Many thanks to Tell The Truth Traveler Bob93_2 for this write-up of his trip! Travel Guide
Need a Travel Agent? We Didn't Use One.We made all the reservations (airline, accommodation, and invitation letter) ourselves. You definitely do not need a tour group or a travel agent (however, if you enjoy tours, St. Petersburg is a great tour destination or you may feel more secure using a travel agent). We did use a courier service to handle our passports from our home city to the Russian Embassy to get the Russian visa. Even for our air flight we dealt directly with an Air France agent rather than a travel agent. |
