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.
