because I liked the clear organization of absolutely any details of the rest.

Dagestan Tour 🏔 (from 05/18/2024 to 05/27/2024). Accompanying Oksana, photographer Polina and guide Zainab are the best women ever and forever! 🤌🏻I can say with confidence that it was one of the best trips. From the heart to the soul!
Oksana not only professionally organized the program of our tour, but also was the perfect companion for all the exciting adventures that we experienced in the Caucasus. The views were simply amazing!
Elbrus, Derbent, Gamsutl, Saltinskaya and Karadakhskaya gorges, Tobot Waterfall, Datun Church, Goorsky troll language and a bunch of other places - all this left just unforgettable impressions and gigabytes of memory in your phone😄
The locals are very pleasant, but it will not be superfluous to bargain for souvenirs with them🥸
In a comfortable bus, we sang songs, watched TV shows and were filled with anticipation of the upcoming beauty of Dagestan.
We spent the night in quite comfortable hotels. There was hot water, good beds and breakfasts. In truth, you don't need anything else when you're in a hotel just to pack your purchases into a suitcase and sleep. A 10/10 trip!🤘🏻😛

I would like to leave a few warm words from my trip to Dagestan (29.08-07.09).
Majestic Elbrus, the world's only underground waterfall, the deepest canyon in Europe, the point of the Caucasus where the scene from the movie "Avatar" was filmed – these are not all places that you will be impressed with if you decide to go on this tour. You will be able to conquer Elbrus (at least 3,847 meters high), "fly" both through the water pearls of Dagestan and above them, walk 308 steps to get acquainted with the majestic fortress "Naryn-Kala", walk through the magals of the ancient city of Derbent, and also taste the local delicious cuisine. This tour obviously will not leave you indifferent (P.S. it brought me to tears (happiness, of course)).
Many thanks to the accompanying Artyom for his professionalism and ability to quickly solve the problems that arise, to the drivers Denis and Eugene for the easy road. I would also like to say a big thank you to the guide Mikhail for his acquaintance with Pyatigorsk and the Elbrus region, as well as Kagir for such a memorable and colorful acquaintance with the country of mountains (P.S. "raf on donkey's milk" has clearly become the main feature of this acquaintance).
So, if you are still thinking about where to spend your vacation vividly and unforgettable, then Dagestan will definitely win your heart. And GoTrips will help you with this 100%!

The sightseeing tour to Georgia on 12.08-25.08 left only positive emotions and a desire to return again!
The tour program was rich and interesting, which allowed us to enjoy every minute of the trip as much as possible. All hotels, including transit ones, were at a decent level. Comfortable buses with air conditioning, sockets and Internet access made the trip pleasant and convenient.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the drivers and the photographer.
Special thanks to the accompanying Ivan! He not only provided our comfort throughout the tour, but was always in touch, ready to help in any situation. His positive attitude and ability to create a friendly atmosphere made our trip even more memorable. Thanks to Ivan, we felt like part of a large and friendly family, which made the trip truly unforgettable.

We went to Abkhazia, it's a kind of small paradise, everyone should go.
About the work of the travel agency
At the stage of discussion, booking vouchers, it was pleasant and important that all questions were answered, when any difficulties appeared, all questions were resolved very quickly, all questions asked (even stupid ones) were answered in as much detail as possible, thanks a lot for that
Road
We were traveling by bus, we were comfortable, we got the hang of how to sit down more conveniently, even lie down, of course, this is not a train and you should not expect maximum comfort.
Guide.
We had Andrey, a wonderful man, who solved all embarrassing situations quickly, concretely, without unnecessary words
Hotel.
We had a guest house with wonderful hosts, very tasty and hearty breakfasts, comfortable rooms. If there were dirty clothes, they were given to the hostess, she returned clean ones. A pleasant bonus was the presence of a hair dryer, iron, this is not available in all hotels.
Abkhazia itself is an incredibly beautiful country that combines mountains, the sea, kind and open people. In general, you just need to see and feel it.

