The departure and arrival times of the train to Moscow are very convenient. The travel format of 'sleeping and traveling at night, active отдых during the day' is fantastic! Special thanks to the attendants of carriage 31, Irina and Igor, for their involvement and ensuring our comfort! We will definitely go again, and this time we'll consider other tours. This was our first experience traveling to Karelia with RZD.
I was driving and listening to the radio when I learned about this trip, and we had a great time! I went with my lady of the heart, and she also enjoyed it. I'd like to mention Elena, the attendant of carriage 32, who is a wonderful person, always ready to help and provide information, definitely a 5-star rating. Also, I'd like to express my appreciation to Peter for organizing the bathhouse experience! Wishing everyone pleasant travels!
I want to express my gratitude to the attendant of carriage 32, Elena, for being incredibly attentive and responsive! The carriage was always clean, tidy, and the coffee was delicious! Elena is a conductor who left such a pleasant impression of RZD that I want to go somewhere again! Many thanks for the trip, service, and hospitality!
