Hi, I'm Elena (data is hidden) - tour guide and organizer of author's tours.
I have been organizing tours to Altai and Baikal since 2016, I have more than 50 of them in my piggy bank!
I know how to make the trip unforgettable, to create the very atmosphere of warmth and comfort, so that the whole group did not want to leave on the last day of the tour.

I approach creation of each trip like a culinary expert conjuring up his best masterpiece: I find the perfect balance of the most striking sights and unusual leisure time, add the right spices: a meeting of sunrise, meditation under the stars, the national cuisine... I embellish with a highlight, such as a colorful photo shoot on a cliff in a long dress! Done!
It remains to call the soulful company and together enjoy the unique taste of a buzzing trip!

Why are my tours are called signature tours?
Any trip is a set of impressions. Impressions can be from the surrounding nature, fascinating views, interesting stories of the guide.
In my tours you add new impressions to this set: from soulful company, rallying games, creative master-classes, unusual spa bath, musical meditation by the fire and much more.

Join us, we're having a good time))

About the tour: It's magical. When I went to Lake Baikal, of course, I looked at photos and admired beauty, but deep down I thought that it contained filters, Photoshop, and good angles.. But no, it really is. Vast expanses covered with ice with cracks and bubbles. You lie down on the ice and look inside, and there's a whole world out there, sometimes marble, sometimes like a tree with branches. Different colors and shades that you can't even catch in a photo. Skating and biking on Lake Baikal is a separate kind of pleasure and experience; learn to skate in advance so as not to miss it. We traveled with Marina, she is separate 😘. Very easy, positive and unobtrusive, although active. We had everything we didn't have: walks and rides of various shapes on ice, and walks on land, and baths, and workshops, and fires on ice, and dancing and competitions. All my friends who saw the photo reports now also dream of Lake Baikal. I, however, intend to come back myself, both in winter and in summer 🥰 Read more
Travel expert's answer: Maria, thank you for such a warm review and appreciation of Marina's guide's work) I'm very glad that after the trip I wanted to return to Lake Baikal again. It's great!
About the tour: I travel a lot, but the emotions I got from my trip to Lake Baikal are hard to describe in words. Everything came together here, nature and weather and the organization of the tour itself. Many thanks to Elena Kukeeva and Marina for putting their heart and soul into our trip to Lake Baikal in winter! I know how hard it can be to work with people from different places and ages, but Marina managed to quickly bring the group together. When I'm choosing my next vacation trip, I'll definitely watch Elena's author tour. Read more
Travel expert's answer: Irina, thank you very much for your warm feedback! We try to put our heart and soul into every tour. Come again))
About the tour: So my incredibly magical journey “The Treasures of Lake Baikal in Winter” has ended. It's all included!” and it's time for a recall. It is impossible not to write it, emotions are overwhelming. I was traveling on an organized tour for the first time and was very worried. I'll start from scratch) Lena, the tour organizer, responded to my request on the same day and gave the most detailed answers to all my endless questions. This is what made it possible to quickly decide that I was going with this organizer and we signed an agreement. Before the trip, Lena also responded to my concerns and questions.
I would like to express special thanks to the guide Marina ❤️ Incredible, sweet, helpful 🤩 Her endless energy, optimism and love for Lake Baikal were transmitted to me at the vibrational level. She skillfully approached everyone, cared about our comfort and warmth, and was always ready to feed and give tea to the whole group 🤗 Marina always kept us up to date with upcoming events, skillfully concealing surprises and amenities that delighted us with the unexpected 💫
Also, I would like to note the conditions of the “All Inclusive!” tour - it's all included++++! The content of the program is incredible, everything is thought out to the smallest detail, there is no time or opportunity to get bored, you can just enjoy it and not think about anything. Reload secured 💯
I really want to add photos to my review, but it's impossible to choose a great many of them and they are all beautiful. Plus, they'll never pass on what you'll see and feel in this gorgeous place 🌊💫❤️
I wish everyone such magic 😇

About the tour: Our first acquaintance with the amazing Baikal was great. My 16-year-old son and I love the lake, a well-organized tour. We explored Lake Baikal on foot, skating and cycling. We had a great steam bath in an ice-hole bath on Lake Baikal, took a dog sled ride, ate wonderful fish soup and fish right on the ice. Our guide Marina has always been with us, cleverly rallying a group of 15 strangers. The atmosphere was light, fun and festive. Thanks to Marina and all the boys and girls for a wonderful time on the beautiful Lake Baikal! Read more
