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.

Ivan guided us through an unforgettable two days trip from Irkutsk to the ice covered Lake Baikal and Olkhon Island. Ivan offered an a fine an flexible service, he sensed our wishes very well during the trip and adapted the plan accordingly. We think this was very important to give us the unique travel experience we wanted. Ivan speaks good English, he is knowledgeable about geography, local history and religion. We learned a lot about the Baikal area, the Buryat people and shamanism. This contributed to a very good travel experience. Lake Baikal is a Siberian gem and a must see natural beauty. A trip to the Baikal had been on our wishlist for years. Baikal Secrets and Ivan helped us make this travel dream come true. When or if we come back to experience the lake during summer, we will not hesitate to use Baikal Secrets again. I give Baikal Secrets my best recommendations

This company provides private tours and their suggested itineraries are flexible and can be modified if the client desires. Sergey was our planner for the tour. He was very responsive in our email exchanges and happy to make the modifications we requested to the suggested itinerary . He kept in touch promptly and provided all the information we needed for our visas and a detailed revised itinerary that went very smoothly. Overall, both my wife and I enjoyed the trip very much and were quite satisfied with the itinerary and arrangements. Both of the hotels (Mercure Arbat in Moscow and Majestic Boutique in St. Petersburg) were of very good quality, in good and convenient locations, with friendly, helpful staff who spoke English well. The included breakfasts were also quite good. The guides, Natalya in Moscow and Elena in St. Petersburg, were both very professional and knowledgeable about the descriptions and history of the places we visited. Overall I would not hesitate to recommend Rusmania for people looking to book travels to Russia in a non-group setting.
