Travel reviews
Hello Slava,
I apologize for this very late reply. We are home, a lot of things to do, I hope you can understand.
I called you just before taking off, but nobody answered. I did it to thank you.
We had one very best vacation and Piter became our most favorite place in the world (and believe me, we have seen a lot). Every step in Piter, one can breathe history and culture. It is amazing!
Your proposal was excellent. And the services from Svetlana and Dimitri were all we could expect.
Today we should have been on our way back to Piter, but it was postponed for at least a week.
I think we will be back next Monday and hope to stay until end of March.
We will keep in touch to plan for end of March a new vacation (there still are so many things to see!). Just one condition: to have again the services of Svetlana and Dimitri.
I will call you when back to Russia.
Best regards, Alex

Slava,
Thank you , Thank You for an incredible trip and assisting me with everything while we were
in St Petersburg. Marina and Helen were amazing and I have learned so much about your beautiful
city of St Petersburg. The bus drivers were great and they made sure we arrived safely to all of
our destinations Victor and I cannot spell the other drivers name I do apologize .
It would have been nice to meet you maybe next time. With all of our photos some of the guys
will be making a cd with all of the photos I will send a copy to you. I have forwarded your
name and company to everyone here in GK for future trips to Russia. I sent your email to
everyone who visited St Petersburg on this trip you may receive some emails. If you ever decide
to visit Germany please let me know and you are always welcome at our home.
Yours Truly

Hi??”we had a great time, and this was due in large part to the excellent efforts of Alexandra and Andrew. Both are very talented and helpful, and they worked hard to tailor the tours to what we were most interested in.
The organization was perfect, with tickets delivered on time to the hotel, and both of them very punctual.
Our overall impression is quite positive, and we would recommend your company without hesitation to others who travel to St. Petersburg.
Also, I have posted a similar review on www.tripadvisor.com. Many people visit this site for unbiased travel reviews (in case you have not heard of it) so hopefully this can help spread information quickly about your company.
Have a nice day.
Best Regards,
Yates Irene

Hi Slava,
Just a quick thank you as the Hollands are back and, despite the weather (nothing we can control), had an excellent trip in St. Petersburg. Everything worked out very well and they were very, very pleased with the drive and guide that they had. Your arrangements were first class and I
sincerely appreciate your handling our valued clients.

Dear parallel 60
Im now back in the UK after a great trip and just wanted to say thank you for all your help in organising our holiday. I very much appreciated parallel 60s professionalism and personal approach. You found us the right river cruise to Valaam and Kizhi to fit the dates we were able to travel, and the practical arrangements such as the transfers to and from the airport worked perfectly. Checking in for the hotel and river cruise was easy (not always my experience when travelling in Russia!). The staff in the hotel Moskva and on the river cruise were helpful and friendly, making sure that we found our English-speaking guides, for example.
The guides themselves (Anastasia in Valaam and Elena in Kizhi) were well-informed and engaging. Contrary to some of the other feedback, I found the quality of the meals on the river cruise to be quite high.
If I need to arrange another visit to Russia, I will not hesitate to contact you and I recommend your agency to other travellers.
Regards

Dear parallel 60, We took care of the river and canal tour. Thanks. I would like to comment about the Valaam tour. The ship and its people were wonderful. The service was excellent. The food was terrible. That was the only down side. The guide you arranged for at Valaam (Anastasia) was fantastic. I would recommed her to everyone. She is extremely knowledgeable and obviously loves the orthadox church. She presents the area with great love and passion. If you can give her a pat on the back, it would be well deserved. We had a grand tome and I hope we can come again. I also saw your tours on a train from Moscow to a town near lake Bykel and a sailing tour of the lake. These are two seperate tours and is tere a way to combine them. Thank you again for everything. I will recommend my friends to you and the Valam tour.

Hi Slava,
Thanks for writing me - I was planning to, but it has been busy: coming back to work, my son is living for Washington for internship etc. I really want to thank you for great services you provided. Our tour guides were wonderful: very knowledgeable, flexible, great personalities. Kids loved them! Thanks again, and great wishes for 2009.
Russia has changed a lot - it is so much better: clean, friendly, great food, and iwe could feel a great holiday spirit everywhere. You can not find anywhere in the world this time of the year. I hope to come back next year for holiday season with my husband.
