Did you come up with the idea to make a non-standard trip to a remote corner of Russia? Contact me, I will be happy to help you, share my experience, tell you about the factors that should be taken into account when planning a trip.

My goal is to show our clients my country as a foreign one, so that they have a feeling of love for their Motherland, a deep respect for its nature, beauty, peoples and culture. That is why I take my clients myself to remote corners of the country, not like central Russia, where most of our travelers live.

I really like extreme rafting on the rapids of the rivers of Karelia, tours on snowmobiles and ATVs, trips to Lake Baikal, the Kola Peninsula and the regions of the North Caucasus. I checked all this myself.
I willingly subscribe to any adventure when time permits.

Evgeniya Bazilyan

Manager of domestic tourism

Breaking stereotypes – this is about me.
I came to tourism as a first-year student and fell in love with it. Small, fragile, but strong.
Something similar can be said about our Mother Russia. She is big but very beautiful. It combines the power of the mountains with its glaciers and waterfalls, and the endless expanses of forests and fields.
We know little about our capabilities, just as we know little about our nature and history. 
I have visited various parts of our Motherland: Karelia, Khibiny, the Caucasus, the Urals... with and without children, but I am still surprised by its diversity, beauty and originality.
So let's get to know her here and now with us, with me!
I will gladly answer all your questions!
Olga Terekhina

Manager of domestic tourism

My love for active tours began with kayaking along the rivers of the Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow regions. And then I decided to test my strength on the categorical rivers of Karelia, in a quad tour ...
Peace of mind from the contemplation of the river shrouded in morning mist, admiration for the colorful palette of the Caucasus Mountains, genuine interest in the centuries-old traditions and culture of the peoples of Russia, exultation when overcoming another threshold, surprise at the beauty of the landscape that opens up behind the next hill, a mad surge of adrenaline at driving an ATV - how many different, vivid emotions with a plus sign can give us active tourism in Russia.
I am a pioneer at heart. The tours that I recommend to you are exciting trips to those parts of Russia where I have already been or definitely want to visit. Choosing tours for you, I choose them for myself.
Most of all I am inspired by water trips. My passion is shared by my youngest son, who is engaged in the section of water tourism. In addition, I really like quad tours, as well as combined tours, which allow you to immediately experience the whole range of positive emotions from changing activities.
I will gladly answer all your questions!

I have been working in Adventure Guide since 2017, initially I was a tour sales manager. Now I am more engaged in filling the site, content, but I continue to communicate with tourists.
I speak English, a little German and Spanish.
My favorite region is Karelia. I love wild nature and get great pleasure from traveling with overnight stays in tents.
During the years of work in the company, I have visited Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, Baikal, Bashkiria, Karelia and the regions of Central Russia. If you have an interest in traveling there, I will be happy to share my knowledge and impressions :)
I will gladly open the veil of secrecy and suspense for those who are attracted by active horse riding tours or more measured long cruises.
But of the types of recreation, I like rafting on the rivers the most. I myself have been on many rivers in different seasons. If you are planning kayaking or want to get acquainted with stormy water in May Karelia or Altai, I will be happy to give practical advice based on personal experience.
I will gladly answer all your questions!
