Russia is one of the attractive countries for inbound tourism. Hundreds of thousands of foreigners visit our country every year, enjoying the bridges of St. Petersburg and walking the streets of Moscow. However, Russians themselves do not always have the opportunity to use the full cultural and tourism potential of their homeland. Russia is so big, vibrant and diverse that its residents sometimes simply do not have enough time to explore all the sights. Almost every region has an impressive reserve of historical and natural beauty, and the diverse national composition of the Russian population provides an ethnographic variety of excursion programs. You can go on a tour of the Golden Ring or appreciate the quiet islands of Karelia, you can see the fountains and palaces of St. Petersburg and admire the museums and exhibitions of Moscow. Or you can go to Altai, Baikal or Kamchatka to be away from civilization, alone with your thoughts and nature. Find exactly your Russia by going on a trip.

Summer active tourism

In the summer, many of us are accustomed to going to the sea. Meanwhile, our country is rich in beautiful natural places: clear lakes, wild rivers with steep rapids, mountains and rocks, caves and gorges. Therefore, you can always choose a tourist route around your native open spaces. Discover Altai, fragrant with mountain herbs, marvel at the transparency of Lake Baikal, or enjoy the hot springs of Kamchatka. You can also enjoy horseback riding, rafting, fishing and hunting. In addition, you can choose various accommodation options yourself - from a tent camp to comfortable hotel rooms, as well as choose a convenient meal option and tour duration.

Types of excursion tours

Today there are a huge number of companies on the tourism market that offer various excursion programs. In order to somehow understand this diversity, you need to understand the specifics and differences between some programs and others.

By duration: excursions can be one-day, lasting several days (for example, “weekend tours” and multi-day)

By venue excursions are divided into city, country, museum, etc.

By composition of participants: can be divided by age categories (for example, school, student)

Of course, this classification is very arbitrary and usually a standard excursion program includes several types at once.

Currently the most popular combined tours. This is a type of excursion tour that allows you to see several different cities in a short time. Such tours, as a rule, come in groups; the program may vary depending on the duration and intensity of the route. Each region has its own excursion ring covering the most interesting places. Such tours are very convenient when you want to see several cities at once, but acquaintance with them is usually quite superficial and only manages to cover the most famous sights, often leaving many objects unattended. Therefore, it is better to look at large cities separately, setting aside a week to get to know them only.

Our specialists will select the tour that suits you best.
