We booked this tour thinking we would be on a boat with a number of others in a tour group. Turned out it was just the two of us and the guide. We went with her in a Taxi to a very out of the way place and got on a fairly run down boat. The guide was very sweet but had to wait to give us English commentary which in the end was provided over the extensive Russian commentary and loud music. There was really not much point. I don’t think this concept is a good idea from either the tour company’s or the customers’ point of view.
