Dear List: Russian German Heritage Tours is again offering a tour to the Russian German ancestral villages in the Volga River Region May 10 - 24, 2007. The price of this tour is $5200.00 per person portal to portal New York and the itinerary is the same one we have been perfecting and refining since 1993. This itinerary has become very popular with travelers and I am convinced no finer village travel itinerary has ever been assembled. We will spend a total of six days in Saratov with two days designated for village travel and four days for visits to German historical points of interest and other activities. We will also spend one and one half days in Moscow, two and one half days in St. Petersburg and one and one half days in Volgograd. We do everything we can find that is Russian German in all the cities we visit; however, on this tour we will place a special emphasis on the 1941 deportation of the Volga Germans. On two occasions we will visit with people who were in the deportation and we will see the 70,000 cards which record the 380,000 Volga German that were deported. Given the huge past success of this itinerary and the current cost structure in Russia, we feel this tour still offers an excellent travel value for anyone who wants to see their ancestral villages and experience their Russian German heritage. If you would like to join us on this tour, please send me an email with your name, address, phone number and the villages you wish to visit. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by phone or email. I hope you will be traveling with us.
