Anna,

I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you! We had a wonderful trip and the weather was perfect, just what I would have hoped to have in Moscow in December!

Irina was fantastic guide and she became a friend. She was knowledgable, friendly and fun and we truly enjoyed our time with her! I know that we could have navigated at least some of our sightseeing on our own but we would not have seen nearly as much nor would we have learned as much without her. Irina made our trip fantastic! It was also great to get that local perspective that otherwise would have been missing from our trip. We would, and have already, highly recommended her and your service to our friends and family should they choose to visit Moscow.

As far as our itinerary goes, day one and two were fantastic. The only thing I am not sure I would repeat would be the bunker but I did enjoy the tour. I was really looking for the Cold War/Soviet flavor and certainly found it! Thanks for your help in building a plan that insured we would see the most we could in our short time in Moscow!

Happy New Year!

Jeremy McKenzie

Anna,

Thank you for arranging the tour of Moscow for us. It was all we could have asked for. You did a great job setting it up for us and matching us with Michail. We will certainly recommend your services to our friends and colleagues. Thanks again.

Steve

The tour was excellent. Olga and Yuri did wonderful jobs of showing us everything we wanted to see in Moscow and more. We would definitely use your services again and recommend you to anyone planning a visit.

Hello, Anna!

My visit to Russia, specially to Moscow, was great. Not only in relation to work. I just loved the city.

To a great extend, much of the success of my trip has to be credited to Ignat. I just can't express how grateful I am to have had him working with me during my stay in Moscow. Besides all the help he gave me as a guide and interpreter, he is a great guy and gave me a precious hand in schedulling interviews, suggesting names to be part of my report and giving me some important insights about the country. I certainly would not have been able to do half of what I did in Moscow if it wasn't for him.

I'm very greateful to you too, Anna, for having understood my needs suggesting Ignat to work with me there.

Ignat has told me about writing something on your website about your agency and I'll certainly do that. It will take a few days yet, as I'm totally envolved with my article about Russia right now. But I'll do with great pleasure.

Many thanks for everything. Please, send greetings to Ignat!

All the best,
Jose

Dear Anna,

We enjoyed our tour immensely despite the rather horrible weather. It's unfortunate that the red square was closed today due to the election but Mikhail did a wonderful job. He's been exceptionally patient and very knowledgeable, we all like him very much and appreciate his efforts.

Thank you.

Regards,
Louise

Sorry for the delay in reply, I was traveling. Mikhail was FANTASTIC!!! I thought he was well organized, well informed and made our time together enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to others

Milo

Hi Anna,

Thank you very much, we had a brilliant tour. Mikhail was fantastic - he was very knowledgeable, professional but almost knew where exactly to take us - like he know what sort of things we would like to see and do. He was very precise and also made the tour really easy (I had a small baby and pram with me).

I would definitely recommend your service and would also use Mikhail again - please give him our best regards :)

Kind regards,
Gillian

Michael is a very special guide!!! He is an expert in an incredible number of areas - history, art, architecture, literature, politics and culture. For example, when visiting Kremlin with Michael we visited Archangel's Cathedral. Micheal told of the Italian architect Aleviz Fryazin Noviy; how the Cathedral was not only a burial place of Moscow Princes and Tsars, but also the relics of St. Prince Michael Chernigovcky murdered in the Golden Horde in 1254, and also the relics of Tsarevich Dmitry, the younger son of Ivan the Terrible. He gave the story behind all the beautiful icons filling the walls. He then described how it became a museum and then reverted back to a church. I only wish we had more time to spend!

Originally, we picked BridgeToMoscow because they responded very quickly and professionally. Anna, the contact person, asked our needs and immediately put us in contact with guide Michael. We were travelling in Moscow with our two mothers - a Russian and 79 year old American. They not only needed a description in both languages, they also needed help to get around. All these things Michael was able to provide with pleasure. He picked us up from the hotel and provided a tour of central Moscow on the first day and a visit to the historical part of the city (Tzaritsino and Kolomenskoe) by car on the second day. Our mothers were both very happy and fond of Michael.

I would also like to add that Michael is involved with charity work for the famous Children Hospital in Moscow . He is not only an excellent tour guide, but a big kind-hearted man. I gladly recommend Michael to anyone visiting Moscow!!

