Hey!
I'm Pavel, a big travel fan like you.

If you travel a lot and want something new and unusual, welcome to my travels!
They are professionally planned, routes are not obvious and there are lack of haste. But the main thing is that these trips personally bring me pleasure. Sometimes that gives less profit but much fun :-)
I'm not chasing the number of attractions per unit of time. I prefer more interesting and soulful locations.

My routes are lack of haste. Of course, there is a schedule, but always we have enough time to drink coffee, take a walk, pause and enjoy the moment.

My experience:
Work in a large tour operator since 2006 (personal projects for up to 8,000 tourists at a time).
IYT skipper, winner of racing sailing competitions.
Certified diver
A real travel fan
Someday I'll be a pilot of a small plane

My favorite routes:
Yacht cruises, I'll be your captain.
Expeditions to Iceland, amazing virgin nature, without haste and with comfort.
Expeditions to Burma, teleport to a thousand years ago!

No tourist fast food.

IYT skipper. She can easily operate any yacht in any conditions. He is always in the group and finds a lot of new friends. Order, extreme punctuality, delicious food and a great friendly atmosphere in the group are his strong point! hide
В моих маршрутах никогда нет спешки. Разумеется, есть расписание, но нам всегда хватит времени попить кофе, погулять, сделать паузу и насладиться моментом!

Я не гонюсь за количеством достопримечательностей на единицу времени. Очень часто некоторые популярные точки в моих маршрутах просто отсутствуют в пользу более интересных и душевных локаций.
Если вы много путешествуете, много повидали и хочется чего-то нового и необычного, добро пожаловать в мои путешествия! Они отличаются профессиональной подготовкой, небанальными маршрутами и отсутствием спешки.

About the tour: I would like to express my deep gratitude to the team and, of course, to Captain Ivan for a wonderful vacation in Seychelles.
Seychelles is incredibly beautiful, you fall in love literally from day one.
Everything about this trip was great: a very cool, comfortable, modern catamaran and fantastic beaches, a turquoise ocean, magical sunsets and the cutest Seychelles turtles. And what can we say about the black cliffs of La Digue Island!!! This is a delight!
I recommend it heartily.

Travel expert's answer: Natalya, thank you very much for taking the time to write a review, it's very valuable! We will be happy to see you again on other routes!
About the tour: Читал в других отзывах о том, что тур-лидеры готовят завтраки-ужины сами. Это правдв) Наш капитан Александр не просто готовил, а делал это прекрасно, разнообразно, оригинально.

Но, конечно, не это главное. Программа тура насыщенная, мест для посещения запланировано много. Некоторые из них совершенно исключительны и производят огромное впечатление. Форма путешествия небольшой группой, с которой мы не только смотрим достопримечательности, но и проживаем в общем доме, сидим за одним столом, общаемся постоянно - это был для меня первый подобный опыт. И я рад получить его) Все мы люди разные, со своими характерами и привычками. И моя самая большая благодарность Александру - не за вкусную еду, а за проявленное большое терпение, понимание, за то что он обеспечил позитивную атмосферу в туре. Это настоящий капитан, который провёл нас через шторма))

И ещё один момент, который хочу упомянуть отдельно и отдельно поблагодарить. Не секрет, что Исландия не отличается мягкостью климата. Нередко даже совсем не отличается)) Александр уверенно и безопасно вёл нашу машину в условиях порой просто пугающих. В результате капризы погоды из угроз превращались просто в ещё одну часть ярких воспоминаний о туре.

Короче говоря - большое спасибо за всё!

Travel expert's answer: Спасибо вам за такой тёплый и живой отзыв! Очень ценно, что вы отметили не только маршрут, но и атмосферу внутри группы - для нас это действительно главное. Передадим Александру ваши слова, ему будет особенно приятно. Рады, что даже исландская погода стала частью красивых воспоминаний - именно ради таких моментов мы и делаем эти путешествия. Будем ждать вас снова 🌊 Read more
About the tour: I would like to share my impressions of the tour: maybe this will help someone in choosing a ski tour, and I hope the organizers will find feedback useful.
First of all, this is not a ski tour for people who want to ski, but more of a relaxed apres-ski tour in Courchevel: there is no escort on the mountain; because of staying in a chalet in the lower valley, you arrive on the mountain by 11 o'clock, when the trails are already rolled out (drive one way to Meribel/Courchevel ~1 hour).
Secondly, I would like the organization to be at a higher level: timing almost always suffered (one part of the group was waiting for the second, and the organizers didn't try hard to hurry or do something, because of this, there was an unequal attitude towards different members of the group), it would be possible to organize a time building/introduction to the group, for example, writing a meeting time for lunch on the mountain if anyone wanted to join, etc.
And thirdly, some information/changes in the program were recognized simply after the fact: for example, the tour description stated that the tour was planned to Geneva, in fact it was in Annecy (the complaint was not about choosing a city, but simply about the very fact of changing the program without any warning, because people could plan their trip to Geneva and not leave the days before/after the tour); it was also stated that dinner would be in “cozy restaurants” in fact, breakfast/dinner only in the chalet; the ship's cash register amount was not even announced initially, I found out about it by chance, which is also strange, because I could plan my funds during the trip and not leave the required amount at the end.

In any case, the Three Valleys are beautiful and I had a positive experience from the trip because of the place itself!

Travel expert's answer: Thank you for such a detailed and honest review — this is really valuable feedback. You have noticed the format of the tour very accurately: it is designed as a relaxed journey with an emphasis on atmosphere, communication and apres-skiing, rather than on guided sports skiing on the slopes. We understand that this expectation did not coincide with yours, and it is important for us to communicate this point in advance. We are especially grateful for your comments on the organization. Timing, communication within the group and transparency about the program and expenses are what we are already strengthening to prevent such situations from happening again. You're right: route changes and details like the ticket office should be announced in advance and clearly. At the same time, we are very pleased that the Three Valleys themselves have left a strong impression on you - the place is really special. Thank you again — this kind of feedback helps us to become better. We will be happy to see you on our other trips, perhaps in a format that is more specific to your expectations. Read more
About the tour: My dream trip to Courchevel ended the other day. 200% vacation thanks to our positive guides Pavel and Sergey.

First of all, the chalet we lived in was 5* level (the only thing missing was white sheets) The house has a wood-burning fireplace and a Finnish sauna. You can also get to the house by bus for free, if you want to take a walk on your own (alternative to a taxi for 70 euros 10 minutes) The lifts are 7-10 minutes away by car. Michelin-level breakfasts and dinners (seriously) The guides surprised with incredible fresh dishes every day, even homemade salted fish! The evenings are themed with a selection of music. Top music. The organization is great. You will also be filmed with a pro camera at your request while riding. One day we visited the gorgeous city of Annecy. The only thing was that I didn't have much time to take a walk, because there was a spa that evening. The only thing missing was an evening program outside the chalet, at least one evening (evening skiing, a club or a restaurant without ski clothes), as we spent all the evenings in the chalet. But in any case, it was atmospheric, fun and cozy in front of the fireplace with a glass of proseco!

There was only one drawback, but these are circumstances that are sometimes not related to the human factor.

Courchevel is a place of power! I highly recommend this tour, even if you don't know how to ride, instructors will teach you, the main thing is the atmosphere.
Well, if you want to visit certain places, arrange with the guide in advance, as some are booked several months in advance. And I'm already planning this tour again for 2027:)
