We can adjust the itinerary according to your needs and the program may be clipped or
extended or you can determine your own itinerary. We can not give prices
for some services (guide, visa supports, Caucasus transfers and accommodation
etc) separately as we do not provide them separately. As soon as we have the exact itinerary
we will price the tour.
To prepare your itinerary, to advise, to make an offer we will ask you the
following questions:
1. Your dates of arrival/departure to/from Russia.
2. City of arrival/departure (generally Moscow or St.Petersburg).
3. How many people in your group.
4. How many days are you going to stay in a city before and after
the Caucasus.
5. In what hotel are going to stay in a city.
6. Do you need any sightseeing city tours.
7. What transfers in a city do you need. Generally people have at
least four:
"International Airport - Hotel" on the first day,
"Hotel - Local Airport" on the day of departure to the
Caucasus,
"Local Airport - Hotel" on the day of arrival from the
Caucasus,
"Hotel - International Airport" on the day of departure
from Russia.
8. How many days are you going to stay in the Caucasus.
9. Is climbing Mt. Elbrus is your main goal in this trip. If you
say "yes" it may take effect on your Caucasus itinerary. |

On these tours you will have your own guide and transport. Also you can slightly adjust
your
itinerary in Moscow or in the Caucasus on the spot.
