USLoved our tour of Scandinavia and Russia We just got back from a tour of Scandinavia and Russia booked with Alex. We really enjoyed the services provided by Borealis Destination Management, most of all the tour leader, Mirjana. She handled our group efficiently and has a wonderful sense of humor. We learned a lot about Russia from Masha in St. Petersburg and Natasha in Moscow. The transportation arrangements went smoothly and we enjoyed the variety of types of travel. Our accommodations were very good. And best of all we were very fortunate to travel with interesting and pleasant people. Thank you Alex for putting together a wonderful trip.

USMy wife and I are serious travelers My wife and I are serious travelers. We've already been to all 7 continents, so it's getting more difficult to excite us with a simple trip. We decided to visit the Arctic. We booked with Alex and his services were outstanding! The tour was not only an exciting adventure, but also quite informative, and the scenery was spectacular ! We easily give Alex and his services a 5 Star Rating!!

USThanks, Susie! Susie, Our trip to Sweden was a complete success, thanks to your expert knowledge and scheduling! I was impressed greatly with your expertise with the train schedules, the hotel locations, the air itineraries, and how they interact. Every aspect went as planned, and we were able to sightsee quite a bit, connect with our relatives and visit the churches and graves of our ancestors.

MYSt.Petersburg well covered in 3 days. we joined the Visa Free Tours or Ferry passengers which took the route of HELSINKI - ST. PETERSBURG - TALLINN - STOCKHOLM. we were greeted by the tour operator the moment we exit from the immigration. The 3 days arrangement were well spread out, we had enough time to visit each sights, our tour guide was knowledgeable and explains well and she managed the timing very well. The hotel we stayed in was Solo Sokos Hotel Vasilievsky, room was spacious, breakfast and service was good. We are so glad we joined this tour as we did not have to que to enter the palaces at Pushkin and Petergof. The only set back was that on the first day the tour guide who received us was different from the one that led us on day 2 and 3.

AUFantasic Tour of St Petersburg We fully enjoyed our 3 day tour of St Petersburg. Having a local guide (Anna), provided a unique view of Russian life. She was the very best of guides, a wealth of information, and helped us to appreciate everything we saw. She went out of her way to provide some local colour (lunch at her favourite restaurants Katyusha and Tepemok ) and tips on buying souvenirs and cultural extras. Anna comes highly recommended. The only change I would request is that the schedule takes into account a light lunch around 12 or 1pm. Anna had to modify our schedule to provide this. Oh yes the boarding and off loading on the Princess Anastasia was terrible (took way too long and was disorganised). On the whole though a fantastic trip.
