What our clients say

A remarkable journey to the Kurils! The organisation was flawless and every detail considered. The Aniva Lighthouse was a long-held dream that came true with AMIST. I had not felt such joy in a long time.

Maria K. tour "Mysterious Island," July 2025

The jeep tour exceeded all expectations. Scenery like this exists nowhere else. The guides know every corner of the island. Cape Velikan and Cape Ptichiy were extraordinary. We will definitely return.

Alexey V. tour "Sakhalin Drive," August 2025

The excursion to Aniva Lighthouse with an oyster lunch at Busse Lagoon was the best day of the holiday. Oysters straight from the water, absolutely fresh. The boat captain shared stories about the lighthouse. Truly special.

Elena and Andrey T. excursion "Aniva Lighthouse and Oysters," September 2025

We took the 12-day "Pearls of the Kuril Islands" tour. Iturup and Kunashir feel like another world — volcanoes, hot springs, wild beaches with black sand. AMIST arranged everything perfectly.

Pavel D. tour "Pearls of the Kuril Islands," August 2025

Winter Sakhalin is a chapter of its own! Dog sledding, snowmobiles, the ice cascades of Tikhaya Bay — the children were overjoyed. And fresh crab for dinner was a wonderful bonus. Thank you, AMIST!

The Orlov family tour "Bright Winter on Sakhalin," January 2026

We flew from Moscow specifically for Sakhalin and did not regret a single moment. The Zhdanko Ridge, Cape Krai Sveta (Edge of the World), open-sea fishing — each day brought something new. AMIST are true professionals.

Viktor and Irina M. tour "Sakhalin-Style Holiday," June 2025

The crab-fishing excursion was the highlight of our time on Sakhalin! We caught the crab ourselves, then enjoyed a banya and fresh crab for lunch. The AMIST team made it a truly memorable experience. We have already recommended it to all our friends.

Artyom S. excursion "Crab Fishing," October 2025
1 / 7

Hong Kong with AMIST is a entirely different level of service. Visa-free entry, transfers, excursions — every detail carefully arranged. Victoria Peak at night takes your breath away.

Svetlana P. tour "Hong Kong — City of Dreams," November 2025

Beijing's scale is staggering. The Great Wall and the Forbidden City are a hundred times more impressive in person than in any photograph. The AMIST guide spoke Russian and knew every stone of the Wall.

Dmitry N. tour "Beijing — Ancient Capital," October 2025

Shanghai exceeded all expectations. The Bund at night, the Jade Buddha Temple, shopping on Nanjing Road. Three hours from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and you are in the future. Thank you, AMIST!

Anna G. tour "Shanghai — City of the Future," December 2025

Hainan is an ideal winter destination. Warm sea in December, thermal springs, tropical fruit. AMIST arranged an excellent hotel overlooking Dadonghai Bay.

Oleg and Tatyana R. tour "Hainan — Tropical Retreat," January 2026

Our first time in China, and going with AMIST was the right choice. Language barrier? We never noticed one. Russian-speaking guide, transport, all tickets arranged in advance. In Hong Kong we even made it to Disneyland.

The Kovalyov family tour "Hong Kong — City of Dreams", March 2026

The Beijing + Shanghai combo tour for 10 days was spectacular. The Terracotta Army, the Great Wall, a high-speed train at 350 km/h between cities. AMIST planned every transfer.

Roman B. tour "Beijing + Shanghai", November 2025
1 / 6

A charter flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is incredibly convenient! No layovers, no stress. Five hours later you're already on a Phuket beach. The hotel was right on the seafront. AMIST handled absolutely everything!

Olga M. charter "Phuket", February 2026

This is our second trip to Thailand with AMIST. Charter, transfers, hotel — everything ran like clockwork. The whole family loved it, the kids want to go back! Pattaya is a great choice for a family holiday.

Igor and Natalya S. charter "Pattaya", January 2026

Samui with AMIST was a dream. A quiet island, coconut palms, sunsets every evening. Our manager Elena found exactly the hotel we wanted. I'm booking for a third time — you simply can't find anyone more reliable.

Kristina L. charter "Samui", March 2026

We traveled as a large group — 8 people. AMIST arranged a group discount and found a villa right next to the beach. A charter with no layovers was the key thing. Straight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk into summer!

A group of friends, Maxim R. charter "Phuket", December 2025

Thai massage, temples, street food and turquoise sea — all in one holiday. AMIST arranged airport transfers and island excursions. We simply relaxed without a care in the world.

Yulia and Sergey A. charter "Pattaya", February 2026

Nha Trang turned out to be perfect for a first taste of Vietnam. Warm sea, delicious pho bo at very low prices, hillside villas. An AMIST charter — no layovers, a direct flight from Sakhalin Island.

Natalya V. charter "Nha Trang", November 2025

Phu Quoc is a genuine paradise. White sand, turquoise water, a pearl factory. AMIST found a five-star hotel at the price of a three-star one. Vietnam has won our hearts for good.

Marina and Denis K. charter "Phu Quoc", December 2025

Da Nang and Hoi An combine beach relaxation with culture. An ancient town with paper lanterns, the Marble Mountains, outstanding cuisine. AMIST arranged everything, including tours of historical sites.

Anton P. charter "Da Nang", January 2026

Ha Long Bay is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. Three thousand islands, a junk cruise, an overnight stay on the water. It all started with a simple call to AMIST. Deep gratitude for the organisation!

Lyudmila F. tour "Hanoi and Ha Long Bay", February 2026

Vietnam offers outstanding value for money. In two weeks we visited Nha Trang, Da Lat and Mui Ne. Everything was organised by AMIST — flights, hotels, transfers. We will definitely be back!

Evgeny and Olga Sh. charter "Nha Trang + Da Lat", March 2026
