Guides

We are Nika and Borya, guides, historians, mountaineers and travelers with more than 20 years of experience in custom tourism. We live in Alaska year-round and explore it continuously. For ourselves, and for our guests. Our business is family-run. And this means that we always have additional support to make your vacation as comfortable as possible and leave unforgettable impressions. In our tours, most activities are conducted by Borya, while Nika handles support and logistics, including accommodation. So everything works as smoothly as possible. When necessary — we bring in additional helpers. We work directly, without intermediaries, so you don't overpay and always know who to contact with any question. For your convenience and comfort, we have our own glamping and Alaskan wood-fired sauna, as well as a high-performance Mercedes Sprinter — ideal for traveling in Alaska conditions. And fresh salmon and red caviar — always from our own catch. We've tested our routes personally and in all seasons. If the weather suddenly changes, we always have backup options, and we'll flexibly adjust the program to show you the maximum of Alaska!
