YOUR JOURNEY STARTS HERE

Let’s find your route.

Tell us what you would like to see. Ivan Grigorev will personally review your inquiry and contact you by email to discuss finding a local guide.

This is an inquiry, not a confirmed booking. Submitting it is free; no payment is requested. There is no commitment before the price, guide and terms are agreed separately. Response time and guide availability are not guaranteed.

How we process your inquiry data

The data controller is Ivan Yuryevich Grigorev, self-employed, Russian tax ID 390702969994, hello@human-fintech.com. We collect your name, email and preferences solely to process and answer your inquiry. Data is stored in a private database on the project server, accessible to the owner and technical administrator. Your contact details will be shared with a guide only after separate agreement with you. There are no marketing mailings. Requests older than 90 days are deleted at the next database processing. Email the controller to access, correct or delete your data or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent ends inquiry processing.

By water

River journeys and boat trips depend on the season and weather. Check the pier, return sailing and rescheduling terms.

Cruises

Compare the daily itinerary, cabin and included services. A cruise is a separate holiday, not a point-to-point ferry ticket.

Ferries, transfers & getting around

There is no single booking system here for all these services yet. Check ferries with the operator of the specific route; confirm transfer addresses, passenger numbers and luggage. Metro and local bus fares follow each city’s own rules.
