Well, we completed yet another Western-European holiday last week. I've never been anywhere but Western Europe and of course there's loads still to see there, but we've more or less decided on Russia for next May... for various reasons: SWMBO speaks Russian, we're both interested in Russian cultural and social history and my course at uni will include some stuff on Russian music. Our aim would be to see some of the sights in predictable places like St Petersburg and Moscow and elsewhere and maybe some areas of natural beauty.
If it had been Western Europe, I'd do my homework, decide where to stay and trawl the internet for the best hotel deal, book the flights and the car hire and just go. But something tells me that might not be the brightest idea (all those YouTube videos of Russian driving, for a start).
So here's my question: is a guided tour the best way to see Russia, or some of it? Care to share any experiences?
