Our tour guide Valentina was absolutely outstanding. Her knowledge, enthusiasm and interest in her work was infectious and we felt like we were being shown the city by a friend. All in our group of four became quite attached to her and our parting after only three days together was even somewhat emotional. She is a gem!

Valentina was wonderful, charming, knowledgeable, and on a more human side, was most willing to share her thoughts about the current status and the past, with respect to life in Russia.
