Private guide in Minsk, Belarus

updated on 09/05/2017

Dear guests,

My name is Andrei Burdenkov, I was a certified private guide in Minsk for over 10 years (License 000961 of 20.05.2011). The past employment at Minsk travel agencies earned me experience in different aspects of tourism in Belarus. Still not sure if Belarus is the place to go? Take a look at the top ten attractions of Belarus:

The most frequently updated section is BELARUS TRAVEL TIPS, where frequently asked Belarus tour questions and answers come from TripAdvisor forums where I am a destination expert.

The most important subsection here is Immigration - it will enlighten you on the ways to obtain a tourist visa to Belarus and Belarus visa support rendered by my partners.

The ABOUT BELARUS articles are about history and culture of Belarus. Some articles are dedicated to the cities and sights that might be included in Belarus travel itineraries. I will be happy to assist you before and during your tour to Belarus!
