We felt the Moscow section of the tour was a bit rushed . We saw lots but did not have time for a reasonable lunch stop. The guide was helpful and told us many things. The St Petersburg section was much better. We still saw plenty but there was time to relax too. It really was a good introduction to Russia.

A very enjoyable holiday. Things ran very smoothly with the guiding hand of an excellent tour manager - Cecile - and two very good local tour guides. I would given a five star rating but for the last dinner in a Russian restaurant which did not run smoothly (pre ordered menu not delivered in our case) Service was not very friendly.

Everything was 5 star, from the company to the tour. The tour manager was excellent and very well organised. All the entrance fees, where applicable were taken care of and the two guides in Moscow and St Petersburg were fantastic. The hotels in both cities were very good and in very good locations. All in all, just brilliant.
