Karelian weekend

The company reserves the right to change the order of excursions without changing the program as a whole.  

Excursions to Kizhi Island depend on weather conditions. In case of force majeure (storm, fog, malfunction of water transport), excursions are canceled with subsequent recalculation. 

Failure to appear or be late for more than 10 minutes by the time of departure of the day trip for any reason is equivalent to a refusal and does not entail a refund of the funds transferred to the Contractor, except for the fact of illness, documented from a medical institution. 

Refusing to continue along the route as part of a group tour and returning to the starting point of the tour on your own for any reason is equivalent to voluntarily abandoning the tour. Weather and climatic factors that do not threaten the life and health of the tourists cannot be grounds for a reasoned refusal of the excursion and are considered as a voluntary refusal. 

Insurance is not included in the tour program. The compulsory medical insurance policy is valid on the territory of the Russian Federation. You can purchase additional travel insurance on the website of a Large Country without commission directly from insurance companies.

The period from early May to mid-June is particularly dangerous due to the activity of encephalitic ticks. Prepare in advance for a trip to Karelia during this period – get a preventive vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis, take with you a special ointment, as well as clothes and hats that cover all parts of the body as much as possible.

Mosquitoes are found everywhere from the end of May to the beginning of September, but they are especially active from the beginning of June to the middle of July. Woodlice are most active in the morning and evening. Midges, which look like flies, attack during the day. Horseflies are most active on hot sunny days. Don't forget the mosquito and midge repellent.

Snakes are found in some areas of Karelia. They are non-aggressive, but we recommend that tourists refrain from walking on tall grass and choose closed shoes for traveling.

Air and railway tickets are not included in the price of the tour. You can purchase them yourself or contact us for help.

On the day of the start of the tour, meet your guide at the train station. A sign with the name of the tour. Meeting with train No. 18 (Moscow — Petrozavodsk). If you arrive earlier, wait. If you arrive by later trains than train No. 18, transfer to the location of the group, with partial loss of the program, without recalculation.

Please note the check-out time at the hotel: check-in after 15:00, check-out before 12:00.

When visiting holy places, please observe the dress code (women - skirt, headscarf, covered shoulders. Men — trousers (not shorts)). 

On Kizhi Island, all excursions are allowed only by the staff of the relevant museum. 

When children move in unaccompanied by their parents (for example, with their grandparents, etc.), a power of attorney must be issued.
