about tour - Weekend in Krasnoyarsk

28 Oct, 2025

I had a wonderful “Weekend in Krasnoyarsk”! In just four days, I completely fell in love with this city and its stunning surroundings. Many thanks to our guides, Inna and Andrei. I really appreciated how the tour focused on the unique character and authenticity of the region, the information was engaging and felt very genuine. I’m not attaching any photos, as they simply can’t capture the beauty or the power of the magnificent nature of the Krasnoyarsk Region

The tour was well-organized and thoughtfully planned. The program was rich and engaging, without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming. A special thanks to our guide Inna — her excursions were interesting, captivating, and full of valuable insights!! We only regret one thing: the weather didn’t allow us to climb the 'Grandfather’s Shoulder'. However, Andrey’s philosophical perspective on "Stolbism" offered a unique and thought-provoking way to understand this phenomenon. Thank you for a wonderful tour!!
