The trip was just as outlined in the SmarTour’s itinerary. The guides on our Russian trip were excellent. Unfortunately most of us on the tour got a Norwalk ( or similar) virus on the ship. The crew and SmarTours guide did everything they could, including providing Dr. Services and needed medications, however, I personally was very ill for 4 days and could not eat for 6 days. The problem was on the ship as most people fell ill. I Consequently missed some stops and activities. I expected SmarTours to contact us regarding this and do think that some kind of compensation would be in order.
