Highlights of Vladivostok

Returned last night from Russia. It was an extraordinary adventure- both land and water! Thank you so much for all your help in putting it all together for Ingrid, Susan and myself. The flight arrangements you found were perfect. The cruise was very enjoyable, entertaining and relaxing. The excursions were ideal and the guides very informative, friendly and helpful. The Rossi Hotel upgrade turned out to be a highlight- they arranged our taxis to and from the theaters and their fusion Euro-Asian restaurant is superb. The ladies even took happy advantage of the Spa.

The Wenz brothers wish to thank the staff at Travel All Russia for organizing their Trans Siberian adventure which was beyond expectation! It truely was a joyous and memorable experience.

Absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Russia is a beautiful country with so much history and culture. The local people were wonderful and so very helpful. I wish there wasn’t so much bad political press from our media in the US. Hopefully, more people will visit Russia and see the beauty of the country and its people. Thanks for your amazing services.

We were fortunate in that there were 12 of us on the tour group and for whatever reason, we had our own railway carriage. The food was excellent.

It was a great trip and I enjoyed it immensely. The only issue was with a hotel in Yekaterinburg.

Let me thank you very much for professionally organizing such a memorable tour: I really enjoyed every bit of it, and the excellent guides you arranged were all knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very helpful.

The logistics for this journey were complex, but everything worked according to plan, so again congratulations to your logistics people and drivers.

Overall, I would certainly recommend Travel All Russia Tours to anyone considering a trip to this most interesting part of the world.

Kind regards and many thanks!

We have returned to Sydney and for four days, still trying to get over the jet lag. I think as we are getting older, it is getting harder!

It was simply fantastic!
Your planning and execution was without equal and flawless.
It was a little cold however... (-28F during the dog sled ride on the lake...)

We were totally thrilled with our trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway!

The trains were clean, comfortable and always on time.

The hotels, though varied, were always welcoming and attractive.
The restaurants, for the most part, served us well.

Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Once a guide could not join us because of a medical problem, and the next day another guide took us to two days' sites in one day.

Many thanks for arranging a most memorable Epic Trans-Siberian Adventure journey for us!

I've been back from my Trans-Siberian train trip for over a week now. I'm still telling everyone what a wonderful trip it was. In fact, I think it ranks near the top of all my trips including Tibet and Xinjiang.

The guides were wonderful - everywhere. Please pass on the word to your bosses that all five were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. Several helped me with problems - my lost immigration card in Vladivostok, phone problems in Yekaterinburg, uploading camera photos to a flash drive in Kiev.

I'm now back for a couple of weeks and had some time to reflect on the (amazing) Epic Trans-Siberian Discovery experience, let me provide you with some feedback:

The trip was well organized and executed.
All transfers were excellent. Representatives of the travel agencies were on time and in general very helpful.
Hotels were in general good to very good although not always of 4 star quality (for example: Ibis hotel in Kazan).
Guides were excellent to good. (excellent in Vladivostok, city tours in Ulan Ude and Yekaterineburg)

Celia and I have been home for a month now from our Trans Siberian trip from Moscow to Vladivostok .
We began our trip in St Petersburg where our guide showed us that great city and Pushkin (the Summer Palace). The guide was a wonder; he could guide us around the crowds to see the highlights.
The trip from Moscow to Vladivostok was as Cecelia says below.

Our cruise exceeded our expectations, the cabins although compact were very comfortable, particularly after travelling in 4 berth compartments on the train, the crew were very friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the ship was spacious and well presented.
It was great value and a wonderful itinerary. We wish you all the very best and thank you again for all your work and attention.

We (13 of us) have just completed the great train journey (Deluxe Trans-Siberian Tour) from Vladivostok to Moscow and then on to St Petersburg.

This was the 'regular' train and we were in the two berth compartments. We broke up the journey with stops and activities along the way and we highly recommend you do this. The train journey would be rather tedious if you did it for 6 days straight!
