Sergey is the best tour guide in Belarus. He is very friendly, makes you feel comfortable and speaks English. He calls you the day before to confirm and arrives at your hotel on time. He helps me find a PCR testing center in Minsk before my return flight to the US. He even brought me mushrooms and berries at the hotel. If you're going to be in Belarus, call Sergey to pick you up from the airport as well as use him as a tour guide to show you around. He is great!
