If you don't mind, it 's time to tell a couple of modest words about author of this site and you personal guide. My name is Yana. I'm a 25 years old guide in Russia, traveler, translator. Traveling much around Russia I collected much useful information about my country - and all these lots wanted to be useful for other travelers one day. So I started guiding about 4 years ago and now you see my web page which I hope will be more full as I still work at it. Nowadays these pages offer St. Petersburg and Moscow tours info but soon tours around "The Golden Ring of Russia" including such ancient towns as Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Suzdal, Vladimir, tours to Kizhi island (the treasure of wooden architecture of ancient Russia) and Valaam island, Kareliya safari tours will be placed on these pages.

I hope my web pages will be very helpful for those who want to get more info about two capitals of Russia, Moscow and St. Petersburg, cities differing each other not only architecture, history but mentality. This diversity in particular makes them even greater attractive and enigmatic.

So feel free to mail me and I do my best to help you with info you need or to arrange your trip.
