I want to say a THANK YOU to your the stuff of ``Sportintour``! We found out on the Internet about the possibility to visit the city of Grodno visafree. This was our first visit to Belarus, which was a great success! The agency responded to our messages quickly and provided all necessary information and documents. We were surprised at the possibility of payment on arrival. I will recommend the agency to all my friends, thanks again!

Na targah w Warszawie odwiedzili stoisko Białorusi. Udało się porozmawiać z Panem Mikołajem, wlascicielem firmy Sportintour, miło słyszeć że białorusini mówią po polsku. W planach było odwiedzenie tego kraju jeszcze w 2015 roku, ale na wizowe formalności brakowało czasu. Wjazd bezwizowy to super opcja dla nas! Sylwester spotkamy na Białorusi dzięki tej firmie!!!:)))
