Please, contact DenRus by e-mail, if you wish to have a direct conversation with any one of the below mentioned persons: ali@denrus.ru
“Everyone with DenRus went out of their way to help me, when on the first day, I could not find my husband upon leaving the ship. We only regret that due to illness we missed going to the DenRus Berlin tour. We also enjoyed the unique St. Petersburg underground “Metro” ride.”
Virginia and Claridge W. - Loganville, Georgia, USA
“Longer time for picture taking at some main exhibits. Itinerary is a little long. That is what I wanted, but I got pretty tired at the end.”
Ben W. – Irving, Texas, USA
“Over two days we got to know better the history, the cultural heritage and the contemporary life of the city. Fine tour! – Please, try to work with the cruise lines to stop their intimidation of independent passengers. A cruise customer should not be in the middle.”
Leo T. – Basking Ridge, N.J., USA
“Difficult to know what more you can do. It was an excellent tour and has left us with many happy memories of St. Petersburg. Thank you DenRus, especially to our perfect guide, Ljudmila!”
James and Delia B. - Ascot, Berkshire, United Kingdom
“Advertise more!”
Dan S. – Lenexa, Kansas, USA
“Your e-mail communication prior to the cruise gave a personal touch.”
Dolores C. – Newport Richey, Florida, USA
