One of the best journeys
5 - Excellent
“One of the best journeys I have ever undertaken. Great small travelling group, great tour guide in Kara, excellent English speaking local guides so many places and sights visited and an amazing train journey, would highly recommend it.”
We travelled from Australia to visit the Hermitage and our tour guide ensured the trip was worth the effort

“My 18 year old daughter and I had a wonderful four hours with our guide Ksenia. Despite the crowds she made us feel like we were the only two people visiting the Hermitage. She briefed us on architecture, art history and Greek mythology. Without Ksenia's guidance, the sheer abundance of the Hermitage would have been overwhelming.”
A wonderful Russian Experience
5 - Excellent
“We enjoyed a wonderful, busy eight days in Russia. The history, and the culture is all so interesting, and the way they have emerged from the Communist era. Everywhere was extremely clean, and we found the people to be friendly. The churches and cathedrals, and the palaces are beyond spectacular. We had an extra day in St Petersburg which enabled us to go to Peterhof gardens and fountains, though not the palace, and to see Swan Lake at the Mariinsky theatre which was another highlight. Doing the trip as a private adventure we were able to eat proper Russian food in some first rate restaurants, never paying over the odds for our meals.”
