The trip was a success! I still can’t believe it was real. Like a beautiful, magical dream! Awe, delight, and a whirlwind of emotions! For me, this tour felt like stepping into a fairytale. It's impossible to capture all the beauty I saw in words or photos.
Veronica is a miracle! A little girl with such a strong character!er fascinating stories about the country – how does she even remember it all? Everything was so well organized, informative, and fun. I’m absolutely thrilled!
The journey was a SUCCESS! Not only did we conquer Lake Baikal, but the Great Lake also conquered us! Our group was the last one of this winter season on Baikal — group 13 — but we still managed to see much of what was planned in the tour.
A special mention goes to our guide Andrey. He’s a true professional, and thanks to his creative approach, we took part in an amazing and fascinating adventure — despite the sudden warm spell and the rapid formation of pressure ridges on the ice. We even had the chance to jump into an ice hole after a hot steam in a lakeside banya!
Many thanks also to the tour organizers. Everything went smoothly — from the pickup and transfers to the accommodation and meals. Everything was top-notch. I'd love to travel with Strannik again on one of their other routes. Thank you!
