Travel reviews
Hi there, its Drew McAdam here... the chap who was providing the mind reading entertainment and spoon bending for Brian Souters group.
Im sorry it took me so long to write, but you would not believe how busy I have been since I returned.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the great help and support you were for me when I was out in the wonderful, wonderful St Petersburg. You treated with me with courtesy and polished professionalism, and made my visit all the more enjoyable. I really want to thank you for that.
I would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family.
Thank you once again for a sterling job well done.
very best wishes,
Drew McAdam.

Dear Galina,
We returned to the US last week. I wanted to write you and tell you how much we enjoyed our shore excursion on July 27th.
Svetlana was an outstanding tour guide. She was very easy to listen to and she gave us an amazing amount of information about your city and its history. Our grandchildren are Swedish and speak English as a second language. We were unsure about how much of Svetlana s talks would stay with them. When we got back to Sweden, we were amazed at how much they remembered about the places we visited. Svetlana also was very accommodating in altering the tour schedule when our grandchildren became hungry and finding a restaurant which would allow the grandchildren to eat what they wanted and give the rest of us some traditional Russian cooking.
We hope to return to St. Petersburg in the future to see more of your amazing city. When we do, we will certainly contact your company to show us around the city. In the meantime, we will strongly recommend your company to anyone who visits your beautiful city.
Thank you again for your help in creating some beautiful memories for our family.
Sincerely,
John Callahan

Dear Galina,
I would like to thank you for helping us to have such a wonderful time in St Petersburg. The visits you organized including the restaurants we dined in were all excellent. Everything ran like clockwork and having tickets which meant we often bypassed long queues was a bonus.
Please pass on a special thanks to your excellent guide Sacha. Her command of English and knowledge of the places we visited made our visit very special. We cannot praise her enough, a lovely lady very professional with a wicked sense of humor.
We would not hesitate to recommend your agency to any visitors to Russia. We were on a cruise and only had 2 days in St Petersburg so needed to make the best of our time. It was straightforward to organize our excursions through you and the fact that we did not need a visa because we used your agency made things really easy.
Thank you once again and pass on our sincere thanks to Sacha. Please re-assure her that none of us caught a cold as she was very concerned because we got soaked in a very heavy rain shower whilst visiting Catherine Palace.
I have put a review recommending your agency into TripAdvisor. If you would like me to send a testimonial anywhere else then please get in touch.
Many thanks

Dear Galina & Team,
I just wish to thank all of you at parallel 60 for am excellent trip and service, Nataly was exceptional in every aspect of her duties, her English flawless and knowledge of the history and areas we visited was superb, but her attention and care of her clients was without doubt out standing, and we can highly recommend her services to other potential clients you may have in the future, and will also recommend your company. Andrew should also be mentioned here as well he also, was courteous, polite and very patient given the traffic he has to contend with in the city centre. My mother who is 82yrs was treated with care and consideration as were we all.
So a big thank you to all concerned for the exceptional care and attention to detail which made you trip to your beautiful city should an unforgettable experience.
Best Regards Elaine, and family.

Dear parallel 60,
I am writing to tell you we had a fantastic time in St Petersburg. Your driver Demetri met us at the station, and took us to the hotel where we met Alexandra.
Our Hotel accommodation (hotel Moscow) was veru comfortable, and very convenient to local restaurants and for walks along the river. The drivers Demetri and Mikhail were very courteous, and always at the right location for each place of interest.
Alexandra was an amazing guide who was able to tell us so much about each place we visited as well as about St Petersburg in general. Her knowledge was outstanding, she was able to tell us not just about the historical facts but also about the intrigues, scandals and family conflicts that made the places so special and interesting. Her English was fantastic and we were able to converse freely.
Thank you so much for organizing this tour for us, we will remember St Petersburg, with its unique palaces, cathedrals and museums fondly forever.
Thanks again,
Glenda and John O Neill

Dear Galina,
Just a short note to tell you that we were very pleased with our trip, and your organization of it. We will certainly recommend you to others.
The one negative was that there was no air conditioning in the hotel in Moscow. I guess that we in North America are spoiled in that respect. If you want clients from North America you might consider looking into this.
Thank you again,
Doris Herusch
