Tourists reviews of vacations in Buryatia

A fantastic tour that truly showcases Lake Baikal. It had everything—steppes, forests, a boat trip from the east coast to the west, and a visit to the Ivolginsky Datsan. It covered everything I wanted to see.

Our trip to the Irkutsk region and the Republic of Buryatia took place at the beginning of July. We visited Olkhon Island, explored the Tunka Valley in Buryatia, and took a ride on the Circum-Baikal Railway. Thank you for the excellent organization of the tour. We were pleased with everything: the transportation, the hotels (especially the value for money), and the impeccable work of the guides. A special thanks for the wonderful weather throughout the trip! We hope this is just the beginning of our travels with 'Big Country'!

There were four of us: two adults and two teenagers, aged 16 and 18. We all absolutely loved it. It was our first time in Siberia, and we completely fell in love with it. We’ll definitely be back!

A very interesting tour that left a lot of positive impressions. The cultural charm of Buryatia, the warm waters of Lake Baikal, and the delicious local cuisine were truly delightful.

Good afternoon! 🌞 Thank you so much for organizing the tour and assisting me with purchasing tickets 🎫. Overall, the tour was fantastic—despite the rainy weather. In Arshan, the rain actually added a pleasant atmosphere. I came away with so many positive impressions. I enjoyed everything—well, except for the weather :D but, of course, that’s beyond your control! 😊

So many unforgettable impressions. I was anticipating something mysterious and unknown... but reality exceeded all expectations. The stunning nature, along with the incredible diversity and harmony of the surrounding landscapes, is truly breathtaking.

Fantastic tour with excellent organization! Many thanks to the tour operator. The guides were outstanding—clearly knowledgeable about the topics covered during the excursions and great at sharing fascinating stories. A special thank you to Innokenty and his family for their warm hospitality! You don’t often experience such a welcoming atmosphere at hotels.

Unforgettable experience

From June 20 to June 29, 2024, we journeyed from Arshan to Lake Baikal, and the experience left us with unforgettable memories of the stunning nature of Buryatia and Lake Baikal. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as it featured a rich variety of natural and historical landmarks, including the Circum–Baikal railway, the Taltsy Museum, Olkhon Island, and more.

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.

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!

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! 👏👏👏👍

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!

Excellent organization, a rich and exciting tour, and attentive, charismatic guides who share their passion for the places they introduce, making you fall in love with them too. This vacation was truly top-notch!
