About Excursa

Tours with local guides across Russia, the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Travel with people who live there

Excursa is a marketplace of tours led by local guides: historians, mountain guides, winemakers, photographers and simply people who love their city. They show the places from the inside, tell the stories behind them and adapt the day to you.

We started Excursa for English-speaking travelers who want to see this part of the world properly but do not know where to begin. We find good guides, check their tours and make booking simple and safe.
