Meet the Creators of PavvellTours 

We are Pavel and Yulia. We have a big family: four sons… and hundreds of guests we welcome as our own.

Our story didn’t begin with tours — it began with love. 

First, for each other. Then, for the culture of Southeast Asia. I, Pavel, spent four years living in Thailand — studying at university, eating noodles on Bangkok’s streets, absorbing the language and the culture. Thai became my second native tongue. When I returned to Russia, I worked as an interpreter for Thai ministers, lectured at Moscow State University, and earned a PhD focused on Southeast Asia’s economic development. All that time, Yulia was by my side — a teacher, a mother, the visual soul of our company.

PavvellTours was born from a desire to show Russia not as a land of cold and clichés, but as a warm, sincere place where people are truly welcome. We create journeys like celebrations — filled with care, attention to detail, cultural respect, and real emotion. It’s as if we’re inviting you into our home. Because to us, family isn’t just about children (though we have four!), but about everyone who becomes part of our story.

We don’t just run tours. We direct experiences. Each one has room for a smile, a warm cup of tea, a thoughtful gesture, and that one unforgettable moment that stays with you forever. We know how important it is to feel safe, understood, and cared for — even far from home. And that’s exactly what you’ll find with us.

Welcome to Russia with PavvellTours — where you’re not treated like a client, but like a dear guest.