Great company. We chose her for a trip to Georgia (04.09.2024) and did not regret it. A comfortable bus. Colorful views that you can enjoy without any haste. During sanitary stops, you will not be constantly pushed into the shoulders. Special thanks to the accompanying Ivan, thanks to whom the move turned out to be not a difficult test of the body's endurance, but a pleasant journey. He will always help with the choice of places worth visiting, and will help with solving any questions that arise.

Tour to China.🇨🇳
Huge thanks to Artyom! Our folder! He tried to help the group in everything and everywhere. And there were 28 of us!
Everyone has their own temperament and character, and Artyom tried to smooth out all conflict situations. Go to the ends of the Earth with him!
A LOT OF QUESTIONS FOR THE TOUR ORGANIZERS!
There are a lot of omissions and silences.
1. I was shocked by the hotel room! I was told there would be a room with 1 large bed (I was traveling with my husband). In fact, I was given the keys to the room at the reception, where there are 2 small beds and the highlight is the window facing the wall of the building (from my 10 meters), where NAKED women and men were massaged!
I paid 550 yuan extra to be given a room on the opposite side and with 1 large bed PROMISED by the travel agency.
2. Transplanting 17 hours is a special kind of sadomasochism! And they said this 2 days before departure. They offered to check into a hotel at our expense. Where currency is not accepted! (although the operator said there are no problems). But if GoTrip had read a little and searched on the airline's website, then you can check in people for free when the NIGHT TRANSFER IS MORE THAN 6 HOURS!
And much more…
So 7 days passed quickly and richly, thanks to Artyom!
Artyom, you are our sunshine!
You are in our heart forever 💚

Dagestan Tour 05.08-14.08
The nature of the Caucasus is wonderful, the local guide Elena left the most pleasant impression, a sensitive person and a professional in her field. Thanks to her, I will remember Dagestan with warmth. A nice hotel "BAM" in the mountains, I was lucky enough to live in a house with a view of the mountains and the reservoir.
I am concerned about the issue of SECURITY.
1. Boating on the Sulak Canyon. The guides claim that driving is extreme, but everything is safe, and trips leave vivid emotions. I really got vivid emotions. The boat that I and 9 other people were on capsized. The driver did not stop in time, the boat crashed into the shore at high speed and overturned. It was scary. Fortunately, there were only bruises, bruises, and everyone is alive. But do I need such happiness? They did not apologize to me personally, and the money for the boat trip was not returned. After the incident, I Googled whether there had been accidents on boats on the Sulak Canyon before, they were: traumatic brain injury, drowned people, and bruised victims. Is it worth telling tourists then that everything is safe? I do not know if the tour agency will pay attention to this situation, but please, if you have already chosen a tour to Dagestan, cancel the boat trip! It's a miracle that we're still alive.
2. A trip to the Karadakh gorge. They promised a trip to the mountains in two minibuses. As a result, there was one minibus and one regular bus, which is not designed for safety reasons for trips to the mountains along the serpentine. He was swaying from side to side. I remind you that the day before I capsized on a boat, and there was less and less confidence in everything that was happening. We (the tourists from the bus) asked to call a second minibus, but according to the guide there was no such opportunity. Then we offered to switch places with the second part of the group, with the people from the minibus, to which the guide Alexandra said, "what are these people to blame for?", apparently we are to blame for something. Thank you at least for the fact that the next day all the people were traveling in minibuses.
3. The last stop at the hotel was in Voronezh. We only had two beds in a room for three people, but that's okay. It became scary when I received an SMS about the threat of a UAV attack. It turns out that the threat has been known since the 9th, but the tour route has not been changed.
I understand where I was going, I understand that it is dangerous in the mountains, but I would like not to be so afraid for my life during my vacation.
Please take care of yourself!

