TRAVELLER SUPPORT
General advice
You are most welcomed to discuss your Russian travel ideas with me. Please be aware that my favourite lines are "don't overplan" and "leave some leeway". Being poor yet attached to creature comforts I can often issue good advise on how to move around this part of the planet inexpensively and comfortably.
General advice is given free of charge.
I invite you to post questions of general interest on my board.
Trip planning See also Individual tours >>
Tickets
In theory you can reserve railroad tickets though the Russian Railroads site. If you are lazy, however, it may be easier to get me to buy your tickets. All I need is your names in Russian as spelled on your visas and your visa and your passport number.
Invitations
Tourist invitations are available though me at $80 for an e-mailed copy. Disclaimer: lots of agencies do that for less. But you may very well end up having to call them to prod them into action which will eat up any savings. I can easily arrange only tourist invitations to citizens of "western" countries. In other cases write to me anyway as I may be able to send you to an appropriate service provider.
Registrations can also be done to my residential address at the cost of $50/each to cover direct expenses, extra utilities I will be charged for your registration to my property, and my assistant's time to register and un-register you.
