As we had children with us, we needed to be able to rely on the transfers working- if it was just me it is easy to jump into a taxi, but with children you need to be able to know things will run smoothly

I just wanted to thank you for your help in organizing the Transsiberian trip that I took in August. It was perfectly organized and really enjoyable. I was the only person using the ”independent” formula, but I really appreciated that Justgorussia put me and another passenger who was on the tour, in the same train compartment. As far as solo travel in these places, I enjoyed having the connection to your company and the others in the train. I also appreciated that your offers are kept within the budgets of average tourists, as many tour operators offer something which is not accessible to a lot of people.
