I booked a private tour with this company in September 2019 before the lockdown. Olga was my guide for the day and I advised her in advance of my interest in WW2 history and she emailed me with a suggested itinerary. As a UK citizen i needed a visa in advance and the company helped me with this. I caught the bis from Gdansk ( i think they have a youtube video to watch). Crossing the border is interesting to say the least but the bus waits until everyone has passed through security Olga met me at the bus station and we spent the day seeing the sights I had requested to see Olga was a fantastic guide and her English is excellent Kalingingrad is a very interesting city however its a must to have a guide unless you are a Russian speaker Highly recommended

My travel guide in Petersburg, Dasha, was excellent in showing around places. She made sure that I get to see all places well within the time frame for this tour. She had good knowledge about the place and made sure that I gain knowledge about the culture rich city of Petersburg. She was kind enough to recommend places that I can consider seeing after I'm done with the tour.

We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.

10. Excursions to the Curonian spit
What can you expect: A pleasant walk in nature. Sandy beaches, mild climate, forest and water — just for those who are tired of the bustle of the city. The guide will not only tell you the historical facts, but also complement the story with stories from the life of archaeologists, ornithologists and foresters. Guests note that the guide provides information easily and with humor. Climb the observation tower EFA to see from the height of the Baltic sea, the Bay, the highest dune Vecekrug, gull lake and woodland. "Dancing forest" and "drunk forest". Here grow trees with unusual trunks of different shapes: round, zigzag, in right angles. Of the 6 hours of travel approximately 1.5 we will spend on the road. If you do not have enough time to swim and relax — just refuse the return transfer. Many tourists in good weather ask to leave them in the resort of Zelenogradsk -it is also possible with us.
