About me and my experience
Greetings, friends! I am Irina Starovoitova, organizer of tours around Baikal and tour guide. In Baikal tourism since 2016.
3 things are important to me in my work:
1. The quality of your journey. I believe that a good rest and recuperation is the basis for all other activities of a person (his work, family, etc.) and understand the responsibility for your vacation.
2. Individual approach - the client receives not a standard averaged product, but a tour created specifically for him.
3. Saving your time. Time is an irreplaceable resource. My 9 years of experience in tourism is at your service.
My services and offers
- Individual tours in accordance with the request of the client (your dates, wishes for activities, locations, level of physical load, interests).
- Premium tours for a group of 14 people (nearest dates: 7-11 February 2025 and 13-17 March 2025)
- I accompany groups of 1 to 50 people as a tour guide. Interesting excursions without boring, contact with the audience, excursions-talks, linking history to modern realities.
My goal is your successful holiday without worries.
My audience is business people from 35 years old who have no time (or do not want) to plan a trip to Baikal on their own.
Video reviews about my work can be viewed on my YouTube channel “Irina and Bears” in the playlist “Reviews”. And also in the instagram baikalguide irk in the section Current - Reviews.
My conditions:
- Your ideal trip to Baikal is calculated individually upon request. To book a trip, a prepayment of 30% of the tour cost is required.
- Hotels: I help select hotels, give recommendations and contacts (as part of the tour). Booking and payment of hotels can be done independently to avoid paying extra commissions.
- Accompanyment by a tour guide - from 10 000 rubles / day (from 15 February to 15 March - from 15 000 rubles / day). The final cost depends on the program, group size, etc.
A gift.
It is very important for me to be useful to you. Regardless of whether we will work with you or not, let me share with you the checklist “What to take with you to Baikal (summer and winter)”.
If you have any questions, write to me in Telegram or Whatsapp. I'd be happy to answer!

"...И конечно спасибо Ирине Старовойтовой - без неё боюсь, впечатления могли оказаться совершенно не такими яркими и тёплыми. Желаю успехов в новых начинаниях, ты правильно сделала, что решилась всё таки на этот шаг. У тебя всё получится!..."
"...Здравствуй, Ирина, спасибо за чудесное путешествие. Надеюсь вернуться снова в следующем году летом, потому что зимой слишком холодно :)"
I visited Irkutsk with 2 friends in February and we were very glad to have Irina as our guide. But I will have to say this - Irina is not a normal tour guide. The reason why I say this is because she treats us as her personal friends rather than tourists who have engaged her services. Everyone loves to have a local friend who can bring you around and takes care of you when you visit their country, and Irina does just that. She would help us arrange for things outside the tour (eg dinner reservations and taxi bookings), and always checked on us when we were out on our own, even when it was late at night. We felt safe in her hands and there was never a dull moment with her guiding us around. Needless to say, her itinerary was well executed and we were very impressed with her punctuality, patience and dedication to her role as a guide. Last but not least, her warm and friendly personality shines through the cold Siberian winter!
Dear Irina Thank you for your warm hospitality in Irkutsk. We had a wonderful time and you really show us how fun and friendly Russians can be. We really appreciate your punctuality and attentiveness to make our stay comfortable. I was quite impressed by your detailed itinerary and answering all our endless questions on Russia's history and culture.Thank you for all the gifts too! Please contact us if you ever come to Singapore so we can host you! Huiling from Singapore.
