Über den Reiseveranstalter

18. März 2025

The tour was excellently organized, every detail was carefully thought out, and every minute well-planned. Participants were surrounded by care and didn’t have to worry about a thing, just relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The food and accommodation were top-notch. I especially want to highlight our guide, Sergey. His genuine love for Altai and deep respect for its nature are truly inspiring, and his warm, thoughtful attitude toward people makes the journey even more special. Traveling with him felt effortless and engaging, there was never a need to worry about anything because he took care of everything. My only piece of advice for future travelers: arrive a day early. That way, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience right from the start. I will wholeheartedly recommend your company to others.
