We cannot praise the team highly enough - they were great. St. Petersburg is a wonderful city and we felt we had the perfect cultural experience and had a good taste of the city old and new. Alan Chubb
Our tour gave us a spellbinding introduction to the architecture, history and art of the city and the weather was also kind to us. Lis
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
