Andrey is a great guide.  He was incredibly helpful with tips and advice re kit etc before we even met for our trip and on the tour he was clear in his communication, considerate of all group members and adaptable to changing snow conditions and group situations.  I'd happily recommend him to anyone looking to do some ski touring.  He's particularly knowledgeable about central Asia and Georgia.

Giving you the punchline first, this was a fantastic trip in an incredible country. I’m always very careful selecting ski touring group trips with a focus on safety and quality of guiding. I’m pleased to say that Andrey has a sensible risk tolerance and looks after his group extremely well, while also of course making sure that everyone is having a good time. It’s a hard balance to strike. I respect his ability to do so. This is my first time skiing in a country that isn’t an obvious ski destination. I love that ski touring can be used to explore new cultures and remote regions. My particular highlight was staying in Ushguli, a UNESCO Heritage site, which felt like a huge privilege to experience before inevitable change comes its way. The mountains there are Alpine with the most incredible view to the mountain “wall” on the Russian border. If you’re looking for the absolute best snow and the deepest powder this trip is probably not for you but for adventure and cultural experience it is an absolute winner.

Andre not only took good care of us in the mountains, he also shared his passion and knowledge of the culture and food and his recommendations were excellent. A great trip which was well organised. Thank you!

Skied with Andrey in Ridder. Long way to go from UK but epic snow made it very worthwhile. Excellent local knowledge for accommodation and eating. Get there soon before everyone makes the trip.
Thank you Andrey and the team from Primal Scapes.

Have just returned from an excellent trip in Kazakhstan, Andrey is a very competent and organised guide who I highly recommend. He was focused on delivering the best possible experience for his customers, and despite my mis-behaviour he was at all times professional and friendly. Thank you Andrey.

I spent a fantastic month ski touring with Andrey in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan in 2025. Andrey and his local guides led us to some great snow and always paid particular attention to group safety and avalanche risk assessment. Logistics for the trip were very well organised. We stayed in a mixture of guest houses, yurts and log cabins, eating local food which added to the overall adventure. I look forward to joining him on another trip.

It was a great trip. In German we would say: "It was a well-rounded affair". Thanks Andrew

We went with Andrew on a hikking trip in the Fan mountains in Tadschikistan. The scenery and the whole trip was amazing. Andrew was such a perfect guide, he spoiled us every day with amazing food, wonderful camping spots and it was so amazing that you can feel that not only the people who booked the trip were enjoying it also himself. he is living this adventure live at its fullest. we can only recommend you to go on an adventure with him!! thanks a lot for that time we will never forget
