Arshavir, USA: BEYOND OUR EXPECTATION

We had a tour with Discovery Russia 1 week 2 capitals. We had a very good experience from booking to the end of the trip. The travel arranger Irine was very helpful in booking and visa letter invitation.

When arriving in St Pete everything was well arranged with the transfer to the hotel. Tour leader Alex greeted us and did the orientation for the tour. City guide Darya was very knowledgeable and helpful explaining all the details and answering all the questions with a smile on her face. She is an asset to the company.

Tour leader Alex was available whenever we needed him and he is also an asset to the company. Igor, the tour guide in Moscow surprised us with his knowledge of the city. Overall Discovery Russia was beyond our expectations. Thank you so much!

Anne Marie Crowley, UK, October 2021 Fabulous trip

Just back from our trip to Moscow and St Petersberg. Fabulous trip. Admin staff, particularly Damon, great help in sorting out our booking at short notice as Russia had only just opened up its border to British citizens when we booked our trip. Guides (Liza in St Petersberg and Yurgi in Moscow) excellent. Very informed and enthusiastic and who really enjoyed explaining history of their country to us and showing us around. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They booked us ballet tickets, taxis, extra tours and took us to local restaurants and recommended dishes for us to try. Explained metro and bus system to us, bought us travel cards so very easy to navigate way around and we could go back to see the major sites lit up at night-time. It was so reassuring having them at the end of the phone at all times. Also being put in a Whatsapp group with Irinia who sorted out any minor issues very quickly and efficiently. This was very important to us as we were two ladies travelling alone who didn't speak the language and we felt very safe and supported throughout our trip. Thanks to all for our great trip and a fantastic experience. Would have no hesitation recommending Discovery Russia to anyone.
