<div>Russia is filled with beautiful buildings and spectacular landscapes, each unique and breathtaking in its own way. But none can quite compare to Saint Petersburg. Founded by Peter the Great and named in his honor, the city has seen many functions throughout the years. It was a retreat of the Tsar and his family during Russia's imperial years, and all grand imperial residences are still available to tour. Saint Petersburg is a very young city compared to old European capitals and, probably, the only city in the world that has acquired so much historic significance in such a short time. It was founded in 1703 as an outlet to the sea, which was very important for Russia's future development from both strategic and economical points of view.The tour starts from your hotel. You will get acquainted with all city's major highlights: the Winter Palace, former residence of the Russian tsars, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Spilled Blood church, Kazan cathedral, the Admiralty. The guide will take you down Nevsky Prospect, main street of St. Petersburg. You will see the main squares and architectural ensembles of the city, beautiful bridges and Neva river embankments. Your guide will show you our legendary Cruiser Aurora, Log cabin of Peter the Great, University, Point of Vasilievsky island, Egyptian Sphinxes, Menshikov and Yusupov palaces, monuments to Peter the First and Catherine the Second. At the most beautiful places the guide will offer you to make a stop for taking photos.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">During the guided city tour of Moscow visit the Red Squarewhich is a dramatic open cobbled space in the centre of Moscow and now turned into a memorial cemetery and constructed Lenin Mausoleum on one side and Resurrection Gate and chapel on the other.</span>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">During this sightseeing tour, you will have a chance to visit Moscow's most famous landmarks and immerse yourself into the atmosphere of glorious past as you are strolling among the stunning buildings designed and raised centuries ago.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">St. Petersburg's most popular visitor attraction, and one of the world's largest and most prestigious museums, the Hermitage is a must-see for all first-time travellers to the city. With over 3 million items in its collection, it also definitely rewards repeat visits, and new-comers can only hope to get a brief taste of the riches on offer here, from Impressionist masterpieces to fascinating Oriental treasures. One estimate has it that you would need eleven years to view each exhibit on display for just one minute, so many visitors prefer to organize a guided tour to ensure they have time to catch all the collection's highlights. Art aficionados, however, may find it more rewarding to seek out for themselves the works that they are particularly interested in.</span>

Housing a cathedral where the Romanovs are buried, a former prison and various exhibitions, this large defensive fortress on Zayachy Island is the kernel from which St Petersburg grew into the city it is today. History buffs will love it and everyone will swoon at the panoramic views from atop the fortress walls, at the foot of which lies a sandy riverside beach, a prime spot for sunbathing.

<div>Muscovites believe that this underground system is the best in the world. It is by far the fastest, most popular and most convenient public transport in Moscow that looks like an extravagant museum. See jaw-dropping frescoes, sculptures and chandeliers.</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Discover an art museum in locations commuters pass through every single day! Ride the train to Mayakovskaya Metro Station, where Stalin kept a special refuge during World War II. Admire the décor of Belorusskaya Metro Station, where each of the marble mosaics tells its own history. Take a look at the stained glass windows of Novoslobodskaya Metro Station, and see the mosaic of Pável Korin entitled “Peace Throughout the World.” Learn more about the symbolism of the USSR.</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Stop at Kievskaya Metro Station, named in honor of Ukraine, and find various mosaics that tell moments of history and the highlights of the story between Russia and Ukraine. Stumble upon a museum of bronze statues at Ploshchad Revolyutsii Metro Station, each more beautiful than the last. Experience a showcase of the creativity of Russian artists and get closer to Russian superstitions.</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Visit Komsomolskaya Metro Station, one of the largest and most ostentatious stations on the Moscow Metro system. Learn the history of Moscow and its role in Russian history through its underground art.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">Arbat Street which is a pedestrian street of about one kilometre long in the historical centre of Moscow.</span>

Enjoy a midnight cruise around St Petersburg and see the city’s drawbridges rise – an event that happens each night. As you glide around the elegant canals, admire St Petersburg’s illuminated attractions reflecting on the romantic Neva River. Look out for top city sights like Mikhailovsky Castle, Peter and Paul Fortress and Vasilyevsky Island; pass underneath Trinity Bridge; and learn all about the city from the onboard guide.

One of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as &quot;the Russian Versailles&quot;, although many visitors conclude that the comparison does a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this majestic estate.

