So many impressions - the trip from St Petersburg was worth it. One day is of course too short, but it was all great. Recommend it 100500 times, thank you so much.
Many thanks to Ekaterina! Three wonderful days in Volgograd. We liked the care taken in choosing guides for each group. Special thanks to Sergey for the fascinating tour of the city, Mamayev Kurgan and the local history museum.
Katya is talented and knows her work inside out. She organised everything just as we'd hoped: unhurried, interesting, with good food along the way and lovely places to see. We'll keep exploring culture through her programmes. Thank you🙏🏻🔥
