GBThe way to see Russia! We had three days in Moscow, five days on the Volga River, and three days in St. Petersburg. I thought I'd be living on beets and vodka but the food on the boat was excellent (continental) and the service was first-rate. I loved all of our local guides (made me fall in love with the Russian people) and our on-boat lecturers. Both Ludmilla and Olga were extra special. Would unreservedly recommend this trip!

GBA Terrific Tour We enjoyed the terrific international mix of individuals on the tour. Not only were the crew and local guides welcoming and informative, but the sites chosen were well-planned and interesting. Unlike other cruise lines, we appreciated the lack of bombardment of brochures, emails, and telephone calls. All in all, a wonderful experience.

HKAlex in Moscow is an excellent guide in this trip. He is knowledgeable and good response to every question. I and my husband enjoyed this trip very much. I and my husband had visited some cities of Russia before this trip. We still knew little about Russia. But after this trip, we knew more about Russian and its history through their good guides. Especially Alex in Moscow. He is knowledgeable and good response to all of our questions. Sure, we will recommend our friends to join your wonderful Volga Dream program.

GBTerrific experience/ the Volga Dream. My wife and I and four friends wanted to do a boat trip between Moscow and St Petersburg and didn’t want one of the fleets of ships with 200 passengers. And in addition to size we found a number of negative TripAdvisor reviews on many of those larger ships. We found the Volga Dream which takes only 100 passengers and which is privately owned by a Russian family. It could not have been better. The crew was exceptional in their friendliness and professionalism, and the boat itself was in wonderful shape and exceptionally well maintained. Despite having 100 passengers, we never found anyplace too crowded to do exactly as we wanted. The shore excursions were very well planned and executed. And the food was excellent. We would warmly recommend the Volga Dream to anyone wanting to do either Moscow to St Petersburg or the opposite direction. We made arrangements through Travel All Russia which included also some days in both Moscow and St Petersburg, and in every aspect those arrangements were superb. Rather than staying on the boat for those periods, we enjoyed wonderful center-city hotels and restaurants and superlative guides. That we would also warmly recommend.
