Выражаю слова огромной благодарности Валерию за удивительную, интересную и познавательную индивидуальную экскурсию в Свияжск и Иннополис. . Очень приятный в общении, доброжелательный и любящий свое дело гид. В нашей группе было 2 взрослых и ребенок 12 лет. Было интересно всем, так сказать, вся история была преподнесена в легком и доступном виде. Все проходило без спешки, в удобном для нас ритме. Валерий сделал нашу экскурсию максимально комфортной. Очень рекомендую всем побывать на его экскурсиях.

Мы дважды приезжали в прекрасный город Казань, разным составом, но каждая экскурсия с Валерием была наполнена интересными фактами, историческими событиями. Рассказ понятен и интересен любому возрасту.

Казань - замечательный, неповторимый город. В этом мы убедились после знакомства с ним в сопровождении опытного, интересного экскурсовода Валерия. Четкость, организованность, открытость, трудолюбие, профессионализм - это о нем. Рекомендую знакомство с Казанью именно с Валерием.

В ноябре с небольшой группой коллег мы были на пешеходной экскурсии по центру Казани с Валерием. У всех остались только самые восторженные впечатления о прогулке. С интересным рассказчиком не следишь ни за временем, которое пролетело очень быстро, ни за погодой, которая была очень неласковой. Хочу вернуться в Казань летом и обязательно опять обратиться к Валерию. Побольше бы таких увлечённых и влюблённых в своё дело людей!
