TESTIMONIALS

Recently returned from a wonderful "Splendors of Russia" tour, from 9/6 – 9/16. Everything went very well. Natasha in Moscow and Maria in St. Petersburg were excellent guides; both were very knowledgeable and caring. The hotels were excellent and the sights were well chosen. I had a wonderful time. My only suggestions, which seemed to be shared by many others, are to increase the length of the trip to at least 14 days (4days more), with most of that time being free time to explore on our own. I felt very safe in both Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and would have loved to have more time to make my own discoveries. But I am very glad to have chosen East-West-Tours for my first venture to Russia. I hope to return within my visa time.

Hi Dora-

I just wanted you to know the Visa Free Cruise to St Petersburg, Estonia and Stockholm was amazing.  What made the St Pete portion so great was our guide, Olga, and driver, Vitaly.  First of all, my wife and I were the only ones on the tour.  Second, Olga was amazing.  Her energy, knowledge and understanding were outstanding.  She is everything a guide should be and an amazing photographer.  My wife and I have never had so many great pictures together.  Vitaly was an unsung hero.  Always getting us close to the destinations and there for the pick-up.  It was our first time with East West Tours but wanted to tell you what a great job you and the entire team did.  We are

Hello dear Bobby,

In a word, PERFECT! As you know, you worked and put together an extensive 4/5 country tour package for Vicki and I and what you managed to put together went remarkably well in every way possible. With very little exception, this trip now ranks as the best of our many trips, which considering the now 67 countries on all 7 continents around the globe we visited, is a big statement.

I only have a few feedback suggestions and a request:

1)      Be more specific with US based guest re the hotel standards, e.g., a standard room in the US is a superior room in Europe.

Hi Susie,

I'm back from my trip to Russia and wanted to tell you how wonderful it was.  I had looked for a trip that was well structured and detailed, and The Grand Tour of Russia was all that and more.  I felt comfortable and safe the whole trip.  From the moment I was met at the Moscow Airport until the moment I left, every detail was attended to.  Our hotels were wonderful and our guides, Alex in Moscow and Maria in St. Petersburg, were amazing.  Both were warm, gracious and incredibly knowledgeable with a deep love of their home cities. I fell in love with the history and the beauty of the country and felt I left with a deeper understanding of Russia and its people.

Thanks very much Maria for everything. It was a wonderful trip. I learned a lot of Russian history because you are very thorough and knowledgeable. Thanks for making us feel very special. Spacibo.
