Since 2003 we have considerably expanded our destinations coverage, and now we operate in 13 baltic ports along with other seven in-land destinations in Russia and Scandinavia. We carefully selected guides in these cities and interviewed them to make sure they match our 'Great Guide' criteria - they are knowledgeable professionals and fun personalities to be around!
