I ve travelled a couple of times with

I ve travelled a couple of times with company so far I would rate them as excellent Firstly the communications are prompt and informative with all questions answered fully Secondly I went to countries less well travelled so visa issues were not straightforward but they were quickly and efficiently dealt with Looking forwards now to another trip next year 10 10

Our amazing time in Bulgaria

On the flight to Sofia there was a tiny voice in my head asking what if this is all some complicated scam that voice was extinguished the moment we met our guide Evgeny We were so impressed with him from airport to airport nothing was an effort or a problem he wasn t stressed about anything that we noticed the tour went at the right pace and he was happy to be flexible to suit our needs He is so passionate about Bulgaria and the things he showed us The fact that he grew up under Communism - I think he said to age 7 - added to our experience as he told us stories about singing songs to Lenin in kindergarten Highlights Buzludzha of course the hot springs and our walk in the forest on the last morning before heading back to Sofia And the urbex Hotels I liked them all although Sarah said if we go back to Plovdiv that she d prefer something in the middle of the city My only complaint is the trams start very early in Sofia and the windows at that hotel don t keep much noise out The food was fantastic everywhere all so fresh and the best meal - more about location than anything else - was at the little place next to the waterfront sorry I hardly remember any place names This trip has certainly whetted my appetite to see more former Communist countries and I will be in touch when I m ready to book the next adventure

Always great

I ve used soviet tours 3 times now around the Balkans central Asia and Moldova and every time has been top notch Always well planned itineraries to unusual locations with great guides and while the main focus is on socialist heritage there is much more to them than this I would strongly recommend them and will be traveling with them again

Soviet Tours are the business

Soviet Tours are the business We could not have asked for a better more involved and experienced company to organise our trip to the North Caucasus We were a little apprehensive knowing so little about the area but Gianluca and Soviet Tours took complete care of us They listened to our requests and crafted a magnificent tour which included everything we wanted to see The accommodation was outstanding the itinerary superb but best of all were the guides - Mahgomed and Abdullah - who took consummate care of us I can wholeheartedly say it was one of the best travel experiences we have ever had and our lives were significantly enriched by it We would recommend Soviet Tours a thousand times over Our deepest thanks and gratitude

Modernist Iraq

Highly reliable company and uber-attentive service Travelled around Iraq with them The logistics were smooth and the tour content quite unique in comparison to other itineraries on the market e g a strong focus on the 1960s 1970s modernist architectural heritage of the country

I was keen to check out Soviet Tours

I was keen to check out Soviet Tours because of my interest in Russian and Soviet history and culture but you don t have to be to take one of these tours They suit both the Soviet history buff and non-buff alike I have now taken 3 trips with them since 2022 and they were all I could want and ask for Guides were always of the highest quality and focused on my safety and enjoyment Gianluca was always very responsive with my questions and concerns I would highly recommend Soviet Tours for your next off-the-beaten track holiday

Authentic experiences with the best local guides

I ve traveled with a couple companies to uncommon destinations but definitely Soviet tours has the best itineraries and guides they actually care about the locals and the art the stays have been good and the days are well planned without making things rushed I took the Spomenik and Kyrgyzstan tours The only thing is that their website is not always up to date and there s tours that just don t happen often I m looking forward to joining more adventures with Soviet Tours but I have to wait until I hear back from them to know if the tour I like is happening

Interesting informative hassle free tours

I visited Kyrgyzstan through this tour company in April and they provided the best guides and driver In November I returned to Central Asia Uzbekistan in particular and used their services again and it was also very good and smooth They provide guides and itineraries that are highly specialized usually concerning Soviet era history and architecture but they also coordinate to provide guides for places with other historical eras for example the ancient cities of Uzbekistan Coordination and communication and payment is always smooth and easy through email and other messaging apps

Six countries and counting

I ve visited six countries with Soviet Tours The attention to detail in planning the trips was outstanding and Gianluca was always responsive to individualized itinerary requests and changes Top-notch local guides on the ground where I traveled to The company has provided some of my best travel experiences
