Hello everyone! I finally found the time to write a review about the best vacation of my life. To say that we were absolutely delighted would be an understatement. Emotions were overflowing literally every day of the “Week in Adygea” tour.
To begin with, I would like to thank Alexey and Ekaterina for their participation, warm human attitude, quick answers to all questions of interest and, it seems to me, sincere love for their work;) I was pleasantly surprised by such sincere communication, in contrast to the memorized banal speech of employees of all travel agencies.
And that’s how I came across this site adventure-guide.ru... After last year’s yet another banal, I would even say parasitic and nauseating beach holiday, pretty tired of boredom and idleness, even the child howled. Then I thought that it was definitely time to call it a day, and this time everything simply had to be different! The soul demanded action and extreme sports. The opposite of a beach holiday, it seems to me, is the mountains. But the question arose: is it possible to go to the mountains with a child? And after googling a little, I ended up here) They convinced me that this tour was quite suitable for a 9-year-old child, and without hesitating for a minute, I chose it. But still, if you have a quiet child at home (and who doesn’t know how to swim!), then it may be too early for such trips. And if you’re a freak like me, who storms the tallest trees and canopies of playgrounds almost from the first steps of her life, then this tour will make both you and your child choke on emotions and impressions. And if you are reading these lines, then I am almost sure that your child is the same as mine;)
There were no complaints about the organization and service. The transfer was already waiting for us at the exit from the airport. The hotel is cozy, country-style, with home-cooked food and friendly staff. In principle, I am generally unpretentious in this regard; I am always more interested in the tour program and the external environment than the comfort within four walls. And I hate reading the endless quibbles of the majority in reviews. There is only one caveat. The list of recommended items does not include a swimsuit. And we took it just in case, I thought that it wouldn’t be needed at all. If you are traveling in the summer, a swimsuit is a must! For swimming in the lake not far from the hotel, for daily diving into waterfalls and mountain rivers, and for evening swimming in the hotel's summer cottage pool (It is quite large and clean. And if not you, then the child will definitely want to splash around there).
I will not describe the tour program itself for one simple reason - you need to see it with your own eyes and experience it firsthand;)) And there is quite enough information on the website. The important thing is that we wanted extreme sports, and we got it! Literally every day))) And I even managed to snatch it during a seemingly measured horse ride. At first I didn’t want to describe the details, so as not to scare me, but then I thought it was better to warn, since the trip was still planned with children. In short, it is no secret that horses are very cowardly animals. And my horse Gray, passing by the tourist tents, was only frightened by the sharp rustling of the awning from a gust of wind and suddenly rushed straight into the bushes, trying to throw me off as he went. I still fell off my horse, but I escaped, as they say, with a slight fright, and a few bruises... (At first I was worried that my daughter was put on a separate horse, and then I thought, thank God, otherwise she would have flown with me.) The girl instructor turned white, either from fear for me, or from my supposed indignation at this force majeure, and was shocked when, instead of screaming and complaining, getting on the horse again, with burning eyes, she said: “Cool! A real extreme tour!” In short, if you have doubts, you can simply refuse this walk. But the stable managers said that they will now more carefully monitor the horse route for such situations. So I think everything will be fine. Another one of my most vivid impressions was visiting the Mishoko extreme park. After flying along the trolley over the abyss, in order to get to the return trolley, you had to climb an absolutely sheer rock above a cliff in a gorge, 150 m deep, on narrow planks, and sometimes without planks))) (with reliable double insurance, of course). This, of course, was a big surprise for me, who is terribly afraid of heights, to put it mildly! And the most terrible test for me was climbing up this route along the famous stairs with the popular name “And how?”. Because this is not an ordinary staircase, but with a reverse slope towards the cliff! But my daughter, unlike me, calmly covered this route, as if she had already walked along it a hundred times (and she was the smallest of the whole group). Although the two older boys initially refused this idea. But she was most impressed by the canyoning, especially when she was thrown from the height of a waterfall (not very high) into the river. Ahha)) I will never forget her eyes - a mixture of surprise, piggy delight and splashed adrenaline:D Moreover, her beloved Vasek was the extreme instructor. Mom wasn’t really needed there either, she just walked with Vasko by the hand:D
In general, in conclusion, I want to say that this tour completely changed my ideas about vacation. Now all sorts of Turkey-Greece are receding into the very background. Maybe for some people this is a constant norm, but for us this is the first time! My daughter is now raving only about Adygea))) And we will definitely spend our next summer vacation in the mountains! Just like winter;) Because we decided to give up beach holidays (in the mainstream sense) forever. And if it’s the sea, then let it be surfing or diving))