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">One of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as &quot;the Russian Versailles&quot;, although many visitors conclude that the comparison does a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this majestic estate.</span>

<div style="text-align: justify; ">150 fountains decorate the park within an area of 102,5 hectares. Including the trick fountains: the "Little Oak", the "Umbrella", "Little firs", the "Water road" and "Benches", which are the most popular fountains among children and adults.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fountains plumbing scheme was completed between 1721 and 1722. Peter the Great together with the first hydraulics engineer in Russia, Vasily Tuvolkov, developed this system. It is an outstanding achievement of the 18th century technology. About 14 miles of ducts and piping were constructed. Water for the fountains was flowing under its own pressure without the aid of any pumps</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main idea behind most of the decorations in the park is memorizing Russian victory over the Swedes in 1721, ensuring the outlet to the Baltic Sea for our country. The coast of the Gulf of Finland was irrigated and fertilized to lay out the formal French garden here. The proximity to the Gulf of Finland coast was the most important idea for Peter – the possession of that coast was the main achievement of the Northern war.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Today the number of fountains in Peterhof is over 150, and all of them are playing according to the principle of communicating vessels. Each fountain has its own unique design.The overall area of the park is about 250 acres.</div>

<div>Excellent.... the word which can be used for your arrangements.</div>
<div>To be very frank, I haven't expected such a nice services from you at the time of booking the tour but your confidence to provide the best has led me to book this trip with you and you have really proved it.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Not a single time we had to wait for anything, though the full trip has been shared by three different suppliers, all have performed the best work. Not a single minute waiting for a driver. They are always 10 minutes early then the scheduled time.</div>
<div>Talking about driver cum guides they always behaved as if we are their friends or relatives, they haven't looked at itinerary or timing. Just tried to provide best to the extend they can. Even small-small things has been taken care by them. Even purchasing of local sim, water, food etc was been taken care very nicely. All the guides are well experienced and they really know their work and duty. All of them posses a good amount of knowledge of their particular area. And the best part what we noticed is they are always updated and most of the time we saw them reading books to improve their services. April (Joburg) was reading the book of History, Chrish (Kruger) was reading nooks of wild life, Pierre (Garden rout) himself is a professor and always keep on enhancing his knowledge. I have always saw them passionate to give us best service and have never worked just to finish the itinerary.</div>
<div>The best guide we have ever met is Pierre. The way he has managed our trip, no one would have done it. He always had information for weather forecast and accordingly he planned our itinerary to cover all the attractions. The best part was Table mountain, if he has not planned it, we would have surely missed that. You really need such kind of guides in your contract.&nbsp;</div>
<div>And the most important thing which I have never expected (sorry for this) is your messages on daily basis for schedule, places to cover, and guidance of the attractions and restaurants. If you would have not suggested, we would have missed out some of the important attractions in our tour which are must do things. A big Thanks for this.....&nbsp;</div>
<div>I had just tried your services for this tour and now I would say, you would be our first preference for all the future trips. I can trust on you blindly....</div>

Mr. Harsh shah

I can trust on you blindly.......

<div>This is regard to feed back about my Singapore tour on Dec-2018.</div>
<div>First of all Thanks to Team Flamingo for making my trip joyful.</div>
<div>Hotel: Hotel was very nice and comfortable room arrangement as i got twin room which is more spacious then 2 BHK. Location is very near to little India and all Indian food items available within one KM range. I recommend this Hotel apartment for Family of Four and above.</div>
<div>Transportation: Pick up and drop timing maintained through out Tour. All drivers were cooperative and polite.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Local agent: Local agent is responsive and all vouchers and tickets were perfect.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Cruise: Cruise was fantastic, food was good and other area was impressive except there is to much rush at restaurant and mesh up for siting. Check in and boarding process is to long due to 3500 passengers. It took 5 hours to board my room and that was hectic time. I recommend minimum 3 nights cruise.</div>
<div>SENTOSA is joyful area and I have 20 admission per person which is more then enough as we can enjoy all type off rides. Enjoyed 3D/4D shows, Madam tusade museum, SEA, wings of time, sky tower, beach area, mono rail, two cable car.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Bicycle Tour: Fully enjoyed bicycle tour with guide and i am recommending this tour as on bi cycle covered most at marina bay area and it is fantastic to roam on bi cycle at this area. There was little bit confusion over location of starting point as driver dont know location and he has dropped 3 KM away but I have managed with support of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Maitri</span>. Thanks to Maitri...</div>
<div>City Tour: City tour with flyer enjoyed with experienced guide. Need more then 4 hours for city tour with flyer. Evening enjoyed flower dome, cloud forest and MBS park.&nbsp;</div>
<div>Jurong bird park was good but very short time for bird lovers. Night safari not enjoyed as nothing to see in dark nights and very limited animals available in this area and also too late. I am not recommending this tour. I thing Zoo is better then this as in day light we can see all animals clearly.</div>
