Testimonials

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...

Dear Alex, Wow! I never thought such a short trip to Russia could be that packed full of sightseeing and adventures! We loved every minute. Thanks for helping us hammer out all the details and also for smoothing over any concerns we had before leaving. You're very professional and I can tell you care a lot about your clients' happiness. Loved the Finnish crystal we picked up in Helsinki, and the shot of vodka was the perfect welcoming to Russia we were hoping for! Visiting St. Isaac's Cathedral and Catherine's Palace was remarkable. Places I've read about my whole life but never actually thought I'd get a chance to see them up close. Very cool.

Hi Bobby, We're back from our tour of Scandinavia and Russia. Wanted to reach out and say thanks again for making it such a successful trip. We loved getting to see all those different countries in only a week. The whole trip was highly organized and the guide we had was very professional. Other than the poor weather in Stockholm, it stayed sunny the majority of the time which we were both thankful for. There were so many things we loved in each city, but just being on those guided city tours was a lot of fun. I always enjoy learning about the history and culture of each new place I visit. It gives you a new perspective and you tend to appreciate your surroundings a bit more while you're there if you're actually familiar with it.

Hi Dora, It’s Wendy, writing to you from my home office. I wanted to send a quick note about the tour to Scandinavia and Russia back in July. There were many highlights along the way of course, but my personal favorite spot was probably Balestrand. Exploring the fjords and that town on our own was relaxing and perfect for us. The cruise to Helsinki was beautiful, but unfortunately, Rick was terribly ill and spent most of the night in the lavatory. I don’t know if it was food related or perhaps a bit of motion sickness, but I felt just so awful for him. I spoke to one of the workers onboard but there wasn’t much he could do to help, either.

Dear Dora, We are back from our Scandinavian tour and didn't have any problems, neither in Scandinavia or in Russia. We enjoyed this vacation quite a lot. What made it so very special was the private tours that you arranged for us. It gave us quite an insight into the everyday life of people in Russia and Scandinavia. Maria in St. Petersburg was a jewel and her knowledge of Russian art is amazing. Time just flew when we were with her. She is quite a lady. Olga in Moscow was also very nice and friendly. We were also quite impressed by Alexander, the guide in Oslo. He is a great with the patience of a saint. The only negative from our trip was the traffic jams, especially in St. Petersburg.