Hey Anna,

Mikhail was possibly the best tour guide I've ever had & he greatly exceeded my expectations. When I return to Moscow with my wife (hopefully next year) I will definitely make use of your services again & request Mikhail as my guide.

All the best,
Trevor

Dear Anna ,

I am writing this email to tell you how wonderful your guide Mikhail was during my visit to Moscow. He was VERY knowledgeable , patient with my questions, and very informative about Russian history and art. Your tour company is very fortunate to have him on your staff. Thanks to him and your tour company, I had the trip of a lifetime in Moscow. Thanks again !
Sincerely ,
Yvette Alfonso

Hi Anna,

We just returned from our trip, and I wanted to let you know that Mikhail did a great job showing us around Moscow and covering the places we wanted to see. He was very informative, timely, and flexible. His english was very good, and we enjoyed his company very much. He allowed us to cover everything we wanted to see in the short time we were there.

Thank you,

Chris

Dear Anna,
I am safely home. I enjoyed very much Moscow. Is it an exaggeration to say that I have never enjoyed a trip so much in my life? It was mainly because I was able to see in three state museum's Varvara's work from their archives and interview Irina Kojevnilova, the biographer of Varvara. But all this would not have been possible without your initiative to contact these museums successfully. You are remarkable in your sensitivity and intelligence, taking time to understand and helping to realize a stranger's dreams during this trip. Mikhail was also stupendous. No doubt his intelligence and courtesy contributed to my being received so cordially in the state museums and by Irina. Within a very short time, he showed me many important sites in Moscow, including the Kremlin, Armory, Churches, museums, metro and the streets of Moscow. I enjoyed very much our discussions on the history, culture and the political and economic changes in Russia. Finally his help was invaluable to identify good books on Soviet foreign policy that my husband needed.

Thank you for everything.
Warmly,
Setsuko

I was in Moscow in August 2011 and had a one day tour with Ekaterina . It was wonderful, she is a wonderful guide . We went to the Tretkayov Gallery and gave me an excellent explanation . We went to the Armoury and it was great as well. We also walked around and saw parks ,sculptures as well as everyday russian traditions .I had a wonderful time!!!! Thank you and I will surely recommend your services ....

Susana de la Garza

Hi Anna/Ekaterina.
Just wanted to say thank you for your guiding services on my recent trip to Moscow. I very much enjoyed my time. I have never had such a knowledgeable guide before. Congratulations on the quality of your service and best wishes to you for the future.
Kind regards

Anna,
Oleg was great. His knowledge of Russian history and landmarks was very informative. The fact that he enjoys learning more about the subject on his own certainly added to our experience of the city. He was very helpful in getting the bags making numerous calls over two days. He showed up promptly and always told us what the daily schedule was and then worked with our changes. Roz fell down some stairs the day before we left so her back was very sore and we had to rest and even omitted Ostankinko because of her pain.

We would certainly use your services again and recommend to others.

Thanks for making the arrangements. The tours from the boat were quite a contrast with the group not nearly as fun as Oleg.

Mike & Roz

Hi Anna,

I wanted to thank you for organizing the Moscow tour for us. Everything went smoothly, starting from our arrival at the airport until our departure at the train station. Irina is a wonderful guide, and my family and I enjoyed her company. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, and she did a great job in showing us around.

Once again, many thanks!

Regards,
Adarsh

Hi Anna,
Yes, our tour was great. Irina was a wonderful guide and very patient and answering all our questions and requests. She even helped us at the end find things in the grocery store. The tour was very informative and definately helped us over the communication barrier. We would definately recommend Irina as a guide.
Yours,
Karen and Ed Cornthwaite

Hi Anna,

Thank you for your email.
Natalie was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more. We have alot of experience with guides during our holidays and Natalie is definitely the best guide we have ever had.
She knew so much and was so informative and so interesting too!

We wanted lunch at a russian restaurant away from the tourists and Natalie kindly took us to a great local restaurant and the food was great.

I would highly recommend Natalie to friends and will be writing a review on TripAdvisor shortly.
thanks again,
Sylvia Chung

Dear Anna,

We had a wonderful time in Moscow. We saw everything that we wanted to see including an opera at the Bolshoi. Oleg is an excellent guide. He is very well informed about the history of the sity, Russia and the art that we saw. He is a very pleasant gentleman with whom we spent 3 1/2 days. Our only complication concerned finding the correct track for our Saspan train to St. Petersburg. This was not his fault, but rather a lack of signs at the train station.

