Marcie this was indeed a Regent excursion, we were in RUSSIA and ZERO infrastructure so everyone had to do a Regent Excursion. Even if you had a visa you probably could never have found a guide.

We walked from the tender to the Monastery and the vehicles were a hoot. All of them were old and a van that would have been on a movie for a rundown third world country.

Back at sea today and again seas like glass. So wonderful!!
