About the tour: This is the first time I visited Altai. I love it! Altai is really a place of power
About the tour: The first words I heard from Alexander's guide were: “we come one at a time, we pay for the tour”. The group, which had already gathered and was looking forward to an interesting trip, looked at each other and was surprised, to put it mildly. Neither “hello, nice to see you” nor the banal “how are you”. Nothing has changed since then. Alexander is not friendly or talkative at all; he did not have help or advice in difficult parts of the trail, on the hills along the kurumnik river. On the contrary, he would often just leave the group and go much ahead or go back to camp alone. And some members of the group were just left alone on the trail, not sure where to go at the forks and didn't see their way through the rocks. Once, two band members just got lost on their way back to camp. I think that the route description does not correspond to reality. The route is more difficult and requires climbing experience, which has not been written about at all. As a result, some members of the band were forced to simply get off at the very beginning and return home, while others had to choose lighter radiators and walk on their own without a guide. I definitely do not recommend the guide Alexander. This is dangerous for life and mood. Read more
Travel expert's answer: Response to a negative review about Kosenko I's campaign Yes, I am unsmiling, taciturn and unfriendly. But my profession is not called a mass entertainer or animator, but a guide. I have been hiking in Yergaki for more than ten years, I know every stone there, I can safely guide tourists along any route, I can arrange their life, know how to make a fire and cook, teach you how to set up a tent, navigate taiga, I will be able to protect against attacks by wild animals and much more. I am the author of a guide to Yergaki, which is used by many travelers and guides Our trip to Yergaki is commercial, not sporting, so it recruits participants with different levels of training. And the program of this trip is aimed specifically at the average level of physical fitness of tourists Tourists who have no hiking experience, but are physically developed, easily complete the classic hike in Yergaki This hike does not have high passes and there are no climbing elements either For tourists with extensive experience in autonomous hiking, I offer a higher level of difficulty under called a trip to Yergaki “In the land of grandiose cliffs and giant waterfalls” There, the route goes through deserted places, along heavy trails over abysses, through passes A there is no such thing as an ordinary hike Before the trip, each participant is sent to review: a description of the trip, a list of equipment and links to numerous tourist reports about the trip with real photos and videos. It is also asked to fill out a questionnaire that, among other questions, includes the following questions: “Your experience in tourism, participation in hiking”, “health status and chronic diseases” If a person writes that he has hiking experience, this is welcome. If he writes that he has no experience but is in good physical shape, he also goes on a classic trip to Ergaki. Sometimes it happens that people overestimate their strength or are afraid of heights, so when hiking they do not go to the radial peaks or go off the route But this happens very rarely For example, if physical hiking difficulties are not added to physical hiking difficulties harsh weather, a sharp drop in temperature and prolonged rains, as was the case on this hike when out of eight days it rained for six days Because of these difficulties, a young couple decided to leave the route. The girl was very weak to continue walking along the route, but she found the strength to express her admiration for the beauty of Yergak Finally, I would like to say that the Ergaki mountain range is a great place for hiking Many beautiful sights, small crossings between parking lots The most touristic part of Ergak has a nature reserve whose staff are working hard to improve it. First of all, they marked all popular routes There are signs on each trail at short intervals, so it's impossible to get lost on the route I suggest that all tourists who could not see all the beauties of Yergak on this trip have a good workout and come to us again!

About the tour: Alexander is a professional in his field, I used the services for the first time and it paid off, and I plan further cooperation. The trip turned out to be very interesting for me: rocks, lakes, waterfalls, taiga, incredible views and exclusive places of the Ergaki Nature Reserve by Alexander are all that I wanted to “live” on this trip and it helped me “reboot”. The weather did not disappoint. Read more
Travel expert's answer: Thank you very much Anna for such a good review! Well done, you coped with all the obstacles on such a difficult trip!
About the tour: I was physically exhausted, which did not prevent me from returning home fully rested. The event was clearly worth it, already on the train I caught myself thinking that I wanted more. Special thanks to the instructor - he did not drive quickly, waited for the lagging behind, gave out a walkie-talkie so that we would not get lost and in general we were always fed and supervised with him. I strongly recommend it, in general))
PS high complexity is not for a word of mouth, count your strength sensibly