Georgia 26.07🇬🇪
When choosing a tour, we looked at a huge number of tours from other travel agencies, but everywhere we were confused by some nuances. And so we came across an excursion tour to Georgia from GoTrips and were delighted! Everything was organized at the highest level, we really had a rest and didn't think about anything, everything was done for us. Their team consists of professionals in their field!
Vanya accompanied us throughout the trip. The best escort, who created the atmosphere of our trip, helped us in everything and went to a meeting, amused us on the road, put on films and music. Thanks to him, the difficult move was much easier for us. Vanya rallied our group not only on the bus, but also at any free moment, organizing gatherings together.
I would also like to mention the drivers Zhenya and Denis, who are professional drivers. The road was long and difficult due to the mountainous terrain, but they coped perfectly.
The tour also provided us with an excellent photographer, Anya, who not only provided us with high-quality photos and videos throughout the trip, but also, together with Vanya, did not let us get bored.
Georgia is certainly gorgeous with its views, all the excursions were organized at the highest level. On the territory of Georgia, we had excellent guides, Helen and Roman, who told and showed us a lot of interesting things about their country.
In general, we were very impressed with the trip! Thanks to the whole GoTrips team for such emotions!

A trip to Dagestan. 05.08.
Dagestan should definitely happen to everyone. But I want to get only positive emotions and memories from the trip. Dagestan itself is magnificent, the guides are wonderful, and I certainly want to come there again and again. The questions are huge about the organization of recreation by the company.
When I was planning a trip to Dagestan, of course I understood where and how I was going, I understood that this was a test of strength, to some extent, but I did not assume that this would be a test of survivability.
I can't say anything bad about the hotels, I was lucky in this regard. But a bunch of unclear issues that were not answered somewhat overshadowed the expectations of the rest.
One of the most attractive points of the trip - boating along the magnificent Sulak Canyon - almost became the end point in my life for me. Extreme skating for me took place with my eyes closed, because this is super extreme skating. Partly because our arrival turned into an attempt to survive under an overturned boat on the shore, which tried in every possible way to drown me in the water of the canyon. For the first time in my life, I realized what "the whole life flew before my eyes.".. Of course, a huge thank you to all the men who were able to turn the boat over in a matter of minutes, but today, when the emotions subsided, I realize that the count was for seconds. Of course, I received an apology from the host, but from the accompanying Alexandra, neither at that moment, nor that day, nor on any of the days before the end of the trip, I did not hear a word about this. I didn't hear any talk about a refund for such a "successful" trip, or the words "how do you feel".
But at the end of the trip, Alexandra very smartly collected money for the insurance, which I had not seen in my eyes since the very beginning of the trip. In response to my question, why didn't I see my insurance, Alexandra said that "it's in case something happens to you"
In light of the above, it sounded at least funny, at most scary: what else should have happened to me so that I could see the document that should insure my life and health during the trip. To give her credit, she admitted her mistake.
The day after the overturned boat over my head, we were waiting for an equally fascinating attraction - a trip along the mountain serpentine by bus, which is not designed for these purposes. But only a "select" part of the vacationers. It is worth mentioning that initially we were told about 3 minibuses for the whole group. We all know perfectly well how they drive in Dagestan, and when this happens on a big bus swinging from side to side, over the edge of a cliff, you begin not only to fully feel the flavor of local driving, but also to remember that you did not have time in this life, and think where you sinned so much. Moreover, almost all those who capsized on a boat the day before got on this bus, by a happy coincidence. We were just thrown back in our memories for a day.
Due to the fact that the bus, despite the most extreme driving, still could not catch up with the minibus, our part of the group arrived at the point of the excursion program much later, and once again we were unlucky, a downpour began, and we simply did not have time to reach the Kradakh gorge.
That's how the phrase suggests itself here, "once it's an accident, two times it's a coincidence, three times it's already a pattern."
To a completely reasonable remark about unsuitable transport, we were met with bewilderment on the part of the escort, and when we offered to switch places (since everything is fine in her opinion), I quote "And what are these people to blame (meaning those who rode in a minibus)". It seems that it means that we are to blame for something... 😏
Nevertheless, the bus was changed for us. And soon, out of nowhere, two more minibuses appeared, although Alexandra convinced us that three minibuses would be the next day.
I would like to say a lot about Alexander in general, but I think the general message is clear.
Of the positive things about the organization, all the words of praise to our guide Elena. This is the person who made me fall in love with Dagestan as much as possible. An amazing girl and a wonderful person, she found time and words for everyone.
To summarize. Dagestan is mandatory to visit. The program itself is wonderful, there are many places, locations, excellent guides. Dagestan is love, freedom, beauty, indescribable emotions, but on such tours you really want to be accompanied by a person who not only loves to travel, but a person who loves and knows how to work with people, this could smooth out many moments.

