I had no idea what to expect from this tour. I came across a website online and decided to fill out the booking form, though I was quite nervous about whether it was trustworthy. I was contacted via Telegram by Yulia, who guided me through every step of the process. She provided all the details about the tour I had initially chosen, and when I realized it didn’t quite fit my budget, she asked about my interests in St. Petersburg and personally selected alternative tour options for me. She also helped me find suitable accommodation within my price range. The payment was made in two installments. I really appreciated how they sent all necessary documents promptly at each stage. Yulia was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions quickly—both via the Telegram bot and email. I’m so grateful to her for her support and incredible patience! After completing the payment, I received a contract, which I signed and returned. They also sent me a ticket with all the tour details, and one day before the trip, I received a voucher. A huge thank you to Yulia for her outstanding assistance! And many thanks as well to Big Country! Now, I won’t hesitate to book another tour.
