Good afternoon! The Viapol company hosted us in Belarus. We traveled with schoolchildren of grades 7 and 11. The program is very intense, but everything went just fine from meeting the guide at the train station. Maxim Ivanov, a professional in his field, worked with us for the first day. Extensive information about Minsk, of course, it is impossible to forget his story about Khatyn. In the following days, Olga Sergeevna traveled with us, an amazing, creative person. She treated our group with such attention and care. She's a master of her craft! He knows the history and culture of his country, and how he tells it! Just listen to me. It involves all participants in the tour, questions, riddles are what teenagers need. This is the first time I've been to Belarus, I'll definitely be back! Beauty, cleanliness, friendly attitude - everything is at the highest level. We stayed at the Belarus hotel, everything is clean, comfortable, the food is delicious, there is a choice, there is a shopping center nearby, if someone did not have enough. Olga Sergeevna conducted an extraordinary tour in Grodno. Many thanks to the bus drivers, who are professionals in their field! Very discreet, driving at the highest level! Thank you, VIAPOL, for organizing our holidays. We were from April 4 to April 7, 2025.

This is not the first time I have been to Belarus, and there is an opportunity to compare it. The work of Viapol is above all praise. Igor is an excellent driver, Olga is an excellent guide, who has direct encyclopedic knowledge and is able to convey it to tourists in an accessible way, to answer all our questions simply and clearly. We went on a two-day trip from Polotsk to Vitebsk on February 22-23, 2025. Thank you so much for the tour. I love Belarus, I have visited many cities, and I want to come back here again. I hope that next time I will go with your company, there is a wide variety of excursions that are conducted at a high level, starting from meeting at the train station and accommodation. Greetings from Saint Petersburg, good luck with your work.

I went on the Minsk Stories tour from September 16-19, 2024.
We met, settled in - everything is fine. The program is Mega intense. The buses are perfectly clean. The Belarus Hotel is a three-star hotel, but the rooms are nice and clean.
But still, people decide everything. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we traveled with Evgenia-a smart girl, a beauty, a professional with a capital letter. Incredibly attentive, caring and tactful - even on a trip around the world with her.
And literally the next day, on September 19, the last excursion to Sulu. After getting on the bus, I realized that I couldn't find my passport, I ran to the room - there was nothing. I decided that it was in the suitcase, I immediately looked at it in the bag - no. And I'm starting to remember that our passports were collected upon check-in. I approach our guide - in fact, a representative of the company and outline the situation - I ask you to call the hotel. Since I don't have the Internet myself, I don't have a phone number either.
To which I heard that she had something to do with it, so that I would call the Viapol tour operator myself. It's good that the tourists standing next to me found phone numbers for me and when I already started dialing Viapol, the guide dialed the Belarus hotel from her phone and gave me the phone. It turned out that yes, my passport is there and they forgot to give it to me at the eviction.
With such a guide, I definitely would not go around the world. Previously, when I went on vacation, they always said - find a representative and address all questions.
The attitude in this case, I was extremely upset. I have to leave tonight. I can't find my passport, there is no connection, there is no Internet, but I hear in response - they say solve your problems yourself.

We visited Belarus in January 2025. The tour was organized by the tour operator Viapol. Excellent organization, starting from the meeting from the train station and until the end of the tour. Everything is thought out, the staff is polite not only at the tour operator itself, but also in hotels and cafes where we had breakfast and lunch. The buffets are quite decent, everything is delicious. I would especially like to thank our guide Sergey Ivanov, who traveled with our group for 2 days. Such a competent, beautiful speech that you can listen for a long time without getting bored.
Belarus itself was very impressed. Everything is clean, beautiful, and full of attractions. Everything has been restored. The roads are good. Also, one of the important factors is that there are no migrants there! There are no barmaleys and women wrapped in rags, nor everything related to them: dirt, crime, etc.
People are quite cultured and polite. Maybe we were lucky, but we didn't even hear the mat. The only thing is, in the church in Nesvizh, some parishioners behaved rudely. I don't know who they're praying to, that they've come to this. But this is the only negative for the whole tour. To be honest, they didn't spoil the picture for us.
As a result, Belarus is probably the only country that has preserved its identity. I would like to come again. Thanks to Viapol for organizing the tour

