About the tour: A must-read before buying a tour!
I would like to write my opinion about the tour:
1. I will never use the services of a tour operator. Clarifying and asking the same questions several times for the tour operator's representatives to answer you is probably their thing! They take money from you, and everything else comes up later and everyone shrugs their hands.
2. Meals - eating on vacation is important for me, and when buying a tour, I asked what is included and how many times they will be fed. To which I was answered - breakfast and dinner are included - meals at hotels. Almost everything is like that - breakfast is really at the hotel. (Everything is served in portions on plates). But there was a hitch about dinner - in fact, they only feed you in a cafe -2 times in Olkhon (they took us for the 1st time. The second time they said I'm waiting for you at the same cafe as yesterday - get there and don't be late. It's dark outside, we don't know where or what is, and this is such a surprise. As a result, I'm writing to our guide Daria that we won't be able to get there ourselves, because we don't know what kind of cafe it is and where it is at night) which we were offered to call a taxi for - cheers! And that's where the meal ends. For the rest of the tour, you eat at your own expense! After the tour, I write to the representatives - how does it happen that I buy one thing and get the other - to which they answered me “there's a hitch, thanks to you we will change the nutrition information on the site”
3. The organizers and the guide are a separate song. If you're used to having a guide accompanying you everywhere — on this tour — forget it! Guide Daria on Olkhon and guide Tamara in Arshan are people you will never see! They send you information in the general chat room. Where's what and that's it (like an answering machine guide). Drivers will accompany you all the way - they will take you and tell you everywhere. Drivers are great people - interesting interlocutors who know everything about their corner of the world!
4. If you want to go to Lake Baikal and see the beauty of our country - I advise you to do so - you have indescribable emotions and views. But with another tour operator so as not to spoil your experience! Good luck!

Travel expert's answer: Good afternoon, Valentine! Thank you so much for giving feedback on your tour. You booked your tour through a service where there was actually an error on the site, and we thanked you for clarifying. But this mistake was good for you, because the service's website stated in the “what's included in the price” food item: breakfast and a picnic lunch on Cape Khoboy, and this season we have made an innovation that is also included in the dinner price on Olkhon Island due to the fact that during the off-season it is difficult to find cafes that work there, and there are such cafes in Irkutsk and Arshan no problem. We understand that it is important for guests to calculate their budget, including meals, but it turns out that the program you chose included less than what you got for the same tour price. Our dinners on Olkhon take place in the same cafe near the hotel where we stay for our guests so that we can easily get there on foot in a couple of minutes. Our organizer also sends a map and how to get there just in case guests don't get lost. Daria and Tamara are tour organizers, not guides. The tour organizers are really always in touch via chat with our guests. We are always ready to answer a question or solve a problem quickly. And already according to the tour program, our guide drivers on Olkhon Island and a guide in Arshan itself accompany us in person, tell facts, legends, rituals and locations. All our guides are locals who know our region better than anyone else, all the fun stuff is to make all our guests fall in love with the region. That's what you wrote about that our guides are really amazing people who know everything! Thanks again for your feedback. We hope we've been able to clear things up for you. And that the beauty of our region was able to amaze you, impress you and leave only pleasant impressions. After all, it's impossible not to fall in love with Siberia! Read more
About the tour: The best vacation and great guide Ekaterina! Tour score and organization 10 out of 10! A hotel near the lake, delicious breakfasts and friendly dogs living on site:) During the tour, we took into account all wishes and added additional excursions at our request. A very bright and colorful journey that will be remembered for a lifetime. I would especially like to mention the driver Sergey, with whom we went to Cape Khoboy, his delicious fish soup and interesting stories. I really want to come back again! Read more

About the tour: A 29-year dream and its spontaneous fulfillment.
Baikal was like a parallel universe) and now eating spontaneously, quickly and almost without thinking about eating in beautiful autumn.
The colors of Lake Baikal are an absolutely clear name for the tour; all the beauty of the taiga and forests, so brightly decorated in autumn, sometimes even seemed surrealism because the brain whispered stubbornly - this does not happen.
An amazing guide - Daria - a special bow to her for the program, the dedication and all the warmth that Dasha managed to give us all!
