I would like to express my gratitude for organizing a tour to Dagestan. The tour was interesting and eventful (sometimes even very intense). Special thanks to our accompanying Oksana for her professionalism, inexhaustible energy and positive attitude. ♥️🔋💥Thanks to her, the whole bus became a "BIG CAUCASIAN FAMILY"🧑🧑🧒🧒Good luck to you! And we are already planning our next trip with GoTrips.🚌

Tour to Dagestan ⛰️
Unforgettable views of the beautiful Dagestan definitely conquer with their beauty. A well-designed and rich tour program allows you to get a lot of different emotions and, although a little, still touch the culture of this country. Despite this, the lack of thoughtfulness of some issues slightly smoothed out the positive emotions received. What you need to be prepared for:
1) You may have to live on this tour not in Pyatigorsk itself, but near Pyatigorsk (if you want to look at Pyatigorsk, you will have to take a taxi)
2) The same thing with Voronezh (you may have to live not in Voronezh, as stated in the program, but near Voronezh)
3) If you suddenly live in the wrong hotel where you will have breakfast, do not want to go on the proposed excursions on one of the free days, be prepared for the fact that after breakfast, you will be offered to get back to the hotel either on foot or hitchhiking. That's how you will walk along the road and get acquainted with the everyday life of local residents (partly interesting, sometimes extreme).
We went on a tour to Abkhazia and left a piece of our heart there. It was unforgettable. Thank you very much to Alexander, you are the best! The excursions are top-notch, the people are super, the evenings are soulful. I'm sure this won't be our last trip together.
Hello, I want to share my impressions and feedback about the trip to Dagestan on 29.08
Before the trip, I could not have imagined that mountains could be SO bewitching.
Thanks a lot to our guide Kagir, who will make the trip unforgettable, showed us the beauty of Dagestan and immersed the flavor of the area.
Thanks to our colleague Artyom, who made this trip comfortable and atmospheric.
The whole trip from the first to the last day was fun, exciting and incredible.
Gotrips, prepare an updated tour to Dagestan, we want to return!
I would like to sincerely thank the GoTrips team for the trip to St. Petersburg and Karelia! It was a wonderful trip and everything went well! Karelia is very beautiful, Peter also got into the heart 💔 Many thanks to the accompanying Artem! Everything went very cool, fun and organized, it would definitely be sad without him. Also thanks to Julia's photographer! I am sure that I will also spend the next trip with the GoTrips team 🤗
MURMANSK 02.01-07.01
Incredibly beautiful and interesting places to visit and at the same time a disgusting organization. The logistics were not thought out at all. Of the 6 announced days, you will be on the road for 3 days. So, everything is in order!
Before we had time to leave Minsk, changes had already begun, and it was officially announced that the cost of boating would increase from 4,000 to 8,000, and the air rides would be canceled altogether. The reason for such innovations is the holidays in Russia. I have a question - and when the organizers of the tour booked the seats, they did not know about it? Why weren't we informed about the price increase in advance so that we could plan our budget?
We were driven the whole trip by one driver who was driving for DAYS, sleeping during sanitary stops. This is the first time I've seen this in my entire bus tour experience. It's not safe.
The first day in Karelia was very good, the winter landscapes are incredibly beautiful, and the Ruskeala Mountain Park captured my heart. Then we had an overnight stay in Karelia, where we had 3-4 hours to rest and sleep, because the departure to Murmansk was at 5 a.m. The question is, why did we stay there at all, if we could have gone straight to Murmansk and had a rest there, and gone on a city tour in the evening.
As a result, we left Karelia at 5 a.m. and arrived in Murmansk at 2 a.m. And not even to Murmansk, but to the suburbs. I had planned to walk around the city in the evenings, but it turned out that we just lived in the woods, where there was really nothing nearby.
The third day is Teriberka, this is the only day when we just walked and enjoyed the views. Special thanks to the local guide, thanks to him this trip became more fun and informative. but! The captain of the ship told us that whales only come in March, when the cod breed. No one else has ever seen them in those parts! One more thing, after boating, we spent more than an hour to find a place to eat, I believe that the organizers could have taken care and booked the dining room in advance. By the way, it was very tasty there.
On the fourth day, we were supposed to leave for home, but since we spent a day moving to Murmansk, we still had a tour of Murmansk and a visit to the Sami village.
