PLANNING YOUR TOURS
Before your visit, we will discuss your preferences and help you to fine-tune your personal itinerary. We can combine several mini tours for your visit, if you wish, organising city tours together with visits to the ballet, expert-led museum tours, insights into Russian life tours and much more. We are also happy to provide visa support, arrange transfers and train tickets, recommend our current favourite restaurants and hotels in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cities suiting your taste and your budget. We've been leading tours in Russia for many years, and believe that we now offer the most informative and enjoyable sightseeing tours available. If you have your own plans, we can help you tailor a program to suit, for groups of any size.
HOTEL BOOKINGS
We can organise your hotel bookings whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or family, or as part of a larger group. If you'd prefer to book directly, we're just as happy to offer our tour services alone.
GROUP AND VIP SERVICES
All of our tours are designed to the highest standard, but we also offer an exclusive range of VIP and Luxury Travel services to suit the most discerning traveller and entourage.
