Liebes Ost-West Team,
unser Trip nach Moskau war ein voller Erfolg - nicht zuletzt durch Julia, die uns sehr nett und mit einem enzyklopädischen Wissen drei Tage lang Moskau gezeigt hat. Alle Programmpunkte waren perfekt organisiert und wir haben nicht nur viel gesehen und gehört, sondern hatten auch viel Spass dabei.
Wir kommen gern wieder.
Alles Gute und viele Gruesse an Julia und Stephanie!

Tours around Lake Baikalprint version
Baikal Tours for individual tourists and/or small groups are designed to attract a traveler interested in a more detailed and authentic experience when visiting Russia. The «staying with a family» option and introduction to such aspects of life of Russian villagers as «banya» should provide the prospective client with an opportunity of a close insight into the lives of the ordinary. All efforts were made to make the experience as comfortable as possible, although when considering booking a village «hotel» or ordering a meal in a village «restaurant» certain tolerance towards cultural differences is appreciated and expected. After all the above experience is meant to be different from any western lifestyle.
Please note — there is no direct flight to the final destinations. You will need to budget for some travelling time. The nearest airport is Irkutsk. You can fly in from either Moscow , St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Rostov upon Don, Ulan-Bator, or Peking.
