The tour was organized perfectly, and our guide Marina accompanied us throughout the entire trip. Even though there were only three people in the group, the tour went ahead as planned. Not even the Siberian winter cold could stop us, and we were able to enjoy the full program. One of the highlights was that our lunches were arranged in unique and memorable venues. Each place had its own character and served excellent food. The “Eternal Call” restaurant was especially outstanding! Since our group was so small, we explored the city in Marina’s car, which made the experience feel much more personal and comfortable. Despite the freezing temperatures, we even got to celebrate Maslenitsa at the Voivode’s Estate, which was great fun and a truly memorable experience. Marina is a true professional. With her knowledge, enthusiasm, and engaging storytelling, she made us fall in love with Tomsk, a city with more than 400 years of history.