A very good guide in Murmansk, but we ONLY had AN HOUR for him to show us something, it's just terrible. We still had to get to the Sami village, which turned out to be a complete disappointment in 5,500. We were promised that they would be waiting for us there, that everything would be for us, and also that there would be lunch. As a result, we arrived, and they didn't assign a guide to us, they just told us to go for a walk. Yes, there were deer and huskies, but we have already seen all this in Karelia and Teriberka. As a result, at one time there were several tour buses in the village, a local village worker told us something, but it was not always clearly audible because there were a lot of people. There was no food! There were no rituals, as shown in the video in the advertisement, either!!! I don't understand why it costs 5,500 at all, it would be better if we walked around Murmansk for a day and at least saw something there. Plus, the people who didn't go to the Sami village had to just sit and wait on the bus for 2 hours. Why not choose excursions so that if someone is not going, they have the opportunity to take this time and walk somewhere on their own.
The trip home was 1.5 days and we passed St. Petersburg, why not increase the cost of the trip and add a day in St. Petersburg. We slept the night, walked around St. Petersburg during the day, and went home at night. I think that would be great.
There are no complaints about the hotels, the rooms were clean, warm, and wifi was working.
In general, it's a good destination, beautiful places, and incredible northern Lights, but the organization leaves much to be desired. Please work on this tour better.
PS. it is very unpleasant to hear the escort and the driver discussing in the evening how nervous the tourists on our bus are, this is a complete disrespect for us, and they also laugh at the fact that our tourists complained that the airlift was canceled and there is no wifi on the bus.
To say that I am absolutely delighted is to say nothing 🤩
We took a tour to Dagestan with a friend with a wonderful guide Polina.
Polina showed us Dagestan exactly as it is, breaking the stereotypes of many. We saw landscapes of unrealistic proportions, good-natured people, and received a lot of positive and extreme emotions. 🫶🏼 One of the main things is that our guide was able to unite us into one big friendly family. During the tour, a lot of new acquaintances appeared, with whom we will continue to communicate, and maybe we will go on another tour 😅
Murmansk Tour 02.01.2025-07.01.2025 (08.01)
The bus is not comfortable. It was either very hot or very cold. The windows were freezing. There was no Wi-Fi, although it was claimed.
The program was completely different.
Immediately after departure, we were told that there would be no sledding in Sortavala, citing the fact that there was a big weekend in Russia. People didn't bother and found out that there was skating that day after all. We got up at 5 a.m. and arrived at the hotel at 10 a.m. There was no point in making such an overnight stay, since we didn't have a rest anyway. We left for Murmansk in the morning, and arrived at 2 a.m. instead of 10 p.m. Before leaving for Murmansk, there was a conflict on the bus about the Sami village. It was supposed to be on the last day, as an alternative to FREE TIME in Murmansk. They told us on the bus that the village was on the way to Murmansk and those who were not going would have to sit on the bus. But we didn't get to the village that day. It was also announced to us that boating in Teriberka will be at a different price. In the contract, it was 4,000 Russian rubles. The day before the ride, we were told that the price was 8000 Russian rubles. We had to ride for this price. There was no way out, because that's what we were going for.
We did not arrive at the hotel at the appointed time. We spent a maximum of 4-5 hours in the hotel, there is no question of a normal rest.
The bus was late for an 8.30 a.m. tour of Murmansk, which lasted an hour less, and it was not possible to see the city or take pictures.
On the last day, we stopped at the Sami village of "lights of Imandra" on the way, 5,500 people were charged and lunch was offered separately for 1,500. On the website of the lights of Imandra, the entrance fee for an adult is -2500. We don't know what happened to the price. In the Sami village, people were not fed (according to the visitors). The people who stayed on the bus had to walk for 2 hours on their own in the cold. They didn't even take us to the gas station to eat.
Arrival in Minsk was announced on the 7th in the evening, and arrived on the 8th in the morning. Bus tickets to another city were burned.
In addition: after all this, we contacted the company's manager. Not only did they not apologize to us, they also spoke to us in a sarcastic manner. As for our free time in Murmansk, we were told that we should have stayed there, and then taken a taxi to Apatity (5 hours drive) on our own. Pay for the tour, pay for additional excursions that are included in the price under the contract, pay for additional transportation, which is also included in the price under the contract. And if there is no Internet (now they don't connect SIM cards to Belarusians), go to a cafe, ask for Wi-Fi and help to call a taxi to Apatity (which won't go there on a polar night and frost -30).
