Way to Russia Testimonials

Way to Russia are by far the best company I have dealt with for Russian visas and advice. I run the Mongol Rally and we have very large numbers (400 people) with peculiar requests for visas in unusual parts of Russia.
Dmitry and his team dealt with us very professionally and promptly not to mention putting up with a lot of complications (all created by us). They provided the invites exactly as requested and even found a new type of visa that suites us perfectly. They have a wealth of advice to offer about anything Russian.
I really can’t recommend them enough and wouldn't use another company!

Received 16/09/06 from Gina Karamountzou: I would like to thank you for providing such a smartly, nicely and (I believe) objectively presented information about the Transiberian railway, as well as about Russian people. You have inspired me to restart my Russian language lessons, as well as to start planning a (possibly one-way) journey to Siberia starting from the railway.


Received 2/05/05: It is fun to think that I called in the US [...] and talked in English to a helpful Russian man married to a French
lady.... I guess that it is what we call in French the process of
"mondialisation"


Received 15/04/05: I'm learning Russian and I have seen other sites.
What I like especially about your language pages is that you can see immediately useful phrases and can also see the sentence structures and learn how Russian sentences work.
I found the language pages extreemely useful, epecially also the phrase written how it is pronounced, and also the sound file that you can download to hear it. Well done guys!

Hello, First and foremost, I must tell you how wonderful this website is. The information is accurate and presented in a very organized manner. I find your description of Russian babuskas very perceptive not to mention entertaining. Keep up the good work.
P.S. Good section on public transportation etiquette. I kind of miss it here in America.


Received 4/03/04:
Thank you for this site. It is not only quite truthfull but also funny :-) (I liked comments about russians and vodka)
Even though I am Russian-Asian girl who was born and raised in Moscow.I find this site quite usefull
(I have been at home for 5 years).


Received 1/03/03:
Great site! Very informative.I was looking for some site that's not going to be sterile,corporate and all that.I was looking for some kind of a "real deal",common people's view.I actually wrote "no bullshit guide to Moscow" in Google and it took me to your "Myths and truths about Russia" section of the site.This is exactly what I was looking for.Very detailed.

"The visit to Moscow went well, good apartment near to the centre of things. Visa help very good, and tips on what to do and not also of big help. This site is the best place for information on Russia that I have found. Without it my trip would have been so much harder. The staff here sent me mails in answer to questions like - how to get to visa office. I was sent first rate info on the Metro, what road to go down and how far. When I asked about the apartment (which is not owned or run by this site), they linked in for me.
So to you all, many thanks, and the site really is good as well. Easy to use, and uptodate information."


David Halls (21/01/03):
"[..] Working with your company was a very good experience. Often is is difficult to get a high level of service from companies in Russia (they are either slow to respond to questions, or do not respond completely) but that was certainly not the case with your company. I would highly recommend your service to anyone travelling to Russia, and will likely use your service this fall for a trip from Moscow to St. Petersburg."

Mike (18/01/03):
"Thank you VERY much for this website: I'm planning a trip to StP later this year, and this has been the BEST source of information, especially about buying tickets, and getting around on the trains. THANKS. Mike from New Zealand."


Roxane Henry (16/01/03):
"Just would like to thanks you for all the good informations (hotel, train, bus). I have been in Russia in December 2002 and begining of January this year. In each city covered by your web site, I used your informations. I had also other guides books with me, and each time yours info were the most accurate and the most usefull. So you highly contribuated to facilitate our trip. I just invitate everyone to use your info. It 1000 time better than the Lonely Planet ones. Especially for all the info over the "moving around" in the Golden Ring.
The only negative point : Why don't you cover other Russian cities as Stalingrad, Ullyanovsk, Kazan, Murmansk, Astrakan (I have been visiting those cities, and I was missing your info."


Ruud Schelvis (14/01/03):
"Hello, my english isn't so well, but I like your site very well and I have placed it on my website: http://traveleurope.star4all.com"

"This is a really great site for people who speak English and are beginning to learn or want to learn Russian. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Russian. My compliments to the creator and designer of this site."
