Denise - what a wonderful day and thanks for the the thrilling description. Tania sounds like a gem. So glad it worked out even better than you expected! The price of the excursion looks so steep that it's hard to justify going, isn't it? I think it's among the best things we've done thanks to Radisson. I join you in encouraging anyone who can do it to take the Moscow excursion. It added tremendously to my experience of St. Petersburg.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe journey home! Cheers, Anne
