Travel All RussiaReviews of travelallrussia.com

I was really surprised in that, Russia is a free and open society, unlike the assumptions I’d had before arriving. Enjoyed Travel All Russia’s Firebird Travels guides Elena in Moscow, Anna in St Petersburg, they were very knowledgeable and exhaustively shared the Art, and history of Russia. The group consisted of 12 People of various backgrounds, we were able to work together like a team.

Travel All Russia provided a wonderful itinerary which was managed by extremely well informed and personable guides. The accommodation and transfers were faultless in all locations so that all our needs were well catered for. I found the depth of knowledge and discussion shared by the guides at each venue to be both educational and enjoyable.

Our visit to Russia and Travel All Russia exceeded all of our expectations. The guides were consistently wonderful. They were knowledgeable and efficient, picking and choosing in each venue what to see and how to avoid lines where possible. The drivers were also excellent with the rendezvouses always tightly coordinated with the guides. The itineraries kept up a good pace but still allowed time for exploration and to fit in other sights not in the itineraries. The hotels were in ideal locations in the city centers which facilitated easy access to sights, shopping, dining, etc. Do as much reading and research as you can before the trip so that you will appreciate all the more the wonderful places you will see.

My wife and I took the above named tour in late September early October 2018. It was advertised as a small group tour and there were five of us. We spent 3 nights in Moscow and that seemed the right amount of time. The Hyatt hotel was exceptional with a fitness center that was stocked with different machines to exercise all muscle groups. The included breakfast was excellent with a very attentive staff. The location was easy walking distance to Red Square. Enjoyed our drinks on the top of the building. Our tour was led by Alexi and we covered everything from Red Square to St Basils (and included an amazing Kyrie performed by Doros) GUM department store, tourist streets, city views, the Moscow Kremlin multiple churches, convents and an unusual cemetery with buried political, literature and music leaders. Lead by Alexi we ate lunch in typical Moscow restaurants avoiding tourist traps. We enjoyed every minute we of it including the metro on our way to the high speed train. Everything was as planned and all we had to do was be on time. St. Petersburg began on the train where our guide Mihail (Michael) met us on the train and took us to our mini bus and the hotel. Again the European Belmont was a 5 star hotel with a large breakfast buffet. I suggest you find the videos on the hotels and train to see how good they are. If you go to the fitness center in the morning before 9 AM do read the directions to the stairway that gets you in there. Michael was a wonderful guide who paid attention to the little things. Like if we wanted to see a market we got there, if we commented on the outside of the mosque we stopped so we could take pictures. The history of the city did come alive for us. Again we enjoyed every moment of the tour. We found this tour better than a cruise as we got to experience the two largest cities of Russia without having to worry about a cruise ship being unable to dock (the gulf of Finland can be rough and high tides could stop shipping from getting in). We got what we wanted to see in a little over a week — faster and cheaper than a river cruise.

A Great Experience Travel All Russia is a company I would recommend.

The guides were excellent. Liked the fact that they were natives of the cities and villages we visited. On the boat cruise, we loved everything: the food, the crew and the entertainment. We were impressed by the the beauty of Russia, their culture and visible prosperity.

Agent Melissa was extremely helpful in helping us to set up our itinerary for our private tour of Russia. The local agent Alena was also most helpful in getting all tickets for ballets, operas, shows, and restaurants bookings during our trip. When our flight from Kazan to St Petersburg was delayed, I texted her and she was on top of it all to make sure my connection also arranged and transfer etc. We are overall very happy with the trip, only thing that can be improved is: some of the guides' English is not as good as we would have liked.

Very helpful and professional. All arrangements went perfectly and without problems. Tour Guide in Russia was great!
