Russia by tour: Moscow and St. Petersburg. Our first tour. No regrets.
Russia by train, air and bus, for two major cities.
See two sites:
1. Russia Road Ways. Moscow; and
2. Russia Road Ways St. Petersburg.
Overview.
Kremlin Regiment, changing of the guard, Moscow
Our years of improvised road trips through much of Europe did not provide enough confidence for me to drive where Cyrillic rules, and without much in the way of English backup. Dan and I, then, went by small tour -- Moscow and St. Petersburg -- to see what that might be like for future trips in really unknown places.
A tour for a starter where alphabet, language and even sounds are new, is highly recommended. How to drive amid all that, and be safe.
