AustraliaFrom the start I knew our tour was going to be great. Tanya was prompt, friendly, gave sound advice on what we should wear and was passionate about her job. Everything and more that was advised was included in the day and Tanya was very professional yet so passionate about sharing her knowledge with us. We truly had such a great day and would recommend Tanya to anyone who wants a great day around Irkutsk.

United StatesThough the weather was a bit tough, Lake Baikal and its museum were exceptional. On the way, The Taltsy Museum of Wooden Architecture and Ethnography was a unique surprise bringing tangible life to local Siberian history. At an outdoor concert, we participated in local folk dance--Tanya was very at home with this—what fun. With exceptional local knowledge and flexibility, she did a great job of making the very best of this short-notice, two-day window I had available. I highly recommend her services.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Allen, I’m happy that you liked this tour and appreciated my folk dancing skills. This dance was by chance, anyway, it was specially for you, and it was really fun. Thank you for being so kind to find time and send your review. And I’m happy that I was able to give you some idea of our life here, you are a grateful tourist, who is so much interested in our culture, life and sightseeing. Come back again to Baikal, maybe next time, when you have much more time to visit other places
