We found the 3-days hiking and sightseeing with Sergey most enjoyable and stimulating. He looked after us extremely well and was an excellent, friendly and very reliable guide. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone visiting Crimea.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 day hiking tour and were glad that we had booked these days to
a) take the pain out of organizing trips off the beaten track and
b) to get an insider's view of Crimea. What we appreciated most apart from the spectacular views, the food and clear mountain water, was getting to know people like Alex and Lila our lovely hosts in the village, their neighbour Alim who happened to join us for tea, and the "trainee monk" in the orthodox cave monastary. Thanks for encouraging conversation and doing all the translating!
What we would say to visitors of your website is just this: Travelling with Sergey is a lot more than taking part in a well organized tour, it's like travelling with a friend!

Rock climbing:
The routes were polished which I found a little frustrating but the view was magnificent which made up for it. Sergeys encouragement always made me climb better. And a little tip Sergey - if you tell a girl she is a great climber she will always ALWAYS believe you and climb a hundred percent better for it:-) cheers. And walker as well. I reckon I burnt more calories walking those two days than any others in my life! It was SO GREAT
Mulltipitch:
The route was in fantastic condition and the views exhilarating. The weather was perfect and watching the clouds drift towards us then float silently away was a memory I hope I never forget.
The hike (2-days hiking tour Grand Canyon of Crimea + cave towns):
The Crimean mountains in October are an incredible experience. As an Australian I can never recall Autumn flaunting her colours so vivdly before me. The woods were shady and lovely, the streams cold and thirstquenching, the views -green, orange, gold, red tapestries - breathtaking. We ate fresh hazelnuts and pears and other fruits. We visited cave mountains where Sergey's stories brought to life the mountain peoples world - cattle stables, defence fortress, shops and religion. Centuries of the mountain lifestyle and the battles with the Tatars. It is an incredible thing to watch history played out in front of you in your minds eye. The evening we spent in a rural mountain village and the hospitality of the couple was wonderful.
Sergey is a sincere and patient man with a professional attitude and a great sense of humour.

Hello Sergey, Just to say thanks again for the great two day hiking trip in Crimea. it was really great and I will certainly be back for more - the mountain biking sounds very special. The night in village was particuarly memorable, somewhere I'd really like to return to. Foreigners love this sort of thing, especially the good food at the end of the day! You asked for suggestions - to be honest I have no complaints at all about our trip, we just saw great places. Was particularly good we avoided the crowds. It's great to be able to link up with other people as we did, since this reduces the cost quite drastically and also creates a great atmosphere.

Hello Sergey, We just arrived from Kiev in good shape with a rather cold weather in Paris. This message to thank you for the 3 interesting days we have spent with you in this "still preserved" part of Crimea. I really felt your love of nature and people of your place which makes easier for us to capture something of it: It' s a door that you open to let us see what we are able to understand. Hope you will have a good time with other groups and with all your other activities that you manage to do.
