Alex,

Thanks for checking in. Been a bit swamped since we got back but the trip was great. Both guides (Liya in STP and Rita in MOS) were very good, very personable, and were more than just a tour guide. The tours of the various museums was great (information overload). Peterhof does not turn on their fountains until May but it was still a good tour stop. We filled out the Academservice rating sheet and gave 5’s down the list.

Just wanted to let you know we arrived home safe and sound. Also wanted to say "thank you" for a great introduction to Russia! Everything was great; we had no issues and nothing negative to say about the trip! Rita in Moscow was wonderful, as was Aliya in St. Petersburg! If we ever return (and it would be nice to do so!!!) we would love to have them as our guides! All the drivers were courteous and professional! Thank you for planning and executing a wonderful trip to Russia!! – Guy Kehler 

Just returned from our trip yesterday. We had a wonderful time in both Scandinavia and Russia. Russia is very interesting - especially Moscow. In fact, if I had any suggestions to improve your itinerary I would suggest an extra day in Moscow as it is quite different to other cities in Europe whereas St. Petersburg, being a younger city, felt more like a European city. Our guides in both cities were excellent, and Rita, our guide in Moscow, was an absolute delight - she was very informative and a very welcoming person and I would have loved to have spent more time with her, even though Rita spent more time with us than was actually on the itinerary. - Michele -
