I can't think of any better way to see Lake Baikal than by hiking and bicycling my way up the shore. I had a great time, and I'm already planning my next trip -- it'll be to Kamchatka, for sure!

We had an absolutely fabulous time, thank you so much! Just about everything was well organised, and the balance of activity and relaxation was perfect for us, there were so many incredible experiences packed into such a short space of time! Siberia is absolutely beautiful, and we loved our tour of Moscow, and we have been recommending the trip to everyone who asks! Everyone was so welcoming, the guides were all great, Lake Baikal was stunning,
