Anne Marie Crowley, UK Fabulous trip

Just back from our trip to Moscow and St Petersberg. Fabulous trip. Admin staff, particularly Damon, great help in sorting out our booking at short notice as Russia had only just opened up its border to British citizens when we booked our trip. Guides (Liza in St Petersberg and Yurgi in Moscow) excellent. Very informed and enthusiastic and who really enjoyed explaining history of their country to us and showing us around. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They booked us ballet tickets, taxis, extra tours and took us to local restaurants and recommended dishes for us to try. Explained metro and bus system to us, bought us travel cards so very easy to navigate way around and we could go back to see the major sites lit up at night-time. It was so reassuring having them at the end of the phone at all times. Also being put in a Whatsapp group with Irinia who sorted out any minor issues very quickly and efficiently. This was very important to us as we were two ladies travelling alone who didn't speak the language and we felt very safe and supported throughout our trip. Thanks to all for our great trip and a fantastic experience. Would have no hesitation recommending Discovery Russia to anyone.

R. Patel, USA: Discovery Russia is the best!

I just used this tour company to visit Russia. I went to Moscow and St. Petersburg. I had an incredible experience. The staff and tour guides were very patient, professional, and helpful. This is a must especially when traveling during these bizzare COVID times. I worked with Lina and Irina and they were fantastic. They will work with you and around your budget to make something happen. If Russia is on your bucket list of countries to see, please use this company! You won't regret it. I plan on using them again in the future because I want to do the Moscow to Vladivostok train ride across Siberia. My sincere thanks to Discovery Russia for helping me make my visit to Russia very special and memorable.
