I’d wondered in off the streets after reading just one legit looking TA review on something unrelated. They weren’t pushy, so I sat down. I’m glad it worked out! I could do basic russian, so they informed me about a russian speaking group tour to a mountain. It worked out to a reasonable RUB2400 (similar to what we paid to climb Batur in Bali). The lady was helpful in giving me the instructions in English beforehand so I could understand what their guide/instructor Rodion was saying during the trip. Everything was done professionally: timings were adhered to, and headcount were frequent. other tourists were happy to translate essential info too (like the names of beetles and plants). I’ll probably try their other tours if I come back.
