Briefly about the combined groups: guests from different regions of Russia and the CIS arrive on their own, one at a time, as a family or in mini-groups and are united by the operator into one group at the start point of the tour.
Cyclic and cascade tours assume that check-in and check-out is possible on any day, you can buy a tour for any number of days from 3 to 7. Every day there will be a new group and a new guide.
Bus tours and tours with a fixed arrival date (or a fixed day of the week) of arrival assume that the group consists of the same tourists and is guided by the same guide (except for tours longer than 7 days)
Combined tours (including visits to two or more regions) It is assumed that when the region changes, there will be a change in the composition of participants and a change of guides.
The group composition depends on the tour: standard group - 40-50 people, comfort group - 19-27 people, mini group - up to 16 people. The comfort and mini format is indicated in the tour annotation, if there is no such annotation, then the group is 40-50 hours. When visiting museums in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, guests can be divided into groups of 10, 15, 20 or 30 people and are served by museum guides. The rest of the excursions (bus and pedestrian) are conducted by the operator's guide.
For guaranteed early check—in, it is necessary to book a room in advance - this is usually 100% of the cost of 1 night in a hotel in high season and 50% in low season. If the room is not ready before check-out time, guests can check their belongings into the hotel's luggage room (this service is free). Registration of foreign citizens is paid on the spot by tourists themselves (usually 250-300 rubles). Check-in at the hotel is based on your passport and last names.
Please note that the start of the excursion program does not depend on the check-out time at the hotel. The time of departure from the hotel is indicated in the programs.
Hotel accommodation is only possible in a separate room (without check-in). An extra bed in a room is a euro–fold, there are no guarantees for full-fledged three and four beds in one room in hotels as part of combined tours. Four-seat under warranty: Theater Square 4*, Hotel on Rimsky-Korsakov 3*. Quadruple room on request: Connections in 4* and 5* hotels, Suites and half-suites in 4* and 5* - the response time for price and availability is 24 hours or more, depending on the season. Therefore, we recommend that you immediately offer your guests to choose two double rooms. If guests arrive in the afternoon and lose the day of sightseeing, we recommend booking an additional night for the tour.
On the day of arrival, the tourist arrives at the hotel on his own (except in cases when a transfer is ordered), checks in on his own, leaves his belongings in the luggage room and meets with the guide at the address indicated in the program, a sign for a meeting with the name of the tour. On most tours, the meeting with the guide takes place in the lobby of the hotel (if the base hotel was purchased). When staying in some hotels, it is necessary to go to the neighboring hotel on a guided tour. Check-in at the hotel is carried out after the program (except in cases where check-in was ordered earlier).
On the day of departure, the tourist checks out of the room on their own and, depending on the tour, either hands over their belongings to the luggage room of the hotel and then returns for them, or hands over their belongings at the Moscow railway Station to the luggage room at their own expense, or leaves their belongings on the bus until the end of the program (the procedure is specified in each program). We recommend that you reserve time when buying return tickets due to the unpredictable transport situation in the city and suburbs.
