TESTIMONIALS

Hi there, This is very overdue as I came back from my trip 24/12/2017. I just wanted to say thankyou. I was a little nervous being Australian and booking online with a company from a different country. Everything went smoothly. The accomodation in St Petersburg was very nice. The guide Maria Ganina was a true professional and very passionate about the city she grew up in, St Petersburg. You could ask her anything she was easy to talk to and very knowledgable. I didn't know what questions to ask, before booking. But a bit more info about the ferry may have been a good idea. For example all meals were buffets in the same resturant macalzone latino or that any cabin including and above commodore get early disembarkation.

Hello Bobby, We would like to report to you on our very enjoyable trip with east-west tours to StPetersburg. It all went very smoothly and we were impressed by the Guide Ludmilla who really knows her history of StPetersburg. She also knew how to avoid the queus at the Hermitage while driver Dimitry dropped us and reappeared when needed. On Saturday Marsha took over and we had an excellent visit to Pushkin and the Fountains. Also on Sunday Marsha showed us all there was to see on the Peter & Paul Island before returning us to the ship on time. For the three nights the NashOtel could not have been better.

Slow passport control therefore a rushed city tour. The vehicle provided was inadequate for the number of people in the group. I had to sit in the front wedged between the guide (without microphone) and the driver, unsuitable for an elderly person. Second day was better, good vehicle and the guide was well informed. However, I left St Petersburg without any sense of the geography of the city, which is perhaps inevitable in a short tour devoted only to the highlights. – Beryl Haslam -

Dear Alex, I am following upon my phone call to you last week about the wonderful trip you helped to arrange for me and my husband. Although I had booked an airbnb in Stockholm, you made our flight arrangements in a convenient way for us that allowed us to spend 24 wonderful hours in Helsinki and stay in a really great hotel, and you set up the ferry to St.Petersburg and the whole 72 hour tour we had there. Our guide Sergey was just marvelous – he is so very knowledgeable about history, the arts, and is a kind very hardworking and ever so thoughtful individual. We could not have done better than to be shown around and cared for by him.

I wanted to provide some feed back on our trip. 1. Princess Maria was ok. The linens in the room on the way to St.Petersburg smelled stale and unwashed. They were better on the way back. And the procedures to disembark at St.Petersburg were chaotic. 2. The guide and driver were excellent. Inna was the guide's name. She kept us on schedule and answered all questions. 3. Petro Palace was very good. Great location and room. The Italian restaurant in the premises was very good. It was a relief from the ferry food. – Kuma Doraiswami -
