Hello Dora, I just want to let you know our tour of St.Petersburg went very smooth and all went well. The hotel was excellent as well as the food and service. Our Guide Victoria was very professional and certainly knew the city. She gave us a wealth of information and knowledge about the palaces, museums , cathedrals and all the paintings and artifacts and tried to please us all . I was expecting lots of tourists and a very busy 3 days and Victoria did a great job moving us through the crowds and our busy schedule and it is much appreciated. I look forward to returning someday. Thanks for a successful trip. Best regards. Don – Don P -

Loved it! Anna was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable. The schedule was well planned an all the connections worked smoothly. We could have started earlier in the morning 8 or 9 am to fit a couple more sights into the short time that was available. – Kristen Gregoriev -

This tour went to some amazing places. Dora was very reassuring that it would be ok in spite of rising tensions between nations and Russia. St. Petersburg was one of the most amazing cities we have ever been to and it was made even more enjoyable with the fabulous guide we had, Masha. She was so knowledgable about everything we saw but more than that, she went above the call of duty in helping us get to the World Cup. We can't recommend her highly enough. We felt very safe in St. Petersburg – not at all what we were expecting. The ferry staterooms were very, very basic, but food on the ferry was varied and plentiful, also including wine and beer. All in total, fantastic trip!!! Thank you Dora! – Linda Cantner -

Hi Alex, We just got home last night late but it was great in every way. We enjoyed the Russian tour guides very much and got a lovely glimpse of this "far-away, unknown land" called Russia. Everything I had ever thought has been replaced with warm thoughts of a culture similar to the American, except more refined in some notable ways. There were no tatoos, piercings, or pants falling down, quite refreshing actually. I am anxious to tell others about the smartly dressed women in fur coats and the beautifully restored churches...

Bobby I wanted to provide some feed back on our trip. 1. Princess Maria was ok. The linens in the room on the way to St.Petersburg smelled stale and unwashed. They were better on the way back. And the procedures to disembark at St.Petersburg were chaotic. 2. The guide and driver were excellent. Inna was the guide's name. She kept us on schedule and answered all questions. 3. Petro Palace hotel was very good. Great location and room. The Italian restaurant in the premises was very good. It was a relief from the ferry food. Kumar Doraiswami – Kumar Doraiswami -

Anna – Michael and I wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had on our trip to St. Petersburg due to all your arrangements! The hotel was excellent, but most of all, our guide, Maria Ganina, was outstanding! She was thoroughly professional and knowledgeable about all the sites in the city and on excursions. It frankly was incredible how her skills and kindness made our trip one we will never forget. You are so lucky to have her working for your company – and this is coming from two people that have high expectations! Thank you again and please extend our thanks to Maria.
