Michael, Germany, 2017
Annette and I are well back in Munich / Germany, we will say thank you very much for this great Tour. Johnny is a very friendly and helpful guide. We are so happy that we reach the summit Elbrus.

I would like you to know that we really enjoyed this journey with your company into the russian caucasus.
Your quick services, good information, the phantastic planning of pick up and bring service, the very great mountainguide Vladimir, and all other things were perfectly organized!

Thank you Helicopter Rescue Squad for an amazing experience. Everything from the time we got picked up to the time we left was absolutely incredible. Dmitry Ermakov (our main guide) was AWESOME! All 14 of us summited, but more importantly we met great people, shared laughter, sweat, and determination. Irina with administration answered all my questions, everyone was friendly, the food was excellent, and our non-traditional traverse from South to North went smoothly. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. I hope to be back again and run another Mountain Medicine CME with Wild Med Adventures, LLC in the future.

Thank you and the Helicopter Rescue Squad staff for providing a wonder and safe opportunity to experience Russia and Mt. Elbrus. Everything went smoothly despite my mistake resulting in missing my flight. I had a great time with the other team members, the guide Ivan, the assistant guides, and the hut staff. Thank you so much for your role in allowing me this opportunity.

I want to single out for praise the guide Ivan. He did a great job. It was very impressive to see him concerned with our safety and seemingly being everywhere at once on the summit morning. He is a talented mountaineer. I hope Elbrus Tours considers using him more regularly and more frequently with other tours. He is talented at his job, has a great attitude and made me feel like he genuinely cared about my wellbeing.

Thank you once again and good luck with all your future endeavors.

I am writing to let you know that I am very satisfied with the service we received from Helicopter Rescue Squad in our 2-9th August expedition. In particular, our guide Vasili did a fantastic job. 

In summary, we plan to work with Helicopter Rescue Squad again in our 2017 expeditions.

Take care

I just want to let you know that I had a great time at Mt. Elbrus and came back well to Germany on Monday. The tour organization, the conditions at Base and High Camp and of course the guide were excellent! Thanks for your support in making such a wonderful experience possible!
