CUSTOMERS REVIEW


	We had an excellent holiday, thanks very much for your help in putting it all together. The different parts all worked very well together, we were met at every stage as planned, the accommodation was comfortable and all the guides were very helpful. We loved the snow mobile trip and the guest house near Kizhi. I'm very impressed with your website, the information was very helpful as preparation for the trip. Nina Martin It was a superb holiday that was well organised - we would not hesitate to go again! It was cold (as expected) but having been warned we were sometimes over-warm! We enjoyed the holiday immensely - and have already recommended it to friends and colleagues. Thanking you again for helping to organise a memorable holiday! Jane and Bob Wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bei Ihnen bedanken für den wunderschönen Urlaub in Russland. Es hat vom Abflug in München über St. Petersburg nach Petrozavodsk mit der Bahn alles ganz hervorragend geklappt. Wir wussten vor der Reise nicht was uns erwarten würde, aber all unsere Hoffnungen wurden weit übertroffen. Alles in allem sehr nette Leute, wunderbare Unterbringung und ein überaus beeindruckendes Land. Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre Bemühungen uns einen unvergessenen Urlaub zu bescheren. Otto The snowmobile safari was excellent with a most capable crew. The 2 night stay in the guest house could not have been bettered, warm, comfortable, great attention paid in producing good food, and jolly in the evenings during which I learnt the proper Russian way to drink Vodka. All in all this was a wonderful adventure. John Burfoot Everything was very well organised, I felt we were being looked after, we felt safe and were with knowledgeable guides. All of the people we met involved in our tour were very keen to ensure we had a good experience. Andy Brimson The experience of seeing the Kizhi area and the amazing churches was something special. I thought the skidoo adventure was well organised and Anna our interpreter did a very good job. I must say at this point I can not emphasise enough just how good our guide Sveltlana has been. We were also blessed everyday with blue skies and pleasant temperatures, I am sure it is like that all the time! Thank you all again. Dave Craig
