Trip to Russia Trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg was excellent. Enjoyed it immensely. Never beem on a tour where I was the only participant. HOTELS - Hotels were both modern first class establishments with English-speaking staff, good restaurants, in walking distance to major tourist attractions. FOOD - I guess I was expecting boiled potatoes and cabbage, so I found the food delicious, especially in St. Petersburg. First time for blini, palmini, borscht, and kvass among other treats. GUIDES - Alexey in Moscow was an excellent guide, knowledgeable, professional, very good English. My Guide in St. Petersburg, Masha, was a treasure. Very pleasant to be with. Introduced me to traditional Russian food. Made my brief stay in St. Petersburg very enoyable. Can't say enough about Masha. OVERALL - A great trip.

Following a complicated Following a complicated, multi-stop, multi-person, and eventful trip to Russia and Eastern Europe, I can say that Alex at East West is hands down the best travel agent I have worked with, ever, and by a long shot. Incredibly responsive, patient, and solution-oriented. Bravo!

Excellent Experience Alex, We wanted to let you know what a wonderful time we had in Russia! It was a fantastic trip and we really appreciate all of your hard work. All the accommodations and excursions were great! We especially enjoyed having Marsha as our tour guide in St. Petersburg! She was really fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you for your recommendation to go to Pushkin Cafe -- we loved it! In the tour, Moscow and St. Petersburg really came alive for us! We really appreciate how well organized the trip was -- this allowed us to enjoy the trip without worrying about the details and paperwork. Thank you again for making our trip so wonderful! Thank you

Great prices and service We have been using Alex's services for more than 10 years now. Every time he delivered great prices, timely service and valuable information for making travel related decisions. He is very well-travelled and often uses his experience for suggesting destinations and things to-do.

I hope East West tours ferry trips to… I hope East West tours ferry trips to St.Petersburg can resume soon….I have recommended it to so many of my traveling friends! The trip wildly exceeded my expectations. Our wonderful guide and driver met us at the dock in St. Petersburg and from that moment on we were whisked around the sights and museums of this beautiful city. Our hotel was attractive and comfortable and served an impressive buffet breakfast. In the evening we walked around the neighborhood, enjoyed cappuccinos and chatting with staff at a cute cafe, consulted with the owner of a restaurant about the menu, and of course checked out the shops. (One thing we failed to do was to carry some Russian currency…..so sadly, we weren’t able to patronize the adorable red and black polka dot coffee truck….cash only!)
