Tour details of the village of Taltsy

The Taltsy tour has one unique feature not always found in other tourist destinations on Lake Baikal. In Taltsy, you can always book a guide on site. Guided tours can be arranged individually or for groups. You can request this service by visiting the small building right at the entrance to the village.

A guided tour of an open-air museum takes much longer time than exploring the exhibits on your own. A certified specialist will explain the culture of the peoples living in Siberia, with elements of their everyday life displayed in extensive exhibits. You’ll learn about the life of the Tofalars, Buryats, Evenks, and other peoples.
You can ask questions about each exhibit and receive a comprehensive answer. Needless to say, such a tour expands a visitor’s horizons far more than wandering alone through a village.
During the tour, you’ll also have the opportunity to visit numerous souvenir shops and enjoy a snack in a real tavern!

Baikal Smart Travel recommends!

It’s literally a 15-minute drive from Taltsy to Listvyanka. Don’t forget this when planning your trip!