Were on a trip to Dagestan on 19.10.2023
What should I write? Yes, everything is cool. Everything is clear and well-coordinated and comfortable. Thank you for the trip to Elbrus.
Thank you to the accompanying Kristina, she is well done. It takes nerves of steel to hold and explain to everyone many times.
And she has them.
Thanks to the drivers Roman and Dmitry, for comfortable and safe driving, as well as for the musical repertoire.
Thanks to our guides on excursions in Dagestan.
Who doubts to go or not. Definitely go👆
I would like to add one free day to take a walk around Makhachkala.
Thank you very much for the wonderful trip to Dagestan. It was very cool, the incredible Dagestan conquered my heart. Special thanks to the guide Zainab for her patience with us and interesting stories about Dagestan, to the minibus driver Izmail for the atomosphere, music and comfortable ride ❤️ I already want to go back.
Dagestan Tour 05.08- 14.08
For the first time in my life I am writing a negative review
1. Let's start with the road itself:
The sanitary stops were very unevenly distributed and most of them had dirty and paid toilets, 15 minutes each and 50 people in line.
Lunch stops were at roadside cafes/canteens that worked by barter with bus drivers and escorts. It was not particularly tasty and expensive.
2. The job of Alexandra's escort consisted only of collecting money and counting places. And of course, if she likes you, you will go with her to the best hotels shooting funny stories. And the rest go to dirty and broken rooms.
3. Faced with a problem when checking in in Makhachkala, how is the distribution going on, who will live in which hotel? But no one could answer this question for us(
The escort said that she was not doing this, but the office, and the office threw everything on the escort.10 people were settled in the Leon Hotel and the rest in the Andalusia Hotel. The photos on the Internet do not match, apparently these are photos of rooms from the second floor, we lived on the ground floor. The rooms are smoky, dirty, and the bed linen is stained with blood. We went to another building for breakfast, where we waited for him for about an hour, because they were not ready for us. The cutlet with pasta that was taken out due to freezing, about San. the conditions are silent when there was a buffet in Andalusia.
Also, when asked about the cost of the hotel, we were told that the cost of the hotels is the same. Are you serious? Google will help you, the Leon hotel 1500 rubles a day, the Andalusia hotel from 3300 per day. When checking into Leon, it was clear that no one was waiting for us..
4. They only take souvenirs to places where they have some buns from sellers. In general, do not see each other, but the fact that you buy everything on the last day, you can start from the first days of the trip. For example: spices in the mountains are 400 rubles, and in the city they are exactly the same for 250 rubles, churchkhela is 250 and in the market it is exactly the same for 80.
5.Safety precautions are 0 in almost everything! On extreme boating, one of our boats capsized right off the coast. Therefore, think carefully about whether you should trust them with your life.
6. When we were going to check into a hotel in the mountains, the accompanying Alexandra wanted to smooth over the situation for the Leon hotel, but alas, here too (she showed us rooms with a balcony and views of the lake and mountains, but for some reason there was no distribution like in other hotels, who would live in which room, the result: the room it wasn't bad, but we didn't have any balcony, much less a view from the window (
7. Separately, I would like to say a Huge Thank you to our Guide Elena. She is a professional in her field!
Dagestan itself is GREAT!
Stunning views and indescribable emotions.
Good afternoon, I want to thank your company for the most wonderful trip that you gave us.This is just an incredible Dagestan.So much beauty and different, a sea of impressions, just an ocean of positivity. Thank you very much to our accompanying Oksana and our drivers Roman and Denis, on the way they became just family people to us, they are cool.Thanks again for an unforgettable trip.
Good afternoon! I was on a Peter tour recently+ Karelia. Since I've wanted to visit St. Petersburg and Karelia for a long time, my expectations were high and they didn't let me down.
The organization of the trip is at a good level, Oksana's escort is just a smart girl, the hotel rooms were not bad (I thought it would be worse), I also liked the program of the trip.
Special thanks to the drivers Roman and Peter for safe, fast and comfortable driving.
