Private vs Group Tours

Home » Travel Tips » Trip Planner »

There are two distinct types of group tours usually offered by travel agencies: large group tours and small group tours. Large group tours include up to seventy travelers with only a handful of guides thrown into the mix. This makes for a very impersonal and generic travel experience and prevents you from truly experiencing Russia.

The disadvantages of large group tours are too many for us to comfortably offer them to our clients. For this reason, Travel All Russia offers only the finest small group tours. These  Russian tours have no more than twenty travelers, providing the money-saving benefits of large group tours while letting you enjoy every moment of your tour without being lost in the fray. Our knowledgeable guides give personal attention to everyone in the group and are trained to ensure that you receive the most authentic and exciting Russian experience.

For customers willing to spend a little extra, we offer private guided tours. A personal guide is assigned to your trip and leads you through Russia’s best wonders, from the bustling hubbub of Moscow to the ornate beauty of St. Petersburg. Explore Russia at your pace and in your style with the help of a friendly and passionate guide.

We want you to get the most out of your adventure in Russia. To help tailor each journey to your specific desires, we have split the tour possibilities into two sections: Private Tours and Small Group Tours. Not sure which will suit you best? Read on to discover the benefits of each and to choose which will make your journey to Russia extraordinary.

Just you, a guide, and your pace. Private tours are ideal for those who want to explore Russia with the comfort of a guide yet without the hassle of multiple schedules. Want to spend an extra few minutes lingering over the captivating artwork of the Hermitage? Need to hear the full story of the former residents of the Kremlin, not the tour-shortened version? Then private tours are for you!

Whereas private tours of the past were seen as luxury trips only for the wealthy, with Travel All Russia you will find a private tour for any budget. Our most popular private tour, the Treasures of Two Capitals, takes you through Moscow and St. Petersburg for only $327 per day. If you seek a longer, more inclusive private tour, try the Russian Luxury Cruise, an 11-day, 10-night voyage from Moscow to St. Petersburg on our esteemed liner, the Volga Dream, for as low as $3850.

No bond is tighter than a shared experience of epic proportions. Imagine embarking on a week-long excursion around Russia with a group of people who share your passion for relaxation, history, and Russian culture. See the wonder of the Tretyakov Art Gallery, the majesty of Peterhof Palace, and the expanse of the Hermitage not merely in a group of fellow guests, but in a group of friends.

They say you can’t put a price on friendship. With Travel All Russia, your pocketbook will hardly notice the amazing deals of our small group tours. See the best of Moscow and St. Petersburg on our most popular tour, the Treasures of Two Capitals, for only $1975 per person, or throw in a stop at Kiev with our 10-day voyage of the East’s most magnificent capitals for $2872 per person. Those who begin their journeys as strangers leave as lifelong friends, connected by memories and events that turn ordinary people into poets.

Travel All Russia is the leading tourist agency for all things Russia. No matter your selection, all of our programs balance free time with guided tours to allow you to experience Russia independently as well as alongside an English-speaking guide. In a group or individually, surrounded by friends or in the privacy of a one-on-one tour, your journey to Russia begins with us!
