The situation with foreign languages In Russia can vary depending on the region. In major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, many people, especially younger generations speak English quite well and most of the signs and information in tourist areas are available in English.
As well, all hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions have English speakers, so you can easily get help in case you need it.
However, outside of these big cities, English proficiency tends to decrease. In smaller towns and rural areas, you may meet people who speak little or no English. But no worries, our English (not only) speaking guides and dedicated office managers will always be at your disposal and ready to support you at any moment.