Thanks for the rest)
Scammers!!!! Today I went to the police station and wrote a statement about them. Yesterday I visited their office and left an official complaint in the book of reviews and suggestions. The book is full of complaints. I have signed a contract with Avtotourline LLC for the provision of travel services, and the tour service has been paid for. But not a single commitment has been fulfilled by them. Ekaterina Yarshevich, on whose behalf the contract was concluded, cannot explain anything, refers to the management, who, according to her, is abroad, the management does not have a work phone, they do not give a personal one, communication is only through mail, where the answer is within 14 days. Instead of a dream vacation, you will have to spend time in court.
18.08 I went on an unforgettable tour to Dagestan! This is one of the best trips of my life, definitely. I liked absolutely everything! You can talk about mountains forever, but it's better to see them with your own eyes… I would like to thank everyone involved in creating such a journey. Special thanks to the accompanying Natalia, guides Zainab and Kagir, our drivers! Everything was great!
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 am delighted with the trip to Dagestan. At first I was doubtful, since it was the first time I went through the company and I will say that I will go again.
I want to express my gratitude to Polina, the drivers Ivan and my Wife, it would be boring without them)
It was hard to get on the bus at night and the seats are a little hard.
The hotels are great, the guides are just super Zainab and Lena, special thanks to them❤
I was impressed, thank you❤
Tour to Dagestan (18.05-27.05)
In addition to wonderful transport, cool hotels and delicious food, I really want to express my gratitude to our escort!
Oksana- you are the top person I have ever traveled with (and I have 19 countries under my belt)
The rest could have been good, but with such an escort it became 12/10.
I highly recommend a tour with her!
Thank you gotrips for such guys!!
I really liked the tour to Dagestan (13.07.-23.07.2024). Very polite volunteers, guide, escort. All the excursions are very interesting, the food is delicious. Bus with air conditioning, comfortable seats. Everything is just great. I advise everyone. I'll be happy to go again.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the most wonderful tour to Dagestan.
Thanks to the wonderful Kristina for the wonderful escort on the trip. Everything was at the highest level from the beginning to the end of the trip.
To photographer Yana for her patience and professionalism. I haven't seen such burning eyes while working for a long time.
To drivers Roman and Dmitry for a safe and comfortable road.
To the professionals in their field - guides, Mikhail, Kagir and Zainab for fascinating and informative stories. It's hard and painstaking work, which I really appreciate.
I would be happy to recommend a tour to Dagestan to my family and friends.
Thank you for introducing me to such beautiful places, these mountains will be in my dreams for a long time!
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!
We went to St. Petersburg for the New Year, we liked everything very much, we rode a comfortable bus, checked into a nice hotel, and Polina, the escort, is just a darling. 🥰
The program was very intense, but there was also free time.
The Murmansk tour is not about rest, it's about survival. It's not about frost and cold, it's about the lack of proper organization and lies on the part of the tour operator at the stage of luring tourists.
1) the tour offered sledding in Karelia, but in fact we found out that they would no longer be on the bus, as well as plan "B". The fact is that the contractor allegedly went on vacation, but didn't the organizers know about it 3 days before the tour? (On 30.12 we were offered to sign up for an aerial coach, and on 2.01 we learned the facts). At the same time, private companies took us on holidays and the operator had the opportunity to arrange a ride for us at least on the way back, but whether it made sense for them to bother, no one found anything, because they were not looking, they just fed us with promises. This is extremely unprofessional for the tour organizers.
2) boating: the price was raised 2 times, i.e. instead of 4000 it was 8000. People did not expect such expenses initially, someone did not take enough money (my relatives warned me that, firstly, it was dangerous (the same ship capsized on 11/27), secondly, there were no whales at that time, in fact, as our brave spenders told me later..
3) the tour says that people will have free time in Murmansk if they do not go to the Sami village. But! the organizers know perfectly well that it is located in the middle of the road from Karelia to Murmash (yes, yes, you will not live in Murmansk, and this is another lie). So, if you are not planning to go on an excursion to the village, be prepared to sit on the bus for 2-3 hours and wait, because no one will pick anyone up for three hours there and back from Murmansk.
4) Sami village: the tour states that lunch is expected: fish soup, goulash and herbal tea. This did not happen, although, as we understood, the tickets cost 3,000, and we paid 5,500. We still don't know where 2500 went. The more annoying thing is that we counted on it and did not have lunch on purpose before arriving there, believing that we would be fed. Moreover, if you are 15 minutes late to the village, you may not be allowed in, despite the weather, the road and other factors. We were about 10 minutes late and... that's it, there won't be a tour.: we stood and waited for someone to take care of us, but apparently the introductory word was said to another group that was besides us, so everyone just scattered to watch and independently understand what it is..
