Van der Tour (Ван дер Тур)

The tour to Petersburg is well organized. The bus is comfortable, rugs, pillows. Accompanying kind. But they were not allowed to use the refrigerator and there was not enough boiling water for coffee and tea. For 36 hours in the bus it is very difficult to withstand, it’s good that the air conditioning and cinema. The main minus is the price. The other two operators that bring to Russia have a Chocolate Tour (from Kiev, though the tourist tax with the Hermitage is 800 rubles or 12 dollars) and i-travel.com.ua are 100-150 dollars cheaper, i.e. 25-30 percent. And the tours are almost the same. In addition, the rate is simply predatory: on the book you could buy a dollar for 26, and the agency charged 28. We also didn’t go through Belarus, it would save 6 hours and other operators would carry it.

Very patient people work here. They answered all the questions, not even asked. Special thanks to the operator Aloni.

Drive to Sact-Petersburg. Thank you! We were satisfied with everything! The city itself, this is understandable, stuns with its beauty, it is beautiful. All the services of the tufa company corresponded to those stated. I liked the hotel, clean, new, good value for money. The location is excellent (center): within walking distance of the Blagoveshchensky Bridge, Nevsky Prospect, around the corner the Mariinsky Theater. Also near the hotel there is an excellent transport interchange. All excursions were interesting and informative. Special thanks to the local guide Natalia. He presents information very competently, interestingly and captivatingly. We were very satisfied! Recommend!

I’ve been traveling on bus tours for twelve years, this time we just decided to get to St. Petersburg and go back with Van Der Tyr, we were glad that it was possible. We paid only a round trip. Very attentive and caring tour operator Alena helped organize the trip so that we left with one group and returned with the other. I wanted to enjoy St. Petersburg longer. We left perfectly, moving was easy, quick and we arrived in St. Petersburg earlier than we thought. For which many thanks to the head of Frost Maria and the bus drivers. We tried to stop at the sanitary stops and rather go, without delaying for a long time. In order to keep the bus clean, everyone was always given garbage bags, so they ate while driving and saved a lot of time on this. Svetlana Sverdlova, the head of the group, returned to Odessa in two weeks, with another group. There are no words to express all my indignation - stopping for 40 minutes, for an hour - because it’s strictly forbidden to eat on the bus by the driver Kolya (VN 0076IM) Tourists traveling by bus they always know that food should be taken without a pungent odor, that food should be eaten carefully. However, there was a complete nonsense - the cops would stop and fine ... People with food waited for the stop, fled to the toilet (the stops were picked up from the cafe, but with one booth for men andwomen) - queues for half an hour, and then still tried to eat. As a result, we arrived in Odessa at 4 a.m. and this is not because they crossed the border for a long time. Drivers husked seeds all the way, it’s probably not rubbish, they can, I hold the steering wheel with one hand, I eat it with the other ... This is a disgrace ... Why am I writing this - when going on such a long journey, be prepared for the fact that the comfort of the bus may be limited films, plaids and air conditioning, but you won’t be able to eat normally and have a cup of coffee during the trip. Pleasant impressions from St. Petersburg will surpass all negative impressions of the road, but I would like Van Der Tyr to choose drivers more carefully, then bus tours would be act at altitude.

Great service. Good customer service. All quickly and efficiently.
