My son and I travelled to Russia for 11 days in August this year. Overall, the trip was fine - timely airport/ train pick ups and drop offs, good accomodations, and a small group of nice fellow travellers. The weather was excellent all days and the country was so spotlessly clean.
However, there was one shortcoming regarding the logistics of the daily excursions. In the first place, the tours were as good as half-day tours only, and then thanks to the tour guides in Moscow and St Petersburg, who shortened them further by terminating the tours earlier than scheduled as per the daily itineraries!
For instance, the Moscow City tour was rounded off an hour and a half earlier by the guide. Similarly, the tour to the Kremlin was ended an hour earlier. No free time was allocated. In St Petersburg, the Hermitage tour began after 11am instead of the scheduled 10am. There was so much to see at the museum that every hour lost meant less seen.We were literally running around till the closing time, not to mention the exhaustion! The trip to Pushkin was terminated much earlier too.
I sent an email to the company as far back as 4 September detailing the above issue but there has been no follow up till date.Up to the time, I booked the tour and took off on the journey, I was called/emailed almost on a daily basis but now there seems to be no interest and care from the company.
Our guide and driver were excellent. Whatever we said we were interested in seeing they worked into our tour. For example, we wanted to buy a Russian-made gymnastics outfit for our grand daughter. Our guide took us to a store that specialized in these outfits Other examples were: going back to St. Isaacs and finding an angle to take photographs with telephone wires in the way; visiting the main synagogue; riding the subway and seeing the most ornate stations; replacing a palace with a visit to the Central Naval Museum and finding a curator fluent in english.. We loved skipping lines and walking straight into museums and palaces. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and our driver managed to drop us off and pick us up a few feet from entrances in spite of hordes of busses and ferocious traffic.
The included hotel had a great location and lots of history. A private week-long tour is the best way to see St. Petersburg. It makes the two-night and parts of three days visits from a cruise ship look silly.
Travel All Russia did an excellent job for my clients traveling to Copenhagen, Stockholm and St. Petersburg. All guides were excellent.
All scheduled touring was always on time and never had to wait in any line for museums or palaces..
Ben at TAR was especially helpful in planning the trip and he followed thru on every detail.
Thank you for a job well done!
This was a very well put together trip. The tour guides were personable, knowledgeable and accommodating. The hotels had helpful people to answer any questions you might have. Both hotels had ATMs which was a definite convenience. Both also had very good breakfasts with efficient staff.
With so much to see in Moscow and St Petersburg choosing an itinerary had to be difficult but they did a wonderful job. My one question regarding this is whether visiting the final resting place of numerous tsars and another day a cemetery for famous Russians might have been a bit redundant. This is minor and in no way took away from the overall tour.
Ten days of beautiful weather was certainly a plus.
We booked our “Volga Dream holiday” with Travel All Russia and they did a great job – from the very beginning when I enquired about the trip and right through until just prior to departure, they provided an excellent customer service (always responding promptly to my many queries). I’d highly recommend Travel All Russia.
The trip was Moscow, Golden Circle and St Petersburg and I could not have been more satisfied. Guides and drivers for all 3 segments were top class and the accommodation outstanding, especially the Belmond Grand Hotel in St Petersburg.
Tours were excellent and easy to meet our guides (who were always there on time or slightly before).
Also, all the necessary visa requirements were sorted by them and explained as Russian Visas in Australia can be a little time consuming
Overall, 100% happy to recommend.............. Brian
My small group tour of Moscow and St Petersburg with a 2 day trip to Suzdal and Vladmir was wonderful. The guides and drivers were very knowledgeable and polite. The hotels were excellent and the staff were all pleasant and helpful. An excellent trip. Special thank you to Gaby from Travel All Russia who advised me about the tour and keep me informed about any changes.
"Back at home, we want to thank you for the wonderful experience of the cruise onboard the Volga Dream. It was a very good, well organized and well-operated cruise.
Special thanks to you, regarding your efficiency and fast accurate replies.
Anyway, I have some remarks as follows:
1. Besides the good lectures onboard about the history and other subjects you have to add, in my opinion, lectures about geology, geomorphology, flora, and fauna of the Volga basin.
2. Our cabin, no. 103, was very small and without being cynic it looked like a cell in prison. I was lucky to meet the hotel manager, Olga, at the first evening, and she offered me cabin 305 (which was unoccupied ) with an additional payment of 1200 $. We took it.