5) as for Murmash, this is not a joke. We were only in Murmansk on a sightseeing tour. The living conditions, to put it mildly, were beyond good and evil. 1. some couples were accommodated in single rooms 2. if there were 3 beds in the room, there was a check-in. 3. the water was either ice cold or boiling (and so in different rooms, we know because we changed the room, but the situation with the water seemed to be the same for everyone). 4. there is no Internet in one of the buildings (where we lived), so we had to go out onto the stairs of the neighboring building to inform our relatives that we were alive and well. 5. breakfast: barley porridge 2 mornings in a row + the second (omelet on the first day and pancakes on the second)- wait until the second one is brought out.
6) regarding the bus: there were 2 groups traveling- thank God everything was fine with the bus (there was a new Chinese) and the driver was a vampire, apparently, because he drove almost the entire way and did not sleep- an unrealistically cool person! I was driving fast- respect! but the second bus broke down 4 times: once we lit a cigarette, the second time we loaded 46 people besides our 51 (and how did the wheels not burst?). The disadvantage of the organization, again, was that they knew where and in what cold people were being sent, and they could find something newer and safer.
Bottom line: as I wrote above, the tour is not about rest. The program took 3 full days, the rest of the time on the bus was also 3 full days with a tail. The only free time out of this is an hour and a half to buy groceries at the market on the way back. Some of the guys from Murmansk took a plane to avoid traveling for 2 days with a night trip back.
The review is long, but true in fact, as it was. Perhaps he will help someone decide whether it is necessary at all. And maybe even urge the organizers to reconsider the description of the program and write the truth (so at least people will have a choice whether they need such a tour or not) or perform your organizational work at the proper level.
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!
Hello! I want to share my impressions of a trip to Georgia on July 12-27 with an incredible team: accompanying Polina and drivers Andrey and Peter. Everything worked out, the weather, nature and pleasant company. I will also note the comfortable and safe driving style of the drivers. Thank you so much for the wonderful trip, for the opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Georgia and get so many bright and positive emotions! 🇬🇪 The organization of the tour is beyond praise. You are the fire of lights.I will only recommend you to friends and acquaintances.
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.

We went on a tour to Elbrus with our family. The tour was organized wonderfully, it was interesting for both children and adults. We visited many beautiful, incredible places. They tried to show us even more than stated in the program. Special thanks to Artyom, the escort, for his friendliness and humor, and for organizing the trip. And also to the guide Michel, who was with us for a few days and was really interested in the history of these places.
We chose a bus tour to Georgia from the Go Trips company quite randomly and did not regret the result at all. The road was not exhausting and difficult. Sanitary zones every 3-4 hours and no one drove anyone away. There are no questions at all about the organization of the tour! Everything was great! Ivan, a wonderful escort, made the trip comfortable, organized and atmospheric. He gave out his recommendations and advice, trained me to cross the road so as to survive in Georgia) We are very grateful for a wonderful vacation and we will 100% choose Go Trips for further travel!
I really liked it. The attendants are very good, kind, and positive. You can say that they made this trip. The program is rich, all the locations are interesting. Words cannot convey the beauty of these places, it is better to go and see everything yourself. After this trip, I would like to use your services again)))
For a very long time, my husband and I chose which travel agency to go to Dagestan with, and the choice fell on gotrips. We didn't regret a bit, because the guys 100000% did everything to make the rest amazing)
I want to mention the guys, thanks to whom we will remember this vacation for a very long time: the accompanying guide Artyom will always support, answer any question, very pleasant and cheerful, we will listen to songs about auntie, Valentina and the Caucasus for a long time (whoever goes with him will understand)); wonderful drivers: Peter and Roman - their sense of humor and professionalism made the bus trip not as difficult as we were worried about) the only thing we regret is that we did not buy seats on the bus closer to the guide and drivers, it was more fun in front than in the gallery))
Also, special thanks to the local guides Fatima (just one love, a wonderful girl, you can listen to her forever, we tried to be closer to her all the time so as not to miss the stories about Dagestan) and Zainab (she accompanied us to Derbent and Makhachkala, I also really liked her).
