TESTIMONIALS

We had an excellent tour to Kishi island from St. Petersburg. Our train tickets (luxury!) to and from Petrozavodsk were booked in advance. Luckily we'd had a bit of experience with the excellent russian trains before this so we had no problem. We were picked up at the train station at Petrozavodsk and taken for a short walking tour around the town before being dropped at the hydrofoil to Kizhi island and given very clear instructions on when and how to catch the hydrofoil back. At the Island, our guide was once again ready and she was a lovely lady who gave us an excellent tour of the old wooden church.

Dear Bobby, We are back from our Zarengold Trans-Siberian Railroad travel. It was perfectly organized and we liked very much. Once again, many thanks for your help. Best regards, Dr. Erwin W. Rugendorff Karin Rugendorff – Dr. Erwin W. Rugendorff -

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, Maria was a great guide. She was so knowledgeable about the history, buildings and art she showed us and guided us round some very long queues at the Hermitage etc! It was also very interesting to chat with someone who has experienced the big changes in Russia first hand and hear about her family. We enjoyed the ferry trips though not the long queues to check in to the ship, the cabin was comfortable and there was plenty of choice at the food buffet. The hotel was really excellent, fabulous room, good breakfast and the pool complex is very impressive. We also appreciated the very central location of the hotel. – Fiona Yates -

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.

Our ferry ride from Stockholm to Helsinki and St. Petersburg was good. Accomodations and food were good. Our hotel in St. Petersburg was nice and in good location and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Our guide Maria and driver Alex were wonderful and very informative. The disembarkation from ferry to customs in Russia was lengthy, complicated and disorganized. Overall we were very happy with our trip to Russia. We would recommend this tour to friends. – Richard Armand -
