Our core purpose is to enrich people's lives by creating unique, interactive travel experiences including “must see” tours for the first-time visitors to Russia and special interest tours run by gurus of the subject;
Our tours are not about "lolly pop" large groups where people learn facts and names. Our friendly guides provide the local expertise, insight and interaction opportunities along with their rich knowledge of the Russian history and art;
We have contracts with choice hotels and offer accommodation in the heart of Moscow and ST-Petersburg to meet different budgets;
We have our own fleet of luxurious and comfortable vehicles as well as partner agreements with transport companies which allow us to offer safe and reliable transport for all our tours and individual transfers;

ST-Petersburg is a unique destination in the cruise travel industry. It is the only one of the Baltic ports that enjoys a 3-day stopover with certain cruises. Still not enough-ST-Petersburg has got so much to offer.

Cruise and ferry passengers are supplied with documentation (tour tickets/blanket visas) required to tour visa-free.

Our team is compact; we are multi-skilled, disciplined, and attentive to detail and trained to meet deadlines. All the tour guides are University graduates, fluent foreign language-speakers and are holders of several museum licenses and last but not the least, we are passionate about what we do.
