TESTIMONIALS

We want to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. The pace, choice of activities, and sites we visited were well planned. The tour guides in Moscow and St. Petersburg were very professional, knowledgeable, prompt, pleasant, and helpful. They looked after us well. The hotels in Moscow and St. Petersburg were great. They were very clean, with good breakfast, and helpful staff. The train ride was very smooth and a great experience. The train was beautiful, clean and the amenities were well planned. Other than the hotel in Suzdal, everything about the tour was wonderful. We will highly recommend the trip and East West Tours to our friends. F.T. & Dorinda Frick - F.T. & Dorinda Frick -

Thanks for your help. This is the third time I have bought tickets through your agency and it has been good on price and time. – Santhosh Rajangam -

Hi Dora We're still on vacation ( Spain and Ireland), but done with Russia, so I thought I'd give you some feedback. Everything went well. Everyone was on time and where they should have been. We enjoyed each guide. They were all different, which made it all the more interesting. It was hard to pick a favorite. Nobody played "my country is better than yours" and we did not play that game either. It did not seem appropriate. Still there was no topic that was off the table, so we had very many stimulating discussions. As far as Russia itself, I think we learned more in two weeks than I would have imagined. Both moscow and especially St. Petersburg were beautiful. St. Petersburg has replaced Rome as my wife's favorite city.

Dear Bobby and East West Tours, I wanted to send a message and let you know my Russian tour was great and without your services, I would have been very lost! I’m so thankful the English speaking tour guides were so accommodating and friendly. They even had a wonderful sense of humor which I really appreciated. I learned so much about Russia and it’s true that pictures just don’t do those buildings justice. Seeing them up close was amazing. There is so much history there and standing in places like the Red Square was incredible. Definitely fond memories I’ll never forget.

Hi Dora Firstly apologies for not writing to you earlier – just recovering from jetlag... The above tour of Russia was wonderful and thank you so much for continuing to reassure me it would be so prior to my holiday. The guides, drivers, hotels and general organization were great. I especially have to mention Maria (Marsha) Ganina (St Petersburg) who was the best guide I have ever had on a tour – and as you know, I have travelled extensively. She was even able to find and return my umbrella to me after I left it in the left-luggage store at the Hermitage! Wonderful person and extraordinarily well-versed in the history of St P's and Russia in general. She became a friend to all of us in a professional manner.

Hi, Dora! Please accept my apology for not having contacted you before now to thank you for the wonderful tour of Russia that my wife and I participated in last July. We had a wonderful group of travelers with us (there were nine of us in total), and we enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Our tour guides, Nadia in Moscow and Masha in St. Petersburg, were terrific. We enjoyed listening to their narrations, and being able to talk to them on a personal level about life in Russia. They were both extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited. Nadia even did research on her own to answer questions that she wasn't sure about.
