Advised the team of the Alexandrinsky Theatre (St. Petersburg) headed by director Mikhail Patlasov in the preparation of the play about Novosibirsk “Dust”. He conducted webinars and offline lectures for other guides of Novosibirsk.

He developed his routes based on his own research. They cover a variety of eras and completely unexpected sights. This is not a boring, overloaded with dates and names story about every building and street, but live stories from the past and present.

At your service - eight of my author's routes lasting from 1.5 to 3 hours: "Main Street", "Top-5 most beautiful merchant houses", "Akademgorodok", "Pervomaya - the town of railwaymen and the capital of crime", "Station - the gate to the city + Lenin St. - Novosibirsk Arbat", "In the places of the NKVD", "Left Bank - dreams of a social city" and Bogdashka - the most atmospheric street."

However, there is an option of a tour in the format of "friend for a day" - just wander around the city, taking into account your wishes, find something to tell about each district, about each quarter : Check-list with the main attractions of the city - every tourist as a gift!

Ready to conduct group and bus tours (transport - yours) on any route and any duration (the cost is negotiated separately).
