★★★★★We liked the tour. Departure was slightly delayed, but that's a minor thing. We went with colleagues, wanted to unwind after a work week. What I remember most is the trekking through the canyons — the views are simply unreal. The guide kept joking and telling interesting stories. Lunch in nature was very timely. The way back was a bit tiring, but the impressions outweigh everything.

★★★★★The organization of the tour is excellent, everything is clear. The guide is very knowledgeable and answered all questions. The Red Mountains resemble the canyons of the USA. The only downside is the long road from the city, but it's worth it.

★★★★★I recommend it! Unusual landscape, lots of emotions. Anzhelika organized everything perfectly. We went with friends, decided to try something new. The red mountains amazed with their color, especially at dawn. The guide led us along hidden trails, showed places where there are almost no tourists. The picnic was filling, with hot tea. The only thing — the road was a bit tiring, but it's worth it. We returned with a mass of impressions.

★★★★★I liked that you don't have to think about anything. Everything is included. The guide was very caring. We went with family, the kids are delighted with the red rocks. What I remember most is the picnic in nature with hot tea. The climb to the plateau was a bit steep, but the view from the top is incredible. The downside is waking up early. Otherwise everything is great, we recommend it.
