How much time do you get from our Expert?

Our expert consultant will spend up to four hours working on your requirements. This is normally enough for a very detailed Personalized Travel Plan to be created. It covers unlimited back and forth e-mails, up to 3 fine tunings, and up to 2 hours of calls.

So what will you actually get?

You will receive a Personalized Travel Plan that is a well-written, carefully designed travel guide and itinerary. It will include detailed, relevant and entertaining information about places of interest, hotels, activities, local contacts and precise transportation options. Our unique differentiator is that we customize a travel plan according to your personal needs and requirements, and send it you as a PDF file.

Why use us?

RussiaWeknow.com is a service that provides intelligence to make your independent trip better.

No need to check opening times, study sights, search for hotels or transportation options. Tell us as much as you can about your planned trip – activities, destinations, preferences, number of people travelling, etc. and RussiaWeknow will create an original guide that serves as the passport to your destinations, written by experts with local knowledge.

We are travel consultants, not a travel agency, so you don’t need to book your trip through us. Our main product is our knowledge based on our own experience and information we gather working on Russia online travel guide (AkuAku.ru). Our goal is not to sell you a packaged trip, but to help you plan and organize a unique journey based on your interests and budget. However, if you prefer to have us do your booking, we can quote a competitively priced package through one of our associated travel agencies.
