About me
Hi to all the crazy travellers who dared to explore mysterious Russia,
My name is Luba and I'm happy to answer your questions about Yekateringburg and Middle Urals, and to be your guide and interpreter in my favourite city of Yekaterinburg.
Yekaterinburg is a unique city - on the border of Europe and Asia it's neither European nor Asian.
I'll show you the diversity of the place, a combination of romantic and cruel 18th-19th centuries along with the dim Soviet past and present atmosphere of freedom and tolerance started in the times of Perestroika thanks to famous citizen of Yekaterinburg Boris Yeltsin.
I also offer tours around Middle Urals to Nevyansk and Nizhni Tagil. There you will learn the history of the first Russian Oligarchs the Demidovs who made money on gold mining industry.
I can help you to arrange eco-tours in the Urals and season tours: mountain skiing and snowboarding from Dec. to March and rafting in Summer.
All tours are in English, German and Spanish (colloquial) and, of course, in Russian for groups and individuals.
Plus: Apartment rental in any part of the city. It's cheaper and more comfortable than hotels!
