Roman will “tour” you through some of the local “sanatoriums”, or health resorts, that were so popular to take vacations to in the Soviet Union. Replete with hilarious childhood stories and a unique local perspective, you’re sure to enjoy your time with Roman!

Meet your guide, Roman
Hi! Â My name is Roman, and I was born and raised in Pyatigorsk. Â I’m an English language teacher by trade but my passion is guiding people around my beautiful city and the nearby Caucasus Mountains. Â Our city has a unique place in Russian history with its local mineral waters and becoming a “destination” for vacationers during the Soviet Union. Â I hope you’ll join me in experiencing what makes Pyatigorsk such a great place to live, quirks and all!
