“Our 2 guides Helen Asafova (Moscow) and Svetlana Tumanova (St Petersburg) were just wonderful. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable and fantastic English speakers, but most important was that they were lovely, friendly, personable ladies who really made our stay in both cities complete. Also the drivers "Timmy" and Sergei were very attentive and polite and always made sure we got to every destination safely and punctually. We cannot praise that side of our holiday too highly. It added another dimension to the trip being able to talk to the guides about life in their country, learning so much more than just sightseeing.”
