On your scale of 1 to 5, our trip was 5+++. From the moment we arrived in Moscow, we were met and escorted to our hotel by our guide and driver. The hotel was great and the buffet breakfasts were fantastic. Our guide went above and beyond the call of duty. She was very knowledgeable as well as personable. She suggested places for us to eat dinner as well as things for us to do on our own time. She fulfilled a dream of mine: SHE GOT US TICKETS TO THE BOLSHOI BALLET - 3RD ROW ORCHESTRA! When it was time for us to take the train to St. Petersburg, she escorted us to the terminal and waited until we boarded the train. Every detail of our itinerary was carried out without a hitch. The same holds true of our driver and guide in St. Petersburg. We were met at the train and embarked on our tour immediately. Our hotel was great here too. The drivers in both cities were very pleasant and available as needed. We did not interact with them as they did not speak English. Our guide in St. Petersburg was as knowledgeable and personable as in Moscow. She too made suggestions for us and did a fabulous job of carrying out our itinerary plus other sights. When we were due to leave St. Petersburg, our driver and an assistant took us to the train station. Our experience with Kensington Tours was fantastic from beginning to end. Thank you, Dana, for setting everything up and putting it into motion. We will definitely recommend you, and Kensington Tours, to our family and friends. If we have an opportunity to travel again, we will certainly call on you. Again, Thank you for a job well done
