Soviet Tours Recenzje 45

questa nuova esperienza di viaggio organizzato è stata sorprendente per le destinazioni fuori rotta che tendo a prediligere nei miei viaggi, le conoscenze approfondite del tour leader vengono diluite in itinere appassionando e incuriosendo a volte più nell'immaginario storico e culturale che nella realtà stessa

Moldova/PMR
I chose this tour because I have a keen interest in all things Soviet and I was not disappointed. Every day was packed with out-of-the-way places that I would never have found if I’d been travelling independently. The Victory Day parade in Tiraspol was a highlight, as well as the many mosaics we saw all over the country. The guides were keen to share stories of life in the country as it transitioned from USSR to independence, which I found particularly interesting.

A wonderful trip to Tajikistan with our excellent driver and amazing guide Davud who found us incredible hidden gems! A relaxed and interesting itinerary which was just perfect! Many thanks .

I traveled to Iraq with Gianluca between December 2025 and January 2026, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The trip was extremely well organized, with great attention to detail, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The guides were highly knowledgeable, professional, and always available. What truly made this journey unforgettable, however, were the meaningful human connections we built along the way. A deeply enriching experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend!

I went to Iraq with Soviet Tours and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided by this agency. Gianluca is extremely professional, deeply knowledgeable, reliable, easy going and a real problem solver. Forget about mainstream holiday packages! you will get your own customised trip based on your personal interests and needs. Cant' wait to travel again with them.

Went to Turkmenistan with a full 10 day programme, everything went super smooth, the guides weren’t just guides they were friends. And very big shoutout to Gianluca who helped me a lot!

Il secondo viaggio conferma l'esperienza del primo. Itinerari che permettono di capire come funziona quel pezzetto di mondo, accompagnati da guide locali e persone appassionate.

In 2019 we got in touch with Gianlucca from Soviet Tours to organise a trip to the Caucasus. Communication was extremely easy from the very beginning, and he quickly understood exactly what we were looking for. Throughout the whole process, Gianlucca advised and supported us on all practical matters, including visas, flights, and other logistics, which gave us great peace of mind. We travelled in August 2019, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. Our guide, Abdullah, was fantastic and had an exceptional ability to engage with and respond to our many interests — from nature and literature to cultural aspects of Caucasian communities and the historical memory of the genocides that have shaped the region. Highly recommended. We’re already looking forward to more!

Wonderful experience in Moldova/PMR last summer!
The trip was finely organized in terms of schedules and places to visit. Gianluca guides you through the former USSR world with accuracy and care, with particular emphasis on art and architecture. He’ll make you fall in love with every single house of culture and knows how to deal with babushkas! Hope to travel with Soviet tours again!

Tour in Mangystau organizzato in modo eccellente con guide competenti che non ci hanno fatto mancare nulla.

Wonderful experience in Kazakistan. Drivers (Roman, Andrej and Gino) are the best to guide you into the desert, crosswise canyons, organizing camping and all the necessary to live an incredible and wild adventure (they are great chef too!).

Great organization, everything perfect!

Perfect Organisation, amazing places!

Excellent service. They set up exactly what I was looking for and catered to my interests.

I just came back from Turkmenistan. A taylor made trip organized by Soviet Tours that included many interesting sites that combined comfort, adventure and genuine towns in the coast of the Caspian Sea. The itinerary had the correct dose of Soviet and Turkmen, it wasn’t high demanding physically speaking, nor boring, as I was traveling with children. Our guide and drivers were professional,kind and available at all times. I recommend visiting Turkmenistan, thanks to Soviet Tours our trip was adapted to our budget, interests and time.

We travelled to Romania and Bulgaria with Soviet Tours. We found it a very enjoyable and fun experience. Soviet Tours have unique on the ground knowledge, providing access to sights and experiences that would otherwise be unobtainable. Soviet Tours are a great travel partner to consider if you are interested in travelling down the path less visited. Recommended.

We had a great trip through Slovakia with our guide, Marek. His knowledge of, and pride in, his country took us to many extra places on a well designed itinerary.

I took two wonderful summertime tours (the Baltics Tour and Moldova/Transnistria tour) with Soviet Tours over the past couple of years, including one guided and led by Gianluca himself! I have lived and travelled all across the former Soviet Union for many years; however, I didn’t have any connections in these two places and figured that I would let Soviet Tours do the planning – and I’m so happy that I did!

Gianluca is an industry expert and veteran, with a wide base of knowledge on a variety of topics. I really appreciated that he and his tour guides treated all guests the same – thoroughly explaining everything and telling such interesting stories. I liked that the tours brought a wide array of travelers together – from those who have only been outside of their home country several times to well-travelled adventurers.

Gianluca is very responsive to all queries beforehand and I commend him for making it very easy to pay for the tours for travelers from the United States via credit card. He is easy to work with, taking care at creating a great travel group dynamic on his tours! An amazing experience all-around, and I can’t recommend Soviet Tours enough!

Gianluca created a very thoughtful and well planned tour of Moldova and Transnistria! The guides he selected for us were excellent and we were able to see and experience things we never would have been able to without these guides. Highly recommend, worth the money!

I joined a tour through Uzbekistan and Tajikistan with Soviet Tours in April 2025, and it was a truly positive experience. The trip was well organized, with a great balance between guided activities, cultural insights, and free time.
One of the most fascinating aspects was the itinerary itself, which took us off the typical tourist routes and allowed us to discover more authentic and lesser-known places. The local guides were qualified, passionate, and approachable, enriching each stop with meaningful stories and context.
What made the journey even more special was the opportunity to connect with local people—through conversations, visits to everyday settings, and spontaneous encounters that offered real insight into the culture of the countries we visited and how they relate to their Soviet past. The coordinator, with her experience and approach, had a crucial role in making the experience unique.
It was a rich and thoughtfully designed trip, led by a team that clearly cares deeply about what they do. I returned home with plenty to reflect on and a newfound appreciation for this fascinating region of the world.
