Winter Romance and New Year Fun in the Russian Capitals (CB-10)

We were MORE THAN pleased with our tour. Thank you very much. We don't hold GoRussia responsible for there not being enough snow for the St Petersburg sleigh ride. A most acceptable alternative was arranged.
Ian Spence The trip was unforgettable, to actually be standing in Red Square was quite something and so many beautiful buildings to see in both cities. The organised excursions were great, The Nutcracker was wonderful as was the visit to the Summer Palace at Puskin, the Moscow Metro is quite unbelievable! Its just a shame that we didnt have more free time to see other sites. The hotels were both very good, and the whole organisation of the trip is to be applauded.
Matt Bassett Overall it was a good trip and the people on the trip were all nice although a complete mixture. The company no doubt made it a great holiday. Helen was a great guide in St Petersburg. Especially at The Hermitage she excelled although we felt we would have liked a longer time there.
Frances Collins We had a fantastic time in Russia and we thank Go Russia for the superb organisation - everything ran like clock-work. Our fellow group members were all very friendly and we had a lot of fun... The experience of visiting these two cultural cities is unforgettable and we will certainly be recommending Just Go Russia to our friends.
Nicola Crouch We found the trip amazing. Especially Helen, the guide in St Petersburg whose knowledge and charm impressed the whole group. The trip was absolutely fantastic and we will make sure to send through some great photos. Thank you for all your help
Kathryn Edwards During the booking process, we were impressed with the personalised nature of Go Russia service and how reactive you were to our questions. I would not hesitate to recommend you to other travellers, for us you provided enough support whilst letting us also be independent whilst in Russia.
Jayne Bowers I am extremely happy to add a small yellow flag for Moscow on my TripAdvisor map on the previously untouched landmass of Russia. The world seems to have suddenly become much smaller, since I visited the largest country. Only 4 hours away by air and 3 hours ahead it’s the perfect short break and still relatively unscathed from the hoards of tourists which saturate Paris, Barcelona and Rome.
Laura Leveson The trip was 'a dream come true' and our guides were remarkable people, who with great dedication, sincerity, courtesy and graciousnes led us through the most interesting art galleries, museums and palaces. We absolutely adored the cathedrals in both cities. This was a most memorable trip and I want to thank you for arranging matters for us in a professinal and thoughtful way.
Zeenat Suleman We were really impressed with the cafes and resturants we found. Wonderful service and cakes to die for. And those Russian breakfasts; wow! Those who think Russian food is all about cabbage should go and see how good your food really it. For two people who actually dislike tours Go Russia was the perfect fit, just the right balance between organised trips and free time, plus small groups. As for the Red Arrow, what an amazing train! One of the high points of the journey. We are now telling everyone we know that they just have to forget all the media sterotypes, and go see for themselves. Its well worth it. It was a fascinating experience, particularly since we have both visited your country in Soviet times. Thanks for everything!
Marilyn Thompson/Richard Savage Our understanding of Russian history, art and architecture was enhanced immensely by our trip and we really enjoyed the opportunity to visit galleries and buildings and learn so much. Another highlight was the whole day spent in the Hermitage museum, the first half with the guide and the afternoon by ourselves exploring our particular personal interests. The two cities are very different and it was interesting to visit them both. Thank you again for organising this trip for us and we will remember it for a very long time.
Luanne Thornthon, Australia We had a wonderful time, so busy we hardly had time to eat !! Everything fitted together like clockwork, everyone and everything was on time, no hitches, no delays, no problems at all. The guides in both cities were excellent, their knowledge was astounding and they were both very very nice people, nothing was too much trouble, their enthusiam for Russia was contageous. The Red Arrow was great, on time, super clean and comfy - puts British Rail to shame. In fact we were stunned by the lack of litter in both cities, no graffitti in Moscow at all and the feeling of general security when walking around. Thank you and well done.
Christine Dixon We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed all parts of the trip. Both cities were fantastic and we felt very safe when out until quite late. All of the parts organised by yourselves went exactly according to plan. All the pick-ups were on time. The guides were excellent and deserve a special mention. Thanks again I would not hesitate to use your sevice again, or recommend you to others.
