50 year long dream came true

A trip to Moscow was a 50 year long dream for my wife Rita and I. We have been wanting to go for such a long time that expectations were high. Having carried out some market research on the internet, we chose to travel with Russian City Breaks and it was the best choice we could have made. We have mainly used package holiday companies in the past, so this was totally different (and has whet the appetite for more travel to Russia).
Our pre departure service was excellent and we left for Moscow on April, 23 (2011 - from editors). We were greeted by our guide, Natasha who was most knowledgeable and pleasant - a real gem.

We chose to stay in the Marriott Tverskaya Hotel where the facilities were brilliant and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

We visited many places in Moscow, but my personal highlight was the metro tour - absolutely AMAZING! The Kremlin tour and Armoury came second. As far as evening entertainment was concerned, the Bolshoi Ballet left us speechless - what an experience!

Our dedicated driver Egor was, importantly, always prompt. He was also a perfect gentleman and most helpful.

As this trip was so long-awaited, we decided to coincide it with another very special event in our lives - our wedding anniversary. In general, the local restaurants and cafes served very good food and the service was spot on, but for our anniversary dinner we chose the Savoy… WOW!

This trip more than matched our expectations. We have already raved about it and the way it was organised to all our friends and relatives.

We are so happy we chose Russian City Breaks to help us turn our dream into reality. Thanks again, RCB, very well done!
