Dear Ausra,

I just wanted to thank you and your agency for a wonderful trip!  Everything from the ferry trip (s) to the tour of St Petersburg was fantastic!!!  Our tour guide was awesome!  She was very knowledgeable, helpful and an all round great person.  I will recommend this tour for all my friends.

Thanks again, Nolan and Jennifer Pike

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

Linda and I fully enjoyed our 3 day tour of St Petersburg. Having a local guide (Anna), provided a unique view of Russian life. She was the very best of guides, a wealth of information, and helped us to appreciate everything we saw. She went out of her way to provide some local colour (lunch at her favourite restaurant Katyusha ) and tips on buying souvenirs and cultural extras. Anna comes highly recommended. The only change I would request is that the schedule takes into account a light lunch around 12 or 1pm. Anna had to modify our schedule to provide this. Oh yes the boarding and off loading on the Princess Anastasia was terrible (took way too long and was disorganised). On the whole though a fantastic trip. – Doug Parlee -

This trip was setup through East-West Tours and they did a great job. All the documentation and transfers went very smoothly.
We booked a deluxe cabin on the ferry (slightly larger cabin and "priority embarkation and disembarkation"). If you keep in mind that this is a ferry and not a cruise ship you will probably find the food, accommodation and level of service to be just fine.  An odd thing -  Twice for our priority disembarkation (both times with luggage) we gathered in a lounge on the 6th floor and had to carry our luggage  down stairs to the 4th floor, this would be very hard for anyone with physical limitations.
For St.Petersburg we requested a private guide and driver.