From the information before the cruise, it was impossible to understand how small and dense was cabin 103.
3. In my opinion, there was a waste of one day in Astrachan. In future cruises, I suggest you include a tour of the Volga delta. In fact, we organized, privately, a tour like that but it was canceled because of strong winds in delta near the Caspian sea.
I am sure that you will check my remarks.
Despite these 3 remarks, it was a wonderful cruise and I recommended friends of mine to take this tour next year.
Best regards
Edna and Emanuel Sakal"
Thank you very much!
This trip was amazing. The tour was well orchestrated. We loved the time spent between the train and hotels. It gave us the best of both worlds. Our tour leader was professional and catered to everyone's needs, even the most challenging ones.
Tour guides in each city were well informed, though one of them needed a bit more traning in public speaking as the frequent use of " Umm " was annoying by the end of the day !!
I would highly recommend this tour and the company. We booked through Firebirds tours. Nothing was too much trouble. They answered all our queries and even phoned and spoke to us.
Absolutely exceeded our expectations.
As in the past Travel all Russia lived up to expectations.A memorable holiday but more of an "expedition" as we explored little known areas.For such a trip you need to approach everything with an open mind,everything was very different but the real pleasure was coming in contact with the real Russian people, on an ongoing basis,rather than being sheltered from them,if one was in a large group.
There is no doubt that this area of Russia lives up to the real "Great Outdoors" which suited us down to the ground.
My trip to Russia was just amazing. I had no preconceived ideas of what to except. This trip was perfect in every way - accomadations, locals guides, food, churches, museums, subways, etc., and within country travels. The locals in Moscow and St Petersburg were polite, so friendly and helpful. Vladimir and Suzdal’ were an added bonus. This was such awesome life-time adventure. Kudos to “Travel All Russia.” Barbara Sharp
We had a wonderful experience with Travel All Russia. They are excellent! The tour guides were very knowledgeable, the hotels very nice, and logistics were perfect. And our contact Phil, was always responsive. I would recommend this company to anyone. They helped make this vacation unforgettable!
The only travel company to use if you want to go to Russia.
Very efficient and accomodating company. They would always answer my questions and customised our trip exactly what we wanted. The land accomadation in Moscow and St Petersberg was 5 star and high quality.
The crusie was excellent and staff very friendly . The cruisine was superb and i have done several other river cruises before and this Russian cruise the food was outstanding.If you want to go to Russia contack Travel All Russia.
My son and I had the trip of a lifetime in Saint Petersburg Russia! Every detail was expertly handled by Travel All Russia from our pickup at the airport to the fantastic English-speaking guide, Olga, and the prompt and friendly drivers, Timur and Yuri. I absolutely recommend contacting Greta at Travel All Russia for booking your own trip of a lifetime! AND we came home with half of our spending money due to the unexpected low prices in Russia!
The best experience and a super trip .Everyone guides and drivers were all very professionals curtsies and friendly, nice !!!
I will for sure use Travel Russia again soon I hope.
Good itinerary, very good work of visa department, very good transportation services,
very good and elegant hotels, very good and knowledgeable guides. Shortly, it was a fantastic trip. I recommend it!
P.S. I cannot forget how helpful and professional was my "leading" person from Firebird Tours. Thank you Urte!
I had a great tour with this company. Well, actually it was two back to back tours.
The first was a couple of days touring in St. Petersburg followed by a river cruise to Moscow. Then I toured Moscow and surrounding towns for a couple of days and followed that up with a 20 day Trans Siberian train ride from Moscow to Vladivostok.
I was in a 9 person group for the first tour and a 6 person group for the second tour. It was wonderful to be in such small groups.
I dealt with Evaline for pre-tour arrangements. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to arrange everything I had requested.
Vera was my guide for both tours and was so friendly...just a breath of fresh air.
The only two very small negatives I had were a lack of porters at all the train stations and driving by the Spilled on Blood Church in St. Petersburg instead of actually touring through the church.
I would not hesitate to recommend touring with this company. They are very professional, you get to see all the major sites, all local guides are very knowledgeable and speak very good English, and the quality of the hotels and food was excellent.
I was provided excellent service with the entire process of Visa, hotel reservations, etc. Couldn't be more happy.
The only criticism I had with the trip was that I was told I would have a courtesy ride to and from the airport to hotel and back. Neither occurred as promised.
Outside of the missed rides, I could have been treated better and would recommend this service.
