We were in Irkutsk and wanted to make a one day tour on Olkhon. In the tourist info we were given the contact from Tanya. The organization was very uncomplicated, we told her what we wanted and she organized this in a short time. The driver was very friendly and funny, even if he did not speak English we got along very well with facial expressions and gestures. He showed us the most beautiful places and let us discover some of them by ourselves, he also cooked us a delicious traditional fish soup. We liked the tour very much and we were glad that something could be organized for us at such short notice and without complications.

Tunka Valley is called the land of Geser, Buryat (local people's hero), who fought against The Evil Khan, attacking the peaceful land. The guests like this area for untouched beauty of eternal snowy-peaked Siberian Alps mountains, green meadows, curing hot springs and tasty local cuisine. This is the place, where locals continue to live their cattle breeding lifestyle, some of them have yurts (gers), and if you stay for another day and go to the most remote areas at the border with Mongolia, you will see locals living the lives of their ancestors. Here a lot of local ethnic festivals are held, including ethnic dance, wrestling, horse riding and breaking the bones of animals contests.

Inclusions: Lunch, Private transportation, Guide's services

We had an amazing 3 hours tour of Irkutsk with Mihail, in English and Russian language, depending on our mood! Weather was cold, very cold, so Mihail proposed us a tour by car already some days before our arrival to Irkutsk, with some stops in the most significant places for 5 to 10 minutes walking. Mihail has been very friendly, but also professional and prepared. I would really recommend him and if there will be the chance to come during summer time, we will contact him for other different excursions!
