Pat ShumanMy aunt and I were on a tour of Russia but we had extra time to schedule as we pleased. We had heard about Sergiev Posad and Abramtsevo. We found Arthur on the Internet and scheduled with him to go to those places when we had a free day.
Arthur planned our day beautifully. He met us exactly when he said he would. He had arranged for local guides in both places and we were delighted with them. Not only is he a great driver/guide, but Arthur is a fun person with whom to spend a day. We were totally pleased with the way he took care of us and when I return to Russia I will definitely seek him out.
