Мы много путешествовали, и поняли, что самые красивые места находятся рядом. Находясь на другом конце планеты, в уникальном природном месте, мы всегда видели что-то, что напоминало о доме.
Много лет занимаясь международным туризмом, посещая известные легендарные места, мы всё ближе подходили к тому, что "и у нас так же"! И, спустя какое-то время, мы поняли, что наша миссия - показать людям красоты нашего дома - Прибайкалья. Ведь для многих оно кажется таким далёким, недоступным и неизведанным.
У нас есть короткие групповые программы, простые и сложные индивидуальные туры, мы можем организовать большое корпоративное мероприятие.