All excursions are perfectly organized, we had no problems with check-in and breakfast, everything is clear, the guys did their best. My husband and I are very happy that we chose this tour and gotrips) we will definitely travel with them again
Thanks gotrips ❤️
P.S. We took all the additional excursions and went to the Sulak Canyon to ride boats (for an additional fee), so we strongly recommend taking everything in full, if possible, the emotions are incredible
I was on a Dagestan tour from 20.06. I liked everything, the program is rich, with interesting locations
Special thanks to the escort Natalia! All issues are solved quickly and efficiently, a personal approach to all guests
We recently returned from a tour of Dagestan. We received a lot of positive impressions. The program is very rich and exciting. Special thanks to the accompanying Kristina for her attentiveness and creating the maximum possible comfort during the trip. Many thanks to our drivers, thanks to their well-coordinated work, the road was easy and comfortable.
We are sure that the campaign will flourish if people like Kristina, Roman and Dmitry work in it! You guys are the best!
I hope this review will be useful for those who are currently choosing a tour to Georgia.
I traveled with GoTrips to Georgia 2 times: in 2023 and 2024. If there were some questions about the 2023 trip, in particular about Georgian buses, then in 2024 this tour surprised me!
From the very first minutes at the bus station, Veronica, our escort, met us, who explained everything clearly and to the point.
It was comfortable to go, even by bus. Drivers Gennady and Sergey are professionals in their field!
Transit hotels are good. Especially in Tbilisi. And go to the pool, and to your private terrace and a buffet breakfast.
By the way, an excursion from the local guide Helen was waiting in the city of Tbilisi in the evening! It was 2 hours not of a boring tour, but of informative and interesting information. Thanks to her, I wanted to come to Tbilisi just to relax!)
We stayed in Gonio (a suburb of Batumi) at the Voyage Hotel. Although they wrote that there would be a continental breakfast, they still tried and did something like a buffet! There was a swimming pool and sun loungers on the territory, so when the sea was stormy, there was always a backup water source where you can swim.
Upon check-in, we got acquainted with the residents of the hotel, who were traveling with another company. Their overpayment was more than $100 for all the same services)
Ivan accompanied us back (as in 2023). He is a huge professional in his field who can find contact with a child of 8 years old (hello Yaroslav) and with his grandmother). Always smiling, willing to make contact and help in difficult situations - it's all about accompanying Ivan! Thanks to him, the trip home was not so exhausting, but turned out to be one of the memorable moments of the tour!
Gotrips management, if you are thinking of giving a bonus to someone, then definitely to him!
Thanks to GoTRIPS for the tour!
11.27.24 - 12.22.24. Just returned from the Murmansk Tour. Everything was done at the highest level, the guys are masters of their craft. They will squeeze out maximum emotions for golden time and money. An individual approach to each person will not be ignored. I have been traveling with them for the second time and everything is completely fine, we will continue to cooperate :)
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!
Please read the contract carefully before signing it with them. They immediately take the money, announce one hotel, and then change it to another one that is 50 km from the city center, and they say that the hotel was not specified in the contract. Later it turns out that the breakfasts are not included already in place in the morning before breakfast itself. Also, if you have changed your mind about going because you are ill, keep in mind that this is not a reason to refund your money. In general, read everything carefully and ask questions. But I would not recommend this company.
We went on the Peter - Karelia tour for the weekend. A good and rich program.
Everyone is happy, I liked everything 👍
Special thanks to the accompanying Artem for creating a cool atmosphere and mood😊
Impressed by the work of the go trips team (it was the first touch with you), thank you for organizing the trip.+Karelia, we can safely rely on you to plan further trips. Thanks for the qualified staff, every step is thought out to the smallest detail, you can relax already at the stage of booking a tour. Special thanks to the accompanying Artem for his attention, help in all matters, responsibility, a sense of humor and a great mood, which he charged throughout the trip! It turned out to be unexpected and pleasant that a photographer would be with us on the trip)) Veronica, thank you so much for shooting at every step and patience))
We went to St. Petersburg with my brother, we liked everything from and to)
Our curator is Artyom, just great.The hotel is excellent, the food was delicious.
Peter is just super, everything was shown, told, all the guides are very pleasant and interesting.
I advise everyone, 10/10
We will definitely repeat it again!
