about Tour Great Sayan RingI'm happy to say a few words about the Sayan Ring tour
I'm happy to say a few words about the Sayan Ring tour, because I have strong and vivid memories of a superbly organised tour, of ever-helpful guides like Andrei and Irina and of how much I learnt about the regions of Krasnoyarsk, Tuva and Khakhasia; all the history, geography, archeology, and culture - the music and arts. And of course the people we met - in their homes and at or after performances. I can close my eyes and conjure up again too the vast spaces and scale of the Siberian landscape. I'm usually an individual traveller and the Sayan tour was the first tour I've taken in my life. I don't think it could have been better. So thanks and good luck to you all for the future
