Natalia -

I wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful trip to Moscow-St. Petersburg! Thank you so much for all your assistance in planning the trip and making the travel arrangements. We saw so many beautiful sites that it's a good thing we took a lot of pictures or we could never describe them all to family and friends. Attached is a picture of my Dad, Aunt, and me in front of the Grand Cascade fountain at Peterhof.

Both Svetlana in Moscow and Pavel in St. Petersburg were fantastic guides. Their knowledge of their city and its history was vast, their English impeccable, and their personality endearing. We learned so much more about each city and its people through taking the guided trip approach than we ever would have if we had traveled on our own. Travel All Russia's personal guided tour plans are definitely the way to see Moscow and St. Petersburg!

I was very impressed with the promptness of the transfers and guides. Everything worked like clockwork each step through the itinerary. The Leningradsky train station was somewhat frightening as we got there well before our overnight train had arrived but a very friendly Muscovite overheard our concern and offered advice that it was normal for the trains to not be at the station until about 30 minutes before departure. From that point forward the overnight train between Moscow and St. Petersburg was a fascinating and exciting experience.

The Kremlin Suites Apartment was very nicely located and allowed us to venture out on our own onto Tverskaya Ulitsa when we chose. Check-in was a little nerve-wracking but our transfer driver was very helpful in calling and tracking down an apartment manager to let us in.

The Pushka Inn in St. Petersburg is absolutely fabulous and I am so happy we stayed there. The accommodations are wonderful and the staff is warm, friendly, and basically perfect. The location made exploring on our own also very easy.

I will definitely recommend to others planning a trip to Russia to work through Travel All Russia. My Dad and I are already thinking we may need to plan a second trip to see the sites we missed (you can't see everything in a week!).

Thank you again!
