FAQ
We've collected the questions travelers ask most often. Didn't find your answer? Write to us — a guide will reply in a couple of minutes.
Ask a questionOn the route you will have off-road vehicle drives around the cosmodrome and walks around the open areas of the cosmodrome, so clothing should be suitable for the weather, and shoes should be comfortable and broken in. Bring water, a light snack, a hat and sun protection, and keep your phone or camera charged to capture the launch. The guide will tell you before departure what exactly will be useful for your dates.
The main strain here is not walking but driving: around the cosmodrome you travel by off-road vehicle with stops at the museum, Gagarin's house and the launch pads. There is no separate trekking in the program, but the day of watching the launch may end late. If you want to check whether it suits your fitness for your date, message us on WhatsApp.
Since the tour is individual, we adjust the pace and breaks to your group, and there are no long walking stretches in the program. But these are three busy days with an off-road vehicle, a hotel and a night trip to the viewing area according to the launch schedule. If any of your group has health concerns, it is better to message us on WhatsApp in advance and discuss the details.
Departures follow the launch schedule, so the tour always lasts three days. The same schedule determines at what point on the second day — in the evening or at night — you will be taken to the viewing area. We will confirm the nearest suitable dates for your request on WhatsApp.
The first day starts with arrival in Baikonur: we check into the hotel, and in the evening you have free time to walk around the city. The guide will confirm the exact meeting time before the trip.
The $559 per person covers transport during the programme in Baikonur, a guide and the organisation of stops. Personal expenses, meals (unless otherwise stated) and entrance tickets to certain sites are paid separately. To book for a specific launch, just message us on WhatsApp — no prepayment, you pay on the day of the trip (Kaspi, card or cash), and cancellation is free.
