Fantastic tour of Ekaterinburg! I highly recommend booking Alexandra and this tour. Alexandra is a knowledgeable guide who brought the history of the city to life and made great recommendations for the rest of my stay in the city. It is a great way to see the city sites while trying some delicious local food and drinks. She also made great recommendations for the rest of my stay so I was very busy while there and wish I had more time!

We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.
