Tourists reviews of vacations on Lake Baikal - Page 2

The tour exceeded all expectations. Lake Baikal has truly captured my heart. I witnessed incredible beauty and felt recharged with an energy I couldn't have imagined. In just ten days, you can fully experience the essence of Lake Baikal. If you're looking to reset and rejuvenate, this is the place to go.

I absolutely loved the tour!!! The organization was excellent—everything ran smoothly, and all the promised locations were visited. Despite the long drives in the UAZ-452 buses, there was no sense of fatigue, as everything was thoughtfully planned with well-timed stops and opportunities to explore on foot. Thank you for the countless unforgettable impressions and vivid emotions!!! The tour price was also very reasonable.

The tour was fantastic! The weather was a bit unpredictable, but it didn’t dampen the mood or the overall experience. Our guide, Leonid, was incredible! He knew everything—history, traditions, flora, fauna—and was full of energy, always attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we enjoyed our time. We learned so much about the local way of life and even played a traditional board game, which was great fun. Leonid is such a knowledgeable guide 👍👍👍—with him, you feel confident climbing any mountain. The natural scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Before the tour, I was a bit concerned about the food, but it turned out there was no need to worry—everything was excellent. Our group was also amazing, full of positivity and great energy. Thank you for such a refreshing and uplifting experience!

Thank you so much for the incredible experience!! I loved absolutely everything, from the tour operator's excellent organization to Irina's exceptional guiding. A big thanks to her for the amazing excursions!!

We enjoyed everything! The excursions , transfers , and guides were all top-notch. I would especially like to highlight our curator, Tamara, as well as the guides Yekaterina, Yelizaveta, and Albina—unfortunately, we don’t know their last names. The support from the curators, both for the group and individually, was flawless. You’re doing an amazing job! If you come up with any interesting offers in the future, we’ll definitely consider them. Wishing you all the best, and see you next time! 👏👏👏👍

I liked everything.

The tour was fantastic, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Lake Baikal. Most importantly, our guide Leonid made the experience truly unforgettable. Leonid is incredibly knowledgeable—well-versed in history, local customs, wildlife, and plants—and has a great sense of humor. He made our trip exceptional and was always ready to help organize activities during our downtime after the hikes. Thank you so much for the positive energy!

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Big Country team for organizing the trip of my dreams! From June 12 to 18, thanks to the seamless efforts of their staff, I embarked on the Baikal Wanderer tour. In my opinion, this is the perfect itinerary for exploring the region. It features a guided tour of Irkutsk, a charming historic city, an unforgettable journey along the Circum-Baikal Railway, and an introduction to the crown jewel of Russia, Lake Baikal! The host team managed every detail flawlessly, from the warm welcome to accommodations and the thoughtfully planned excursion program. Our group was accompanied throughout the journey by an exceptional guide, Alexander Domashevsky, a true professional in his field. A highlight of the tour was staying on Olkhon Island, practically on the lake's shore, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in its extraordinary atmosphere. Words and photos simply cannot capture the stunning beauty of this place—Baikal is something you need to experience in person! It’s breathtaking in every season and under any weather conditions. Thank you for a fantastic vacation and an abundance of unforgettable memories!

The tour was absolutely amazing! We were captivated by the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of Lake Baikal—its charm is truly mesmerizing. Our guide, Irina, shared fascinating stories and thoughtfully answered all our questions.
