I'm looking for a fully escorted tour, one in which all day excursions are included and guided. I would be going alone and want to be in the company of other English speaking people with a guide.

Hi Fran<BR>I would definitely recommend Explore Worldwide. I went for a 2 week tour with them in July. We had an English guide in every place we stayed and one that stayed with us on the Golden Ring as well as specialist guides at the stops, The group consisted of UK, Irish, Australian, New Zealander and American nationalities. Our group was 22, 10 couples, 7 lone females and 5 lone males from late 20's to late 50's all of a similar outlook on travel and it was great fun. The group leader Paul Holdstock was wonderful and had so much knowledge and that really enhanced the experience. Majority of trips are included and you have options as well, (I would recommend Petrodvorets/Peterhof). Also with Explore you don't have to pay a single supplement (if you don't want to). Check out their website exploreworldwide.com Have a good trip