Barry

Mikhail was amazing! Truly outstanding. We have had guides in other countries when we traveled, but he definitely shined in comparison to all the rest--even to other Russian guides. He was very very thorough with his explanations, open to conversation, had patience when my eldest daughter hip was hurting her, his vehicle was clean and spacious, went out of his way to ensure we were all having a wonderful time, always on time, always polite

Anna, I cannot speak highly enough of him and our experience.When we return, we would definitely like to spend our days with him.

Claudia Serratos

Hello Katerina, Thank you for providing great service, the trip was amazing and Mikhail Kazbekov fulfilled all my expectations about the great city of Moscow. He is very professional and knowledgeable; truly a gentleman.

Thank you again

sincerely,

Dear Anna and Katerina,
congratulations on organising such a wonderful winter tour of Moscow. Everything was flawlessly organised and well communicated prior to our arrival. Our children (Sam, 11, Jack, 8 and Kathryn, 7) loved your company and you coped admirably with all their questions, and even managed to get them in and out of the Metro stations without looking too stressed. I would urge anyone who is thinking of coming to Moscow to consider a winter break - it was cold - and you need warm, waterproof boots, but the snow and ice in the parks was beautiful and the Museums and Churches were almost empty so there was no lining up. Once inside Russian coat check ladies are the most efficient in the world!

Thank you so much for making our 6 days in Moscow memorable, fun and stress free.

As a family we have travelled to South America, Africa, America, Europe and Asia all with small children and I would say that your services were just perfect for us.

Hi Anna,
I would like to extend a huge thank you to you for your very professional assistance with my group's visit to Moscow!
A combination of interesting, patient, humorous and very informative – you really are the perfect guide. You made Moscow come alive for us and I, for one, left with a wealth of knowledge of your history, traditions and way of life. I also really enjoyed and appreciated you teaching us the Cyrillic alphabet!
I will definitely recommend your services to other people visiting Moscow and have already sent your details to my travel agent so that they can recommend you.
Thanks again and I hope your new venture is hugely successful!
Warm regards

Hi Ania,
I just wanted to thank you for being such an excellent tour guide - without you the trip would simply not have been the same.... We enjoyed your seemingly limitless knowledge of Moscow (and I particular enjoyed the visit to the Tretjakov Gallery to discover the fabulous icons by Rublev , which I would never have looked at otherwise), your charm and diplomacy even in tricky situations.

Hopefully I will have the time and opportunity to come back to Moscow soon. In the meantime , I wish you all the very best for you and success in your job and -lots and lots of tourists of course

Kind regards

Hi Katia,
Thank you once more for the incredibly beautiful tour, your personal friendship and warm attitude yesterday. It went past beyond our expectations. We've been truly impressed by your knowledge, and your passion :) (also your passion to keep us kids under control and listen to you ;))
I hope we will be in touch and you will show us all the other lovely parts of Moscow too.

My husband and I would like to thank Anna and your organization for the wonderful time we had in Moscow at the
beginning of September. Anna was an exception guide. She was enthusiastic, organized, and knowledgeable. She
was extremely helpful and willing to answer all our questions. The three days we spent with Anna were wonderful.
Thank you.

Dear Anya, so many things to thank you for! Thank you for showing us your beautiful country, teaching us your varied history, keeping us safe and sharing your vodka and caviar culture. Spasibo!

I would just like to say that my parents and I had a great time, and really enjoyed the week. I cannot praise Anja enough, she really is an outstanding leader and the whole group told me how great they thought she was. Her knowledge was very impressive, and her ability to look after the group was excellent. I hope that she will continue to look after the Exodus groups.

Hello Katya.
This is Rick Citta. I am the American guy you helped last June to get to Barnaul. It was one of my best memories of the year, Moscow and your companionship and guidance. Even though it was just one day I think back upon it fondly…

Katia,
I wanted to let you know that I had a wonderful experience here today with the tour. Ignat did a fantastic job of showing me around, discussing items, answering questions, and helping me to get the most out of the day. It was cold, but we balanced out walking with getting inside at various times, so it was great.
If others I know of are visiting here, I will certainly pass on your contact information.

Best!