I would like to express my great gratitude for an interesting, unforgettable tour to Dagestan (05/18/24_27.05.24). My heart remained somewhere between the celestial ranges in the gorgeous mountains of the Caucasus. It feels like we came with a group of close friends to visit relatives in Dagestan. Everything is perfectly matched - locations, places where you can eat delicious food, gorgeous views and beautiful photos. The tour program is thought out to the smallest detail - and this is the merit of Go Trips. A good atmosphere and a great mood are Oksana's charming escort and Polya's photographer. The feeling of safety, confidence and comfort are the drivers Georgy and Ivan. Thank you for a great trip. Next time, just with you. Go Trips you are the best!

Sightseeing Tour to Georgia! Thanks to GoTrips for a wonderful trip! There were many fears that it would be hard, hot, etc. but in the end the trip turned out to be very interesting, intense - there was no feeling at all from the change of locations and types of fatigue, only delight. The program is great - we traveled all over the country, tried to look into all its corners thanks to the tour guides, rested at sea. I recommend it!

I would like to share my impressions of my trip to Georgia (07.07).
A country that fascinates with its beauty at first sight, and people are so open and welcoming that they do not want to leave here.
We had a rest in the village of Gonio, very convenient location, not far from Batumi!
We chose the Voyage hotel, we really liked the fact that there was a swimming pool, the sea is 5 minutes away.
The breakfasts are very tasty, I always left full.
The rooms are very comfortable and the hosts are helpful.
I would like to thank the Go Trips team for a wonderful vacation.
Our drivers (Gennady and Sergey)- professionals in their field!
The maintainers, namely Vanya!
A man who found an approach to everyone, the way he communicated with children and adults speaks about his professionalism.
I always defused the situation, helped and supported!

We went to Dagestan with this travel agency. It was the most exciting and memorable trip. This trip is not for those who like to bask in the sun with "all inclusive". If you are lovers of outdoor activities, get ready to get a lot of positive emotions, unforgettable impressions, new interesting acquaintances. Special thanks to the bus drivers for the easy way, Natalia accompanying them for useful information, for the friendly attitude and Elena the guide, thanks to whom we got acquainted with the history, culture and many interesting facts of Dagestan.

