Posted on Thursday, February 25, 2010

General Tours World Traveler, the company that pioneered travel to Russia in 1955, is offering newly-redesigned tours for 2010, featuring the attentive personal services of their own St. Petersburg-based guides. These Affordable Luxury trips include landmark city-center hotels, daily buffet breakfast, all on-tour transportation and in-depth private car sightseeing.

Privately Guided Travel… for the Price of a Group Tour!

Priced from just $2,299 per person, the 7-day Discover Moscow & St. Petersburg trip features a choice of handpicked hotels, including the historic Hilton Leningradskaya in the capital and the legendary Grand Hotel Europe in St. Petersburg. Private sightseeing in Moscow features three UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a personally-guided tour of the Kremlin Armory Museum. The next morning, guests have their personal car, driver and guide at their disposal. This unique flexibility is an opportunity to explore personal interests, whether it’s World War II history, medieval art, Russian literature, Soviet architecture – or even shopping!

Then travelers can opt to fly nonstop or travel by rail to St. Petersburg. A leisurely 3-night stay in the heart of the city includes in-depth private car sightseeing with General Tours’ own St. Petersburg-based guides. A tour of the city’s architectural highlights is enhanced by a private visit through the Hermitage Museum and an excursion to the resplendent Catherine Palace.

For travelers wishing to focus on this fabled city, Splendors of St. Petersburg is a 6-day program featuring the luxurious Grand Hotel Europe. Guests can tailor this General Tours vacation with flexible, intimate sightseeing at their own pace; the company’s private car, driver and guide is at their disposal for three full days.

Aboard the intimate, 5-star MS Volga Dream

General Tours World Traveler also offers 8 and 12-day voyages from Moscow to St. Petersburg featuring seven nights aboard Russia’s finest river ship, the 58-cabin Volga Dream. Priced from $1,999, Splendid Waterways of the Czars includes all shore excursions, fine dining with wine at lunch and dinner, luggage handling and port charges. A special Music on the Volga June departure is highlighted by four shipboard opera concerts and an enriching lecture series featuring Henry Fogel, former president and CEO of the American Symphony Orchestra League.

With the company’s new Family & Friends Savings, travel agency clients save $50 to $150 per person whenever 3 or more guests travel together on a Russia trip of 7 days or longer. These savings can be combined with any of General Tours’ other offers, including exclusive AARP Member benefits and repeat traveler discounts for members of the company’s World Traveler Club.
