We very much enjoyed the ferry trip which was a round trip from Stockholm to St. Petersburg, with brief stops in Helsinki and Tallinn, on the Princess Anastasia. Our East West Tours agent Bobby was so helpful and promptly answered all our questions before the trip and as promptly made all the arrangements. The ferry was very nice, clean, the food very good, and the crew very professional and helpful. After a bit of snafu with the initial St. Petersburg hotel we were to stay in, we were taken to a beautiful and very comfortable hotel. Our guide Liliya Engels in St. Petersburg was outstanding – friendly and pleasant and so knowledgeable on topics beyond the art and architecture we had come to see, and willing to talk about anything we brought up. We took city bus tours (Hop on/Hop off) in both Helsinki and Tallinn, and saw some of the great buildings in both and had time to walk around a bit. In all, a memorable trip for us as older travelers. We have recommended this particular journey to friends.
