A Great Experience

St. Petersburg is a beautiful city and we were so glad we went there and to Estonia and Latvia. To see how these countries really are is quite an experience and we suggest that more travelers should go and see for themselves the great culture and history of these countries. You will not be disapointed. Our tour guide was not the best and did not inform us of some changes that were made and she had a bad habit of telling you interesting facts that the local tour guides were going to tell us which I thought took some of the interest out of the local guides narataive as they didn't know that our guide had already told us the highlight of this guides tour. Other then that negitive and some very fast paced power walking with Lala we loved the trip. Huge value and all bases covered. Love Go Ahead!!!!

Prepare for an Awe Inspiring Experience

We loved our trip to St. Petersburg and the Baltics in June, during White Nights. We were treated to amazing art, architecture, rich history and wonderful world treasures. We are still digesting all that we saw and we find ourselves still trying to learn more about this part of the world. Every inch of the tour was magical from Red Square and the Kremlin, to Palace Square and the Hermitage. We loved the charming Old Towns of Tallinn, Estonia and Riga, Latvia. Our tour director was fantastic and along with her knowledge and the expertise of the city guides in St. Petersburg and Moscow, they gave us a great experience. Again, Go Ahead has knocked our socks off with an outstanding tour. And here is a "Hangout" TIP: Take time out on the Neveky Prospekt in St. Petersburg to go to the second floor of "the Singer" where you will find a wonderful cafe for lunch or coffee, tea and pastry - you can sit and relax while overlooking the Kazan Cathedral-magical.
