I booked this tour through La Vacanza Travel in January for a very reasonable price. I received a message 48 hr before the activity to say the booking was cancelled… no explanation. This tour was part of a specific planned itinerary so I had a look on Tripadvisor and the same thing (time, day, provider) was available just significantly more expensive than my original booking. I decided to book and have a ‘discussion’ with Fat Tires before the tour started. I was advised by Fat Tires that they had nothing to do with the cancellation and that I should take it up with La Vacanza Travel/tripadvisor. The response I received from La Vacanza Travel is “Apologize on behalf of La Vacanza Travel for the inconvenience that this has caused you. I'm going to notate this matter on our end, don't worry. Rest assured that La Vacanza Travel do not have any authority to cancel a tour without prior notice of the tour supplier or our customer.” I can only conclude that Fat Tires cancelled a long standing booking to increase the price at late notice therefore I cannot recommend them and would suggest caution in booking any tour through them. Neither did they have the integrity to own their decision to do so but instead had me waste my time taking it up with La Vacanza Travel (which is owned by the same company as Tripadvisor).

The guide is very German despite being from another country. He shoots historical data like a machine gun. We learned a lot, specifically about the life during the Soviet era. Plus, it didn’t rain and the ride was easy.
