Time has flown since we got back from our trip and we apologize for taking so long to write.
We had a wonderful time in Moscow and you were part of the reason. Moscow is a
beautiful city and you showed us many great places that we would not have seen on our
own. You were also a lot of fun to be with and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with you.
You were always on time, if not early, and because of that we depended on you and you never let us down. We will definitely recommend your services to anyone.

We finally arrived home after a very eventful trip to Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Egypt. However, one of the most memorable times was our day with you in Moscow. Thank you for spending the time with us.

We didn't know what the process would be when we arrived at the Moscow airport nor did we really know if you would be there to meet us. We were just a bit apprehensive. Not only were you there but you were there before we were and you were ready to escort us around. You had the day planned so that we could crowd as much into it as possible. You seemed to know what we would enjoy best and enjoy it we did. St. Basil's Cathedral, in my mind, is one of the Wonders of the World. I am impressed with your knowledge of history.

One highlight for me was getting back to the airport. I have never seen traffic like that before. Where else do sidewalks become a lane of traffic or where unused oncoming lanes become lanes going our direction? Even you seemed amazed at the driver who negotiated the heavy traffic going backwards. That was the most fun trip I have ever made in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I realize you didn't plan that but thanks for it anyway.

Not only did we enjoy our time with you but you created enough interest that I would like to return sometime and have you show me more. I have one request. The borsch at the restaurant that you took us to was wonderful. You mentioned that your mother's borsch is better. Is there any chance she would share the recipe with us?

Thank you for the fun day. To anyone who reads this or would like to contact me, I would give you my very highest recommendation. Thanks for adding to our adventure.

Sincerely,

My aunt and I were on a tour of Russia but we had extra time to schedule as we pleased. We had heard about Sergiev Posad and Abramtsevo. We found Arthur on the Internet and scheduled with him to go to those places when we had a free day.
Arthur planned our day beautifully. He met us exactly when he said he would. He had arranged for local guides in both places and we were delighted with them. Not only is he a great driver/guide, but Arthur is a fun person with whom to spend a day. We were totally pleased with the way he took care of us and when I return to Russia I will definitely seek him out.

From the moment we saw your smiling face as the train pulled into Moscow, till the second we regretfully said good bye at the airport, 3:30AM, we felt completely comfortable and very lucky.
I found you on the Internet and had good vibes. Your concern for our seating at the circus and ballet came through on line, and you did get us the bst seats in both places.
But still, we didn't expect to have the most caring guide we've ever had in all our years of extensive travel.
We talk about you anytime someone asks about our trip to Moscow. We can only express our appreciation for your warmth, never ending consideration, planning, guiding knowledge, air conditioned car, and yes, English.
We cannot thank you enough for making our Moscow visit exceptionally terrific.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
