TESTIMONIALS

Hi! Just wanted to thank for a very impressive trip to Belorus. We arrived in Minsk from Vilnius  which is very convenient as it is only 180 miles away. Minsks is a very clean and nice city. Our guide Michail was very friendly and knowledgeable. He told us a lot of interesting facts and stories and colored our excursions with humor. We loved the Mir castle and other highlights as well as generous meals and open  conversations with Michail. All in all the trip was great and we were not disapointed in any aspect. Thank you for all the work you put arranging  this  trip for us. Regards, Arun Barsar

I would like to share my impressions of the amazing river cruise we had . It was from Moscow to St. Petersburg visiting Yaroslavl, Goritsy, Kinzhi and a lovely village of Mondrigor. We had exceptional service from East West Tours and their Russian partners from the time we contacted them, until the end of the cruise. We returned home last week and are still talking about the unforgettable time we had on our trip to Russia. All this trip was service-oriented, with the fantastic choice of hotels, fabulous activities on the boat, interesting day trips to cities and villages which gave us tons of first-hand knowledge of the Russian people and their life. During the entire trip, we felt very safe.

We are extremely happy to have booked this cruise. This was an amazing value for the price( fare included the cost of the Visa, all transfers and cruise itself). This also included daily excursions which were very good, and guides were excellent. Our English speaking group was rather small so we had lots of room on the daily tour buses and personal attention from our guide Irina. The rooms on the ship were a little too small, but the meals were fantastic. Who spends time in the cabin anyway..... In both Moscow and St Petersburg there were a few tours for our choice. The one we took was Moscow by Night.

We have chosen the cruise on the boat with the well-known name hinting to classical music and were not mistaken. During all the trip we were treated with concerts of not only classical but also folk music played by professionals and probably students who were amazingly good. Other entertainments on board were also fun and engaging, especially the classes of the Russian language. The day tours were well planned and guides were very nice and knowledgeable. The people we met were warm and we felt welcomed. Moscow and St. Petersburg were just breathtaking. Magnificent cities with fantastic architecture, Art Galleries, Metro, good restaurants and plenty of parks. All was very well planned.

  I'm writing to thank for the nicely arranged trip for us this summer. We had some doubts about this trip as we had never been to Russia before and were not sure what to expect. I have to say, that the journey was just fantastic. Everything was great – the sightseeing, the food, the boat, the guides. Especially the guides, who were very friendly, good English and treated us like the family. The boat was nice and there was plenty to do on the boat. We took a couple of Russian lessons – which I would highly recommend anyone traveling in Russia. Some knowledge of their alphabet is a great thing. The cities and points of interested we visited during this trip gave us a glimpse of real Russia. We enjoyed it very much.
