  • The visit was very interesting and allowed me to better understand the political history of Russia through the various monuments and museums visited. In addition, the guide spoke excellent French and was very competent and motivated. I recommend !
  • Adam Kingsmore
    The tour gave our family an inside look into the 100 years of a tumultuous Russian history. The guide was able to explain to us the details and aspects that we could not have grasped by ourselves while putting it all in context of world history. Truly a critical tour while visiting Russia!
