TL;DR

Autumn tours (Sept-Nov) get pricier closer to the season — booking about half a year ahead (in April for September) got 8 nights for 2 adults + 1 child for roughly $2,200-2,500 (218,000 RUB). Upgrading to a deluxe garden-view room from the cheapest option costs only about $45 (4,000 RUB) extra.

Booking early pays off: a September tour reserved back in April cost about 218,000 RUB ($2,200-2,500) for 8 nights for 2 adults and a 4-year-old child — a good rate secured before seasonal price hikes.
