I went with Andrey to Kamchatka back on 2013. At that time PrimalScapes didn't even exist. He invited me to join his expedition with his fellow Russian friends (We had... read more met in Barcelona and we were sharing similar adventure interests). The core of the expedition consisted of 21 days hike/climbs in the wilderness without going to any human settlement. This needs to be planned: Route, Food, B plans, everything was taken into consideration for the expedition. He proved really good organizational skills and knowledge of the region. And besides that, being myself the only non-Russian of the expedition he always "took care of me" with empathy for not feeling isolated due to language barrier. This was 7 years ago, and we have been in contact since then. The level of professionalism he showed by then was impressive, I cannot imagine how can be nowadays after years as a professional mountain guide experience. Do not hesitate using his services, great guide, nice chap, impressive places.

It was an amazing trip, well organized, planned and lead by Andrey. The trek was filled with beautiful scenery and combined with Andrey’s good general knowledge of the area, fauna/flora and points of interest along the route it made for a memorable trip. Logistics around additional sight seeing excursions and visits to local eateries, museums, churches etc. was also very good. Once again thank you for a memorable trip...I will definitely be back for another adventure despite the possibility of running into the model A380 mosquitoes that took a rather large liking in me.

Superb unique experience to Siberia in 2019. We were well looked after and adapted to our needs and fitness levels. I look forward to going again, perhaps Kamchatka next year ?