I would like to express my gratitude to the entire team of the Viapol tour operator for their professionalism in organizing our vacation. We took the tour "Belarusian circumnavigation" for 5 days. The guides are excellent, they talk warmly about their homeland.
We were met from the train station, and immediately issued a tour program (with notes on contacts, time, transport, cafes, taxis, etc. and a tourist map of the part of the city near the hotel) Everything is structured, short and to the point. The greeter escorted him to the hotel reception desk, told him everything to orient himself, waited for check-in at the Belarus Hotel (Storozhovskaya 15) - everything is fine. The program is rich, the buses are clean and comfortable.
On the first day we had breakfast (a varied and delicious buffet) and visited the "Grand Duchy of Sula". There are many locations there - it's hard to describe everything, but I advise everyone who comes to Minsk to go there. A wonderful guide.
I would especially like to mention and thank Sergey V. Ivanov, he was our guide for 4 days. We believe that he is a knowledgeable, attentive professional who loves his country and what he does. We were with him on a sightseeing tour of Minsk (I also liked the Semashko hotel on Antonova 10 - the staff treats everyone with a soul, photo zones are organized, a view from the window and balcony, a clean, spacious, beautiful room, there is everything you need), in Grodno, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Kamenets, on a Sightseeing tour of Brest, in the Brest Fortress with the involvement of a guide to the Brest Fortress Museum, accompanied by a transfer to the Minsk railway station. We learned a lot from the history of Belarus.
I also really liked the thoughtful organization of food, everyday moments, care, patience and attentiveness. Good luck and prosperity to you!!! I am sure that we will come back to you again!

21 were in Dudutki and on an excursion around Minsk with the guide Andrey and the driver Vasily. Everything is also organized diligently, with attention.
The Belorussia Hotel is a very nice three-star hotel. Yes - there is no air conditioner, but there is a hair dryer, soft soap, slippers, a set of towels and cleanliness. Breakfast is absolutely normal, if you did not get to the time when the buses brought tourists to feed. Then there is a queue to enter the restaurant, but everything else is decent. In the evening, however, you can have dinner on the 22nd floor with a magnificent view of Minsk, with good cuisine and attentive service.

Special thanks to the guides, each of whom had an interesting presentation of information, nothing boring, superfluous, a storehouse of knowledge in the field of history, architecture, modernity, etc.: Alexander with a tour of Minsk, Evgenia - around the World and Nesvizh and castles, and Sergey, who conducted excursions to Grodno. I would like to mention the places for lunch where we stayed during our trips, everything is delicious, satisfying, high-quality and with a local flavor. Also the hotels included in the trip package: Victoria SPA in Minsk and Neman in Grodno were of a very good level: clean and spacious rooms with the necessary filling, delicious and varied breakfasts and a bonus in Victoria a full-fledged swimming pool with a spa area where it was nice to relax after an active day in hot weather.

We were very satisfied with the 6-day excursion tour "1000 summer Brest" from Viapol. I liked the high-quality and smooth work of the whole team.
Positive:
--------------
- we were met at the station, quickly settled in;
-good hotels on the route (Belarus in Minsk and Vesta in Brest);
-excellent food in hotels and set meals during excursions;
-an interesting, but very intense program (I'm tired, after such a vacation I need another vacation);
-the tour is suitable for curious and experienced tourists who are eager for new experiences;
- the complete absence of any additional fees, everything has literally already been paid. No trips to other villages along the way, for an additional fee.for a fee, no photos for you for N-rubles. It even happened to us that those who did not pay extra were dropped off the bus.an excursion to the paw of the guide. That's not the case with Viapol at all - everything is honest and extremely transparent!
As a quibble, I will note a few disadvantages:
---------------------------------------------
- the guides mumble their historical lectures somewhat monotonously by providing them with a large number of historical dates, names and facts that are poorly perceived by ear. According to my observations, 2% of people on the bus are interested in this, the rest are either asleep or procrastinating, abstracting from what is happening. It would be much more interesting if the guide did not take out the brains with a boring story, but told simply and in his own words about life in Belarus, about work, about ordinary people, about something vital and mundane - it would be both informative and interesting;
- the guides are a little annoying with stories about churches, churches and other religious buildings. It is probably designed for believers, I, an atheist, am annoyed. We are driving past some village, the guide broadcasts the name of the village, look at the 17th century church in the center and another 20 minutes lecture about this church, who is interested? As an atheist, I definitely don't. There is a feeling that there is nothing to tell except about the church.
- tourists go to the toilet, not when they want to, but when the tour guide allows it. This is not a disadvantage, but a feature of all bus tours. This is not suitable for all people;
The tour is very busy, do not expect to rest and sleep in it))) I had to wake up with an alarm clock at 7 a.m., they brought me to the department too late at 20-21 hours, there was actually no time to walk around Minsk. Although the tour is from Minsk, you spend very little time in Minsk. The outlook increases very noticeably - Belaz, the Neman Glass Factory, Grodno, the Brest Fortress, the Forest, Brest itself is a handsome man. I have very warm and pleasant memories, many thanks to the Viapol team!!!

