I had a great day. The guide showed me the most beautiful places to see. We saw the frozen bubbles typical of the region. We also did a little sport crossing ice accumulations to reach a part of the frozen lake on which the ice is absolutely transparent and of infinite beauty. We were even able to have tea on the ice and go ice skating. Finally the guide was extremely kind and told me tons of interesting anecdotes about the lake and the region. To sum up it was a perfect day with a perfect guide. I recommend this esthetic day 200%.

You could not imagine how beautiful it is before you get there!
Had such a wondeful day with my dear Marina. This tour is full of local experience things and intersting historical places. My guide Marina is truly knowledgeble and caring person. She well explained about Russian history and good place to go!
I didnโt even feel cold at all cause she brought me a cup of tea and took me to a warm place when I felt cold. Plus, she is such a good photographer! Lol
Do not hesitate to go to Irkutsk in this winter! ;) Made an awesome day, and made a sincere friend seriously. Thanks for letting me join your tour!

We stayed at Irkutsk for 2 days to visit the great Baikal Lake. Our guide Arina was very friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us around the city, told us all about the history and culture of the place, taught us some traditional folk dance steps and also taught us some greetings in Russian :). Together we tried some local drinks and the local taiga burger with cow berries. We also had a picnic at Lake baikal with some smoked omul fish and herbal tea... Just like the locals do it :)
All in all, a great experience and definitely recommended!!

We had a great time on our tour of Irkutsk with Tanya and Yana! They were immediately warm and friendly and made us feel at ease - probably the best guides weโve had throughout our 6 months travelling. The tour was informative and covered lots of key sights. The food and drinks were also delicious and weโll be heading back to try them again. Tanya and Yana also provided some useful tips about things to do in the city/ where to eat/ where to buy souvenirs etc and followed this up with an email after. Overall would highly recommend, we had a lot of fun!

Tanya, our tour guide, was perfect from start to finish.
Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. When Tanya found that we had already seen a number of sites in Irkutsk previously, she altered the tour to include interesting sites that werenโt in the original itinerary such as the amazing Buddhist temple etc; Very flexible.
She made every effort to park as close to the sites despite some of the sites being very busy that day.
My friend and I have travelled the globe and Iโd honestly rate Tanya as one of the top 5 guides weโve had anywhere.
This tour comes highly recommended.

Arina showed us around the city centre of Irkutsk, including traditional Siberian wooden homes, as well as 19th century buildings on Karl Marx Street.
Arina answered all our questions and also gave us some insight into what life is like in Siberia, from weather, to culture, to the housing market!
We were able to try dumplings, local "Baikal" soda, and different flavours of moonshine, before finishing our tour near the beautiful Angara river at sunset.
We would definitely recommend Arina and Urban Adventures Irkutsk!
