“Amazing adventure”
A wonderful experience, both for the location and the guide. Chris was a great travel companion, friendly, kind and helpful. Sharing the journey with him made everything even better. Despite the snow, we reached the site, which looked even more picturesque thanks to the snowy road. I absolutely recommend this tour, especially if you’re a fan of Soviet architecture and design.
