Rushin’ around Russia

SCANDANAVIAN specialists Bentours recently escorted a group of six Aussie agents plus reps from Finnair and Helloworld on a nine-day famil to Russia, where they sampled the delights of Moscow and St Petersburg.

Highlights of the trip included marvelling at the Stalininfluenced architecture in Moscow, a visit to a 15th Century fortress, the homes of Russian Tsars and Presidents, as well as the chance to view the collections on display at the Hermitage in St Petersburg, one of the largest art galleries in the world.

The tour wrapped up in St Petersburg with a traditional Russian music and dance folk show at the Nikolaevsky Palace.

Pictured above are the six lucky agents with Finnair and Helloworld representatives enjoying the sights and sounds of Russia.
