I felt an incredible sense of accomplishment afterwards. The tour had just the right amount of structure, and our guides were extremely genuine and personable.
I thought the trip was very well organised. There was a lot of laughing and friendship during the trip.
Thanks very much for a well thought out tour - the variety of scenery, villages, towns, cities, churches and museums increased my appreciation of Russia.
