Great holiday to St. Petersburg & Moscow We had an amazing 9 day trip to SPB & Moscow, and highly recommend AFC Holidays Dubai, who made all our arrangements and ensured we had a good vacation. We suggest to research hotels to suit your requirements as we did - We requested to change the hotel in SPB and AFC promptly suggested alternatives for us to choose from. The local tours/attractions suggested along with the English speaking tour guides & drivers were spot-on, which is very essential in Russia. AFC has the right partner - TRWL in Russia (Ms. Alyona & Ms. Anastasia) who were super helpful & even arranged to carry one of our items left behind there, back to Dubai. Thank you AFC Holidays Dubai, we will certainly travel with you again!

Lets Go Russia !!! We, a group of 4 had a wow experience with AFC Holidays during our recent trip to Moscow - Russia on Aug 3rd. The entire trip was very well organized along with excellent cuisines and city tours. They were also particular on the timings, so as to cover the maximum tourist destinations. This is our second trip with AFC, after our foremost trip to Georgia. I have already recommended AFC to two of my colleagues, who also had nice experience with AFC on their tours to Serbia and Europe. Appreciate the work ! Hope they will continue to do the same work ahead.
