Thank you, Slava. I was going to write this weekend- we just returned yesterday, after the Baltic cruise, the trip to india and finally, the Ireland stopover. I cannot find words to thank your company for the absolutely fabulous arrangements throughout the trip to Moscow and St Petersburg. We were very impressed with the guides as well, especially Jane in St Petersburg. Everyone in the group was thrilled with the whole russian experience. We had no idea of what to expect as none of us had been to Russia before, but we know we wnat to come back, and have you plan our trip once again !! Will send you pictures in the next 1-2 days. Thanks for all the wonderful arrangements, once again, and I will be very happy to write you and your company a reference letter if someone wants to hear more !

best wishes, kasturi

Hi Slava! We re not quite home yet -- currently in transit in Seoul waiting for our flight -- but you can certainly feel okay, as we quite fell in love with Russia and all the arrangements you made were just wonderful! Our little problem, of course, is the kind of thing one tells at the dinner table for months afterward, having a better time with each telling. What no one at the shipping company knows -- but YOU know this -- the Russ, which was the ship we sailed on, turned out to be the one we asked you about first, as its itinerary was just perfect for us -- three days in St Petersburg and three and a half in Moscow.... but you couldn t get us a cheap berth on the Russ, so instead we settled for the other ship, which cut out a day in St Petersburg and gave us more time than we needed in Moscow. Well, as things turned out, we sailed on the ship we wanted but only paid for the cheap berth! And we got a whole extra day in Petersburg, which is certainly a nicer city than Moscow anyway! So everything worked out better than we could have imagined. The Cruise Director of the Russ, Anton, was so nice to us that I will send the company a thank-you email when we get home.... we got two free shore cruises in Petersburg and a ride into town in Moscow, and, of course, he insisted on a cabin upgrade, even though we kept saying that wasn t necessary. All in all, the Petersburg experience and the cruise was one of the happiest times we had in the eight week holiday. And Moscow is a knockout! We re proud that we learned to use the metro like veterans, even though there s not much English to help us along.... and we had fantastic weather right up to yesterday, which was our departure day. With the quick ride into Red Square courtesy of the ship, we actually did six hours of sightseeing on that first afternoon, so we ended up doing everything we had planned to do in Moscow... even filing past Lenin s body in the Mausoleum! We loved Russia and couldn t be happier with how everything turned out. So please forget all about that one little problem, which was the shipping company s mistake, anyway.... did I mention to you that in the Russ s handouts they gave two different times for the departure from St Petersburg... so they re very sloppy on times, it seems! After this experience with us, they will probably be more careful in future! But, anyway, they re a great company, very helpful and friendly and they do try hard... everyone on the cruise was full of kind words. All the best, and we ll write again when we re settled back into our home routine. Alan and Helen

Dear Galina,

Just a quick word to thank you very much for organising our visit to your wonderful city. Both our guide Alexandra and our driver Timur
were excellent. We were particularly impressed by Alexandras dedication, attentiveness and sense of humour. Our itinerary was well chosen, and gave us a good introduction to the many sights and
experiences that St.Petersburg has to offer. We look forward to coming again and seeing more of this exceptionally beautiful Imperial Capital!

Best regards,

Myrto , Ellen and Friedbert

Hi Slava!

This is just to let you know that we are in Moscow and everything is okay. That little problem (clients were late for the ship departure) really didnt amount to anything, really, and the ship company took full responsibility for the error. They treated us very well, and by the time we left port the next day, it was all forgotten. So I dont want you to worry about it... it was their fault, not yours, and they did everything they could to make things right. We had a great trip, and are delighted with the Moscow hotel... very luxurious, more than we expected.

Will write to you again from Sydney, but right now I must contact home, since the holiday ends in less than two days. Thanks again for everything, and please dont feel bad about that one little problem... it was nothing, really.

Dear parallel 60,

Just a brief message to say how much I enjoyed my day at the three Palaces. Please pass on my thanks to Alexandra & Dimitri -- I saw everything that I hoped to see. As well as being very enjoyable I learned a great deal about the history of the sites and their contents as well as the royal occupants. It was certainly amazing to see how beautifully these have been restored after the tremendous damage during the war.

Thank you again for your excellent organisation
