Travel to Russia (need help)

[Domimho]

I need your help!
Has anybody been in Russia? What’s your opinion?
I’m going to go there in spring but still I need more information. All I’m familiar with is Moscow…
Can you suggest me something? What to visit? Or probably, you can advise some really interesting places especially which are situated far away from big cities?
Any ideas about travel agencies that hone in on some outstanding or off the wall tourist activities? I visited such web sites as  (gotorussia.com, russia-travel.com, dovisit.com, russia.com, etc.), they really offer such tours but I’m not sure they are reliable enough…
I really appreciate your help and advices.
Thanks a lot, Michael

Hey, Michael!
I didn't ask you because I've been waiting an answer from a tour agency I have trust in.
I have asked them if they do trips for foreign travellers around Russia.
They have not answered yet, unfortunately.

I personnally didn't travel much around Russia.
This summer I've been to Volgograd.
If you are interested in WW2 this is the place you must visit.
Almost the whole city was built on the ruins.
After the Stalindgrad battle.
There is a great museum.

I live in Saint-Petersburg and I recommend you visit our city first.
SPb is truly one of the most beautiful cities around the world.
You better visit in May.

Since you have visited a lot of travel sites, I guess you have a pretty good picture of what to expect from Russia.

Happy travelling!