This was our second trip with Viapol, so in addition to fresh impressions, there is something to compare.
Khatyn excursion (guided by Tamara).
The day started with lunch overlaps. That is, the guide forgot to order it for us, because we did not go to the review (as we agreed upon when booking).
The tour itself is normal, the only thing is that reconstruction is underway in Khatyn itself and on the Mound of Glory, which of course hinders.
Lida's tour (guided by Evgenia).
Due to the planning curve, the presence of two groups, and constant overlaps at the facilities, we lost a lot of time in vain. Then we wait for the guide at the castle, then we ride to Berezovka and back, then we drive past the brewery three times. Tasting for 60 people is certainly a tin.
There are no questions for Evgenia, she is a good guide. but you can't plan excursions like that.
Novogrudok tour (: Yarosh guide).
Unexpectedly, a very interesting and eventful tour with the strongest guide. The gallery was very impressed. Yarosh showed us the maximum possible without loss of time, for which we thank him very much.
BELAZ Tour (guide Andrey).
A wonderful tour with a good guide. Of the questions, only the crooked check-out time is 12:00. It is much more convenient to leave earlier and return earlier.
Excursion Brest + Pushcha. The guide is Sergey.
The disappointment of the trip: the fortress is on the run, we didn't really look at it, we didn't really see the city. In the forest, they drove for 1.5 hours through the forest, the museum of peasant life is a cheap new model. They ran through the aviaries and the museum.
It would be better to go to an excellent nature museum from the beginning, then to the aviaries, and then to the forest.
Sergey knows a lot, but it's hard for him to speak professionally and interestingly. The bus for two days is the most cramped, old and practically without ventilation.
Now for general questions:
- Previously, you did not carry such a herd (40-50 people each)
, the groups were smaller, which was comfortable
- is it really impossible to arrange excursions by time, and not collect 8 buses at the hotel with tourists running around? Send some at 7:50, others at 8:10, and others at 8:30.
-keep an eye on what you feed people: there are 7 days in a row of cabbage salad, and three days of cabbage soup without signs of meat is not very good.
- get rid of cooperation with the Belarus hotel: there is no air conditioning, Wi-Fi is practically not working, the crowd is at breakfast, and the food is terrible! Apart from the location, there are no advantages anymore.
I really liked the excursions with elements of industrial tourism. I am waiting for the expansion of the repertoire. MAZ and the tractor plant are also interesting.
It would be good to make a tour constructor with an independent choice from a set of excursions for each day.
I hope you'll take the comments into account next time.
Thank you for our vacation.

I was in Minsk in June 2024.The impression of the tour operator is ambiguous. All the excursions were organized well. I would like to note the good work of the guide Andrey Davydovsky. But the whole impression was spoiled by an excursion to Dudutki, the guide Olga Sergeevna Zalygina, who appeared 5 minutes before the departure of the bus. The tourists' requests not to linger during the tour were followed by discontent and mocking smiles on her part. All this led to a scandal and spoiled the mood of all tourists. And only the actions of the bus driver led to the possibility of not being late for the train station. Such guides are a disgrace to a good travel agency.

I was with my husband on a tour of Belarus in August. I ordered a tour through the Three Capitals website. The tour operator Viapol hosted us in Minsk. We were worried, of course. But in vain! The impressions are only good. Very good tour organization. We never waited anywhere, did not catch up. Everything is clear according to the tour program. Everything was explained and shown. No unpleasant surprises happened. And I had free time to walk around the city. I liked the hotel, the service and the food. We had a rest, a lot of impressions. There were many guides, but they were all well done, professionals! We got the impression that they were all on the same team. They help each other. In general, they hugged and kissed us and we wanted to experience these wonderful emotions of a vacation in Belarus once again. I would like to thank Solopova's manager, with whom our acquaintance with Belarus began. Promptly, on the case and without deception. Which is very nice. See you soon!

I would like to express my gratitude for organizing the tour "All roads lead to the World". I visited Belarus for the first time and was very pleased. I especially liked the two-day tour of Mir and Nesvizh castles. For two days on October 7-8, our guide Andrey accompanied us
with interesting stories about Belarus and mysterious stories about castles. Thanks a lot to him, I'm still impressed!!!

We are very glad that we have "discovered" this Belarusian tour operator. We liked the spring trip with Viapol (Minsk, Mir, Nesvizh, Grodno, Brest) so much that we bought the tour again in the fall. Now we have visited Polotsk and Vitebsk. The tour is perfectly planned, we saw the best that is in these cities! Our guide Antonina loves her work and tourists very much, for which I thank her very much! It was a pleasure to listen to her! The driver Sergey drove the bus perfectly, We were sure that our lives were in safe hands. It is impossible not to note the benevolence of Antonina and Sergei. They just made us fall in love with Vitebsk and Polotsk! The only disadvantage of the program is the Luchesa Hotel in Vitebsk. Those who lived on the upper floors. they were satisfied: they got rooms with fresh renovation and good furniture. But those living on the 4th and 5th floors were disappointed: the rooms and furniture in them are old, the carpet is dirty. Unfortunately, the hotel staff did not respond to the tourists' claims. We hope Viapol will take our remark into account. And - see you again next year!

