Hello,
I have been meaning to email you for a while to let you know what a great time we had in St Petersburg.
All the arrangements you made for us – the transfers, the hotel and the ballet tickets went very smoothly.
The hotel was in an excellent location, the staff very welcoming and the rooms and food of a good standard.
We were lucky to have sunshine and snow, so I think we saw this beautiful city at its wintery best.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Jane

Dear Iveta

We have now returned from our trip to Russia, and wished to thank you for the excellent organisation of our visit.  The flights and transfers worked perfectly, and the Hotel Angleterre was comfortable, with very efficient and helpful staff at Reception, who were always able to help with our enquiries. We were much impressed by such a remarkable city, full of contrasts and beauty, and though we have not seen enough in four days, it has been a marvellous experience.

Many thanks for all your help.

Kind regards
Christina and Bryan

Dear Daina, We have just returned from a most wonderful trip to St. Petersburg. The Hotel Angleterre was situated in an ideal position for seeing the sights. The staff and management were excellent, efficient, extremely helpful and very friendly. Our guide Vasily Novikov was of the highest order, both knowledgeable, friendly and well informed in all aspects of the history of St. Peterburgh and the surrounding Palaces, he was complemented by our excellent driver who managed the traffic of St. Petersburg with both skill and determination.
In conclusion, we would like to thank you, Baltic Travel and your colleagues in St. Petersburg for making our trip so memorable,

With best regards,
Roger and Rosemary

Money in Russia

When you go to Russia we recommend having some Russian Rubles in cash with you (enough for initial expenses) and for the rest – use your credit/debit card. A lot of shops, restaurants, night clubs and larger bars accept major credit/debit cards in the big cities, however if you plan to go to smaller towns or shop at the local markets or small souvenir shops you are expected to pay cash in Rubles. Only few specialist souvenir shops will accept cash in Euros, US Dollars and British Pounds. You will find many ATMs (in Russian – “bankomat”) in Moscow, St Petersburg and other major Russian cities. They can be found next to banks, in metro stations and in the lobbies of most hotels. US dollars or Euros can be exchanged everywhere in Russia, but if you have any other currency it might be hard to find an exchange bureau and the rate will most likely not be favorable. There are many bureaux de change and some are open 24 hours a day. It is worth shopping around to find the best rates especially if you plan to change large sums from US Dollars or Euro, other currencies are normally only changeable at central exchange offices or big banks. We recommend exchanging British Pounds in local banks. Banks in Russia are normally open from 09:00 until 17:00 except weekends and bank holidays. We suggest notifying your bank of your travel to Russia or they might block your card automatically after your first use of the card in Russia.