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the team of drivers, Roman and Peter, for the safest trip on December 24, Karelia-Murmansk. And the accompanying Oksana, for stoicism and resolution of the situations that have arisen.
For tourists from Vitebsk: boarding and disembarking the flight is literally done "in the field" behind the Voronovsky Ring, keep in mind before you get to the place and whether it is worth considering this option.
I'll give two drivers and Oksana a star each. Guys, deservedly so!!!!!
I liked everything very much 🫶
It was a great trip (Peter+Karelia), a lot of unforgettable emotions, every day was clearly scheduled, so it felt like it had been not 3 days, but a whole week
Thanks to our escort Artyom, he always answered our questions, was on the same wavelength with us, created a cool and fun atmosphere
We really enjoyed our trip to Dagestan! 🛣️
Very bright, memorable for a long time
One day is like a week)) when in one day, you could visit different parts of the year, in different cities and in completely different locations! 🤳
Although the weather was not always sunny, the rainy weather gave us more extreme 😃
The @GoTrips_by tour gathered very bright and interesting locations. At first, I tracked on Instagram for two months what our trip would look like, and then compared everything live. Everything is very beautiful!
All the guys who rode with us are funny, cool and responsive 🤩
Special THANKS, I want to say @natashabondarenko0211 @olavolina @ania_buzuk , we are lucky with you
And thanks to our wonderful drivers, thank you for a safe and comfortable trip!
I am very glad that I chose GouTrips) I chose from about 10 different travel agencies 🫶🏼
It was the first time my wife and I went on a bus tour of this format.. To be honest, it was just awesome. Everything is so thought out that you are like in kindergarten, you don't think about anything at all, they will take you everywhere, feed you (or tell you where to eat), they will take you, they will bring you, they will settle you.. You are just enjoying your vacation!)
I would like to express my special admiration and gratitude to the accompanying Artyom (a positive, calm person to whom you can contact anyone (even the stupidest))) A question for Roman and Peter, the drivers, these guys just cheer up for once or twice. The team is just great!
I will not write about the beauty of Dagestan, it is pointless. You need to see them with your own eyes. In general, definitely
GoTrips - YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
13.06 Karelia
I liked everything very much!
Karelia really has a lot to see and is definitely worth a visit!
A wonderful hotel, delicious breakfasts, the route fully corresponds to the stated one!
The accompanying Artyom could solve any issue quickly and efficiently! I will be happy to go on a new tour!
I was vacationing in Dagestan with the GoTrips company. It was the best and most unforgettable trip! Thanks to our escort Natalia for her help at every stage of the trip. Lena, our guide, fell in love with Dagestan with her stories and stories. Huge thanks to her! ❤ I left with tears of happiness in my eyes — it is impossible not to fall in love with Dagestan. Yes, this is the Caucasus ⛰️
I went to Dagestan with departure on 04/20/2024.
I really wanted to go on a birthday tour where there will be a lot of nature and beautiful views. And this trip fully met my expectations. There were many mountains and breathtaking views. A stunningly cheerful company gathered on the bus. Even after my arrival, I am still very impressed with Dagestan.
Go Trips thanks for this tour and its program, to the drivers for their skill and patience on the road, and to Artyom, Natalia and Oksana for their friendliness, cheerful atmosphere and optimism.
1.08 we went to Dagestan, only positive emotions, you need to see the beauty of Dagestan with your own eyes, it was sad to leave.
Many thanks to our escort Oksana and drivers Maxim and Dmitry. It was very atmospheric! Thank you so much for the trip!
I went on a tour of Dagestan with my friends on 06/15.24- 06/24.24. I really liked the trip. The excursions were interesting, and every day was scheduled by the minute. Emotions overwhelmed my soul from what I saw. It is not possible to describe the beauty of the mountains in words, you need to see them, breathe in the mountain air, feel their power and strength. Thank you very much for such a trip. Special thanks to Kristina, who accompanied us and photographer Alexander, the guys are great fellows.
I want to say a huge thank you to our tour guide Oksana Dagestan.Smart, beautiful and a pro with a capital letter.This wonderful fragile man smoothly and calmly managed to organize a group of very different people and turn them into a team of kindred spirits.Everything is clear, without fuss and emotions, swings.Thank you and happy birthday.This girl has great potential and good leadership qualities.Clever girl!!!
