Russia has been in a state of flux since the fall of the USSR and has made tremendous changes in a few short years. It has always been home to wonderful artists in a myriad of artistic endeavors. It boasts the most magnificent palaces and architecture imaginable, and the people are very receptive to American visitors.

As a tour company that specializes in St. Petersburg tours, we take great pride in making sure that our guests learn as much as possible about the city and enjoy themselves to the maximum extent possible. We plan to provide timely information about events in Russia in our latest tour news.

In the current September issue we will talk about our forthcoming October trip to St. Petersburg and will cover some events from Russia's past and present which took place in the month of September.

Please enjoy this newsletter, and take this opportunity to learn about the fabled "Venice of the North" on a monthly basis.
