You should be aware that 'invitations' from certain outlets in Russia have and are being refused at some Russian consulates. For flexibility and peace of mind, our invitations are a must. In both Moscow and St Petersburg our homestays are centrally located. Homestay represents the best value for accommodation in Russia. In addition, you receive breakfast and dinner, which represents a huge saving when compared to having to buy your meals in restaurants.
Many travellers are still in regular contact with their past hosts.
Using this style of accommodation puts more money into the hands of the ordinary person. Homestays are only available for a minimum of three nights in the cities of Moscow and St Petersburg - the minimum which should really be allowed to accomplish the essential sightseeing. For shorter stays, hotels will have to be used. Other cities in Russia can have less than 3 nights for homestays. Our hotel selection has been chosen based on visits to the hotels by members of staff and feedback from clients.
