Victor H.

I went on a space launch tour to Baikonur in September 2025, and regretted that I was alone, without a family. It was the fulfillment of my childhood dream! After all, every Soviet child dreamed of visiting the place where the road to space began! The city of Baikonur itself left a very pleasant impression - small, clean, without people, with a calm, homely atmosphere. I was very impressed by the dancing fountain in the central square, right under the hotel windows. The cosmodrome itself left a double feeling: a feeling of belonging to something huge, and the fact that it is now not in quite the same form, due to the fact that most of it is not used. The organization was at a good level, but you need to understand that for lovers of five-star hotels and all-inclusive systems, this may not be suitable. Interesting excursions, the Gagarin launch, the Energia rocket, the Proton launch pad, thanks to the guide Ivan, a Baikonur native who is in love with his city and space, made this week unforgettable! Well, the most enchanting thing is, of course, the launch of a space rocket, a fantastic picture of the launch!
