“This was an astoundingly wonderful trip! My husband and I cannot praise Sergey enough — his sunny nature,
facility with English, sense of humor, storytelling ability, politeness and
patience are unparalleled! The same
can be said about lovely Veronika and
Anastasia. We learned so much from all of them, and our eyes were opened to a new and wonderful appreciation of
Russia’s rich culture and history. We…
are leaving hoping to return someday.”
