Nizhny Novgorod

We were very impressed with the plan that we put together. Dealing with website staff was easy. Overall I was happy that we got a good deal. I have recommended your website to a number of others so far and will be using it again myself for a future trip.

I found the process really easy. Simple layout and lots of options. It was helpful to see the route, allowing me to choose towns better ensuring that the journey would not take us out of our way. Four of our hotels where within easy walking distance of the city center. The hotels were very easy to find with the use of your paperwork and a sat nav. All in all it was a fantastic holiday visiting five countries in ten days. Five different cultures and five different experiences. I am happy to recommend all the hotels we stayed in.
