This year we both decided to travel to Russia from the IK via Shearings travel. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Use their luxory Gold Voyager service and get the best. All hotels on route were more than satisfactory but do not expect the English breakfast all the times. You may have to eat as they do. The journey out is very interesting with great pieces of information from the drivers, easy to make friends with all on the coach.
The places to visit are steeped in history and some of the buildings are out of this world. You can see why Russia and some of the other ex Soviet states have very little money.
The street vendors offer a great service at roughly a third of the shop prices but be careful if changing money. At no time did we feel threatened or intimidated when we walked round.
The underground rail system is to be used and seen to appreciate the splendour and great service. You will also see the povery side of things as well as the rich side of things.
Visist the shows and enjoy true Russia.
Have a great journey
