Best of Russia Tour (13 Days / 12 Nights)

This is a tour with a difference. In this tour travellers see the highlights of this fascinating country with hospitable people, magnificent architecture and world class historical sites.

The tour starts in Crimea where the main attraction is, of course, Yalta. Here we see the famous Livadia Palace where the Yalta Conference between the “BIG Three” wartime leaders was held in February 1945. We also visit Sevastopol, the historical home of the Soviet Black Sea fleet, and the Balaclava Valley, the site of the ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’.

Moscow is a world renowned city offering much to the visitor including history, bold architecture and superb culture.

Widely regarded as the ‘Venice of the North’, St Petersburg is a real gem and deserves to be included in the ‘must-see’ list of any discerning traveller. Its world class attractions include spectacular palaces such as Peterhof and Catherine; legendary museums such as the Hermitage; unrivalled architecture and more.

"Hi Hamit,

It was a wonderful trip thanks to your very personal tour-leadership. For us it felt like we'd been invited by a friend and his lovely wife to join a group on a trip to show us his homeland - of which he was justly proud. We were all lucky to have Olga's companionship and the excellent camaraderie of such a good group of fellow-travellers. We enjoyed the terrific variety of accommodations and, (probably a little too much) the great cuisine in the many interesting restaurants you took us to. For someone like me with a keen interest in history it was also a real treat to travel through that 'cradle of civilisation' with someone like Damla who so expertly provided the historical narrative. 

Thank you for a store of really good memories and also for the photographs. 

Regards"