September 15, 2024 trip to Grodno . I have already visited this route before and was very impressed. Therefore, I ordered a gift for my mother and her friend from Viapol. Vacationers were generally satisfied : good trip organization, delicious lunch, comfortable bus. From the nuances. I was specifically looking for a tour with a visit to the Augustovsky Canal. The main advantage and highlight of this place is the mechanism of filling and lowering the locks. What turned out to be in fact, after moving, for some reason, the first visit was to the August Canal and there was no locking, tourists were simply taken along the canal by boat. Naturally, no one understood the meaning of this event and even one tourist from the group had a conflict with the guide. Dear organizers, please take this point into account in the subsequent organization of tours. It makes no sense to include the August Canal without locks in the trip, just to go far away on a boat, the story is so-so. If there is no gateway in the program, you must indicate this or reduce the cost. The second point is that there is no clear visiting program on the site, everything is piled up in a pile and it is not clear what is going on, there is not even time except departure and arrival. Next, when ordering the tour, I specified which guide would be, the manager Diana said that Yarosh would be there. I was guided by excellent reviews and wanted to tour with him, so I chose the appropriate date. In fact, the guide was different and the manager did not even call back that there were changes. How is it? Please take into account all comments in the subsequent work. Otherwise, everything is fine, thanks to the whole Viapol team for the rich and interesting routes. We will contact you again.

We went on a tour of the castles on 09/26/2023 with Ekaterina.
I liked it very much, competent speech, easy to listen to, interesting tells, immersing you in this atmosphere of the Middle Ages, watched everything that was in the plans and even more, thank you very much!
Guys, do not spare money, go to Mir-Nesvizh! It's just 10/10!
Lunch is selected very accurately, not greasy, so that there are still forces to reach Nesvizh 😅👌🏼

It was the first time we went with Viapol. The Orient Express tour. The most positive impression. Friendly and customer-oriented managers, excellent tour guide Evgenia, driver Alexander. Lots of interesting places, wonderful places, great lunch. And special thanks for helping to return the forgotten powerbank and phrasebook. I will definitely go with Viapol again and I will recommend it to everyone!!!!

We went with them in June 2024, the Pinsk Treasures tour. We arrived in Minsk early in the morning by train. The meeting at the train station went well and quickly enough. Then they are taken to the Belarus hotel for breakfast. Then another bus comes for you along your route. There is little time for breakfast at the hotel. And 4 more buses of tourists plus residents of the hotel itself. In general, you will have to stand for 20 minutes at breakfast. Unfortunately, seats on the bus are not booked in advance, even if you buy a tour 2 months in advance. Therefore, either you have to run to take seats on the bus, or go to breakfast. If you go to breakfast, you will be sitting on the bus at the very end.
The company makes changes to the tour program at its discretion, as it wishes. No trips to Ruzhany, and by boat in Pinsk (apparently it was a marketing ploy).
With a guide and a driver, if you're lucky. We had Andrey Rodkin. Educated, erudite, attentive. I was lucky in that.
Belarus is certainly beautiful. Cleanliness, order, all in colors. It is always a pleasure to ride on it. But if you evaluate the trip itself from this travel agency, the cost of such a tour is certainly overstated.

14.07 we went on an excursion to Zelva , it turned out that the group was a team and a bus and a guide from the Viapol company.
Tour guide Tatyana Dolgach is just a shame for the company, the worst tour guide, I write as a person who has been on 30 excursions in the last 2 years in Belarus. Quotes from the great guide : "look out the window", "we'll pass by today, I'll just tell you something there, you have to say it", "you have 10 minutes and we're going on", "yes, to whom am I explaining at all", "we can leave without you, just think", "Dyatlovo is the best city, I'm just from there, well, look quickly at everything."
In principle, if you call any person from the street, it would be better. No one would make a face and walk around unhappy all day.

I express my great gratitude to your company for a perfectly organized and informative tour of the Millennials Brest for 3 days. Special thanks to the guides Elena Volokh and Yulia Bashkova, who in difficult meteorological conditions due to the season (October 20-22) showed all their professionalism and ripened us with the warmth of communication. Thanks to them and your company, I want to return to Belarus again. I was pleased with the food at the Belarus hotel (Minsk) and comfortable accommodation in the Hampton by Hilton (Brest).
