Greetings from Finland!Thank you so very much for setting up the travel arrangements so well.Everything (except the weather!) has gone according to plan. The plane/train/bus connections have been smooth. The hotel locations have worked out very well. In Sweden I had a wonderful time visiting relatives.In Finland I have had a wonderful time visiting museums, churches and cathedrals. Today is the day to connect with the Road Scholar group for the the Sibelius Festival.

Dora, 

We enjoyed the trip! The guides, Tatiana in Moscow and Catherine in St Petersburg were knowledgeable and flexible. The driver, Alexander, was courteous and waiting when we were ready to go.
Thank you for arranging.  Tim

Dear Susie,

Our cruise was wonderful--I could wheel my cousin in the wheelchair all over and down the cargo ramp to shop at all stops of an hour or more--the Norwegian shop owners were so accommodating (one moved sweater shelves so we could enter through the store room--no steps--)--some just came and helped us over the highest thresh-holds and steps--several times we hired a handicap van and my cousin was wheeled right up into it from the back and the drivers stayed with us for where ever we wanted to go sight see or shop and then delivered us to the ship!!

Dear Dora,

We are back and didn't have any problems in Moscow so concern was unwarranted. We enjoy this vacation quite a lot. What made it so very special was the private tours that you arranged for us. It gave us quite an insight into the everyday life of people in Russia. Maria in St Petersburg was a jewel her knowledge of Russian art is amazing. Time just flew when we were with her. She is quite a lady. Olga in Moscow was also very nice and friendly.

Hi Susie,

We went on your St Petersburg Express Tour on September 19th and would just like to say how much we enjoyed it. Everything was perfect. Thank you.
The hotel restaurant was not good but perhaps that is just part of being in Russia and there were no other restaurants nearby, but the accommodation despite being budget was extremely good and though a long way from the city it was very easy to get into St Petersburg on a regular bus service that ran from just outside the door.
