Ich habe meine Transfers vom Flughafen zum Hafen in St.Petersburg und vom Hafen zum Airport in Moskau über Natalia Zolotareva gebucht. Der Kontakt war hervorragend. Die Transfers wurden pünktlich und zu voller Zufriedenheit durchgeführt. Vielen Dank an Natalia und Ihre Fahrer.

Nun liegt unsere Reise nach St. Petersburg schon 6 Wochen zurück und immer noch bekomme ich von meinen Mitreisenden die positiven Rückmeldungen an dieses wunderbare Erlebnis. Ich von meiner Seite bin ganz besonders begeistert über die perfekte Führung nach Pushkin und Pawlovsk durch unsere Führerin Natalia. Dieser Tag war besonders eindrucksvoll. Bestens haben auch die Organisation zum Theater, den Tickets und die notwendigen Transfers funktioniert, was sicherlich auch mit der sehr kompetenten Betreuung durch Frau Natalia (Manager: Ostwest.com) zusammenhängt. Ich kann dieses Büro in St. Petersburg nur weiterempfehlen.
First of all I'd like to say thanks for the perfect organisation of our program.
Our first day in Pushkin, especially the lunch and the folklore was enjoed very much by my friends. The tour guide you have choosen for us - Natalia - was very well prepared and informed us about everything we wanted to know, besides her perfectly spoken German and her guiding through the palaces and parks. Definitely, she did a very well job! If possible, say hello to here. Thank you.
The buses to and from the theater also were very suitable and always in time - as well as the bus to Pushkin!
Actually, we spent a very nice time in St. Petersburg and whenever I have again the possibillity to organise a similar trip, I hope I can contact you again.
Yours sincerely,

General City Information
Mooring zone in Petrozavodsk
Like many other cities in Russia Petrozavodsk was founded by Peter the Great. Initially, the factory was built on his orders in 1703. The site was founded on the bank of Onega Lake somewhat 420 km North-East from St. Petersburg in the delta of the rivers Lososinka and Neglinka. A settlement called Petrovskaya was built. In 1777 it became a town with the name Petrozavodsk.
Today it is the capital of the Republic of Karelia. It’s an administrative, scientific, cultural, and tourist center of the region. It easily reached from St. Petersburg by night train. The town is a lovely place with approximately 280.000 inhabitants. This is about as much as 35% of the whole Karelian population!
Beauties of nature in Petrozavodsk
The most popular meeting place for the Karelians and an attraction for the tourists is the Onega quay, which became an open-air museum. There you can see the sculptures, which were given to the town by its seven partner cities. It takes only 1.5 hours by wing boat to reach Kishi—the famous island. From the end of May to the end of September the wing boats are departing daily. The island, which is a monument to Russian timber architecture, doesn’t have any motor traffic. A visit to Kishi is one of the most exciting day trips one might make from Petrozavodsk. There you will witness traditional life set amongst timber buildings of the 18th century.
A view of Petrozavodsk
Karelia is known for its picturesque settings and its healing waters. The first spa in Russia was “Marzianbad” built as far back as the 18th century. The second well-known resort is Kivatsh. It is only 60 km away from Petrozavodsk. It is a health center and a national park.