Minsk-Dagestan 18.07-27.07
WATER:
Locals drink water from natural sources, so tourists are also offered to try it. But here you have to be careful, because there is a risk of participating in a rotavirus tour of the toilets of Dagestan)) That was the case for half of our bus. If you want to protect yourself, we recommend taking 1 tablet of Nifuroxazide in the morning for the first 5 days.
REVIEW OF THE TRIP:
The organizer is Pavel.
The program of the trip itself was very intense, incredibly beautiful and fascinating views could not leave anyone indifferent. But there are many questions about the organization itself.
The first thing that was very disappointing was that the stories that are posted on Instagram absolutely do not correspond to the picture that is being formed in fact.
There were no funny songs on the bus, nor any minimal acquaintance. The organizer's job was only to collect money and recalculate the locations. In short, no one tried to create a friendly atmosphere.
As for the road itself:
1. Super loud music / TV shows on the bus, which were played from 7.00 am to 00.00. Requests to make it quieter were enough for an hour.
2. The stops were very unevenly distributed and most of them were paid and dirty. They could also say that the stop was in three hours, but in the end they waited for all five.
At night, six stops were made with a long duration purely for drivers.
4. The stop for lunch was at roadside canteens, where most often there was expensive and not particularly tasty food.
THE TOUR ITSELF:
On the third day, an excursion to the Elbrus region was planned. No one has ever written that it is necessary to pay attention that it may be cold at the top of the mountain, so you need to take warm clothes with you. But already during the trip they offered to rent a jacket (500-600 rubles). We were given 2.30 hours to climb, for which we additionally paid,
taking into account that it takes 40-50 minutes to climb in one direction. And you can also walk to it, walk and take pictures on the observation decks, and if you want, go in to sit and drink / eat in a cafe with beautiful views.
Day 4. The ancient city of Derbent, there were a lot of expectations, and as a result we were given an hour and a half along with an included excursion for an additional fee. Again, there was no opportunity to walk around the castle, go somewhere to admire the beautiful views. But after that, we just sat for an hour and waited for the whole group to buy souvenirs. This begs the question of why it was impossible to initially give more free time so that everyone could do what they want.
Next, the Lun ekranoplane was planned, it was necessary to drive about 20 km from Derbent in the opposite direction from the hotel, so the organizers suggested not wasting time on the way to this attraction, but immediately go to the hotel in Makhachkala in order to meet the sunset at sea. Without hearing everyone's opinion, we went to the hotel. The request to take us all by bus to the sea was rejected for no reason, although the money for the tour, which for unknown reasons did not take place, was not refunded. Of course, we did not have time for sunset, as we were at the hotel only at 9 o'clock.
Day 5. Moving to the mountains. We were moved into a house that had just been renovated. There was a big hole in the ceiling in our room on the second floor and every night, pigeons were making a lot of noise there from 5 a.m., it was impossible to sleep. There was always a puddle of water near the toilet. And during the three days of our stay, we still could not find a host to solve these problems.
The breakfasts were monotonous every day. Moreover, one day the group that arrived first ate porridge with various additions, and we already got just a plate of porridge.
Upon arrival in the mountains, the group was divided into three minibuses. Personally, we managed to get to the very cheerful, kind and attentive guide Abdula. He managed not only to introduce us to the culture of Dagestan, but also to create a real Caucasian family. We will definitely return to it, but, unfortunately, no longer with the help of a travel agency.
Also, I will attach additional expenses that we have encountered. As you can see, they were daily.

She returned from a trip to Dagestan on May 9-18. It is difficult to describe your impressions in words. There was everything – alpine meadows, snow peaks of Elbrus, mountains of all shapes and textures, and even the sea. Emotions just take over when you are surrounded by all this incredible power for 360 degrees. The nature and hospitality of Dagestan residents did not leave anyone indifferent. We tasted homemade dishes of Dagestani cuisine, touched the culture, and learned about the preserved traditions of the Dagestani people. For that, many thanks to the local guides Zainab and Elena 👏🏻
I would like to express my special gratitude to our escort Artyom, he is just a darling. The guy is exactly in his place. The best escort I've ever traveled with. Always on the positive side, with a smile, jokes and uplifting music. He was attentive to every tourist, promptly resolved any issues that arose. He managed to create a warm and friendly atmosphere in the group.
A huge bonus was the professional photographer Anya, who selflessly made beautiful photos for us.
To sum up, I want to say that even despite the minor flaws (which are inevitable in such tours), it was an amazing journey that will remain in the memory and heart for a long time.
Thanks to the GoTrips team for this opportunity! 💔

I want to share my impressions about the trip to Dagestan on 5.10.24. I would like to say a special thank you to Natasha, who was with us both in fire and in water. The excursions were interesting, the food was good, the hotels too. I thought that 6 days would be enough, but they turned out to be very few for rest, I did not want to leave. Dagestan will be remembered for a long time, it is incredibly beautiful there!!!
