DMC in Russia. VIP tours with best service
About me. As a child my parents often took me for a walk around the streets of my hometown. On one of these strolls, we saw a tour guide lady telling a group of tourists about some old building. She was so elegant in her outfit and so charming in the way she talked that I couldn’t take my eyes off her. That's when my mother asked me if I wanted to get a similar job one day, showing people the uniqueness of my country or maybe even of the whole world. I said yes and since then have never changed my plan. I studied languages, cross-cultural communication, history, etiquette, the methodology of guiding, psychology – basically everything that would help me progress in the sphere of tourism. Eventually, all of that became part of my experience:
- 16 years in tourism as a tour guide and a tour coordinator in different Russian destinations;
- 5 years of entrepreneurship in tourism and hospitality;
- in 2024 I became a co-founder and executive director of Honored guests tour company.
Yet there is one thing I know for sure and will always be grateful for. I was able to succeed not only because I worked hard, but also because people trusted me in organization of their trips and then always returned for new emotions. I should say there's nothing more motivating than seeing your clients happy with what you did. So my main goal at work is to turn people's dreams about traveling into reality and create as many memorable moments for them as possible.
