Panoramic tours, including other tours specified in the program, may not take place if local authorities do not permit visiting or entering on the scheduled day and time, due to closed roads caused by any event, or if weather conditions make the tour impossible. In such cases, Tayga Tour is not liable for the inability to conduct these tours. Some tours may be carried out via public transport or on foot, depending on available facilities, at points where road access or vehicle entry is restricted.
***Extra tours are organized by our local partner, Tayga Tour, with a minimum participation requirement of 20 people. If sufficient numbers are not met, excursions may not take place, or extra tour prices, content, and vehicles used may vary based on the number of participants. Additionally, the days and times of tours may be changed by the guide depending on the opening/closing status of museums and historical sites at the destinations and weather conditions.
***Extra tours are optional and depend on the participant's preference. Passengers who do not wish to participate in extra tours organized during the trip are deemed to have agreed to wait at a suitable rest facility along the route. These passengers will be dropped off at the roadside rest facility before the extra tour begins and picked up from that point after the main tour is completed.
