About Andrea Godfrey

Andrea was a Tours Manager for the Baltic States and Russia for many years at Regent starting back in 1995. As a Russian and Soviet Studies graduate, she has always been intrigued and fascinated by this vast country and discovers something new on every visit back. One of her favourite tours is the Great Siberian Sayan Ring and hopes that our clients include a visit to Siberia or at least another town or city other than Moscow or St Petersburg. She believes that being in the wide open space of the tundra, picnicking beside Russian birch trees and visiting provincial towns is to experience the real Russia. One of her most memorable trips was a wonderful journey of a life-time along the Trans-Siberian with her family and she has plenty of handy tips and advice to offer, including the obvious ones such as don't try and keep up with the Russians when vodka drinking!!

In 2008 she led our successful solar eclipse tour to Russia and in 2009, she led our inaugural tour to Kosovo, Europe's newest country and was overwhelmed by the generous hospitality of the local people and the waist-expanding meals that she enjoyed there! She took short trips to Moscow and Budapest in 2010 and led our small escorted group tour to Turkmenistan in April 2011 - a new country for Andrea, which she found fascinating.

Andrea has lived in Russia and Ukraine and speaks Russian, although she admits her Russian is getting a little rusty so has headed back to night classes to improve it!
