Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

The Golf Monthly test team brings you its Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

While you can pick lasers up for half the price of this, it is an outstanding performer. It is compact while also managing to pick up the flag quickly and easily. JOLT technology is a fantastic addition, speeding up the process and offering reassurance that you have found the flag. The shape and feel of the unit is clearly well thought out and the compact design means it fits into small pockets in the golf bag with ease. The red numbers and target show up very clearly and the laser works well even in foggy and very bright conditions.

This ticks pretty much every box in the laser category. The viewfinder is incredibly clear and picks up the flag with ease, even from long distances. JOLT technology is a brilliant addition, giving you reassurance that you have found the closest object to you (usually the flag). The information is displayed almost immediately after pressing the power button. The technology is packed into a compact unit that feels great in the hand. Not that many will need it, but from 125 yards and in distance is displayed to 1/10th of a yard.

The price is considerably higher than other lasers. Some will prefer the feel of the larger units on the market, such as the Tour v3 JOLT.

Key technology: Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

Another laser device that utilises the Bushnell JOLT technology, which means the unit vibrates when you find the closest target. The Tour Z6 model also includes Vivid Display Technology, which makes it easier to pick up the flag in less-than-perfect conditions. It offers 6 x magnification and can pick up distances up to 1,300 yards away and hone in on a flag up to 450 yards away.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Review

Bushnell tour z6 jolt laser rangefinder review.

Vivid Display Technology improves contrast and clarity of information. The advertised range is from 5 to 1,300 yards with 450 yards to the flag and one-half yard accuracy to the first 125 yards. The unit is also fully waterproof, offers 6x magnification and is legal for tournament use.

• JOLT Technology:  This updated model comes with the addition of JOLT technology that provides bursts of vibration once the device locks on to a target.
• Vivid Display: The display offers red crosshairs that are easier to see as compared to black ones.
• Firing Button: The button used to fire the laser can be difficult to engage as it requires a very firm press.
• Limited Scanning Mode: The Tour Z6 offers only limited ability to pan across landscapes while receiving updated distance information.

Ease of Use

The Tour Z6 JOLT is vertically-oriented and held within a rubber exterior for easier gripping. The unit weighs 7.9 ounces alone and 11.6 ounces when used with the carrying pouch that is included.

The display is clear and simple to read and features a tint to reduce glare, and it also offers an exceptionally wide field of view. There are two buttons on the device.

The red button on top turns the device on and fires the laser. On the left side of the device is located the mode button that allows the user to access the system menu. In order to engage the power button, it takes much effort and must be firmly pressed.

This is inconvenient as it must be pressed twice in order to receive distance readings. PinSeeker mode is constantly on, preventing the use of automatic scanning found in earlier Bushnell models.

Once the device locks on the user cannot scan to a separate far target and receive an updated distance, making it difficult to determine distances to multiple targets for specific shots.

The Tour Z6 JOLT offers Vivid Display Technology that provides distances in red instead of black, making them easier to read against dark backgrounds.

There are also four varieties of brightness available. PinSeeker mode is used to identify the closest object within the crosshairs while disregarding background objects that may be larger or give off stronger signals, such as trees.

The laser can be fired continuously for 4 to 8 seconds, and when the button is released the distance will continue to be displayed for 8 seconds. The unit is fully waterproof and features a rain-guard coating to assist the lens in avoiding water stains.

The display shows the distance continuously, without blinking like some units. Bushnell claims that at less than 125 yards the unit can show distances down to one-tenth of a yard. In reality the device can do so at some times and fails to do so at others.

Obtaining Readings

The company claims that the Tour Z6 JOLT has a range of 5 to 1,300 yards with the ability to acquire flags at up to 450 yards in prime conditions.

The device actually tends to pick up more reflective targets behind the flagstick until PinSeeker actually kicks in, then the device continues to update the distance as the firing button is held down while locking on to the target.

The best method to avoid the initial problem is aiming at the flag instead of the stick, or aiming at the base of the flagstick. Once the distance exceeds 200 yards the device becomes less and less accurate.

The Tour V6 JOLT can be purchased for nearly $400, making it average for standard laser rangefinders. Luckily, it has the features necessary to compete with many competing models in its class.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Golf Laser Rangefinder Review

Bushnell Tour Z6 Laser Rangefinder with Pinseeker + Jolt

I’ve had a Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt laser rangefinder in the bag for a while now.  The Tour Z6 Jolt is a small golf laser rangefinder which has some very nice features, the most useful and obvious is providing yardages to the golfer.  Armed with exact yardages to the pin, to the lip of bunkers which need to be carried, to trees, to hazards, the golfer can confidently pick the right club and right swing for the shot.

The key feature of a laser rangefinder is to give the golfer a yardage to the pin.  The “Pinseeker” component of the Bushnell Tour Z6 is designed to easily lock onto flagsticks quickly and accurately, delivering that yardage fast and dependably.

The unit is capable of delivering yardages from five to 1,300 yards.  Nice to be able to get a yardage to the pin on a 1,300 yard hole for you big hitters.

When the unit is fairly sure it has locked in on a flagstick, it vibrates or produces a “jolt” which gives physical feedback to the user.  Thus the “jolt” name.

The numbers, crosshairs, and other on screen display items are shown in a very vibrant glowing red.  That glowing red is much easier to read than lasers with black numbers.

The focus adjustable viewfinder magnifies the viewing area by 6x, making the flag or other items the user is shooting very easy to see.  Since the focus is adjustable, the viewfinder can be tweaked for those who need prescription glasses or contacts.

The case and housing are very sharp looking.  The skeleton of the unit is covered in very tough and durable rubber, which is also waterproof.  Great for those rounds in Scotland, Florida, or the northwest USA.

On The Course

I like the small footprint of this particular laser.  It easily fits in pockets on the golf bag.  It is not heavy or cumbersome.  The included case hangs nicely on a towel loop or other place on the bag for easy access.

For the most part the yardages are acquired quickly and accurately.   The jolt feature is a nice addition, giving confidence that the unit is locked in on the flagstick and not the trees behind the green.

I really dig the red display characters and crosshairs.  They look so much better than the standard black/gray LCD type display characters.  The numbers are easy to read.

I wear prescription glasses on the course.  Because of how they are working, I need an adjustable diopter to do a custom focus for my eyes.  That way I don’t have to take off my glasses to see what’s in the laser’s display area.  The adjustment works great and saves me the inconvenience of having to remove my glasses to use the unit.

Above I mentioned that “for the most part” the yardages are quick and accurate.  I have found on occasion that the yardages can sometimes vary by as much as two yards.  One time I may shoot a pin at 150 and the next two confirmation shots could be 151 or 149.  I’m not necessarily good enough to worry about the difference between 149 to 151, but it may bring into question whether or not the yardage is accurate.

I typically prefer lasers over golf GPS units.  The only time a GPS is better is when hitting over trees or objects which block the laser’s line of sight, which is not often.

New drivers can cost $500 and up.  But they can’t help you with as much of your game as knowing exact yardages to the pin and all sorts of other targets on the course.  The roughly $400 investment for this unit is steep, but will be used far more times in a golf round than 14, the typical number of times a driver is hit.

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt is a solid golf laser rangefinder and it is my new gamer.  I love the feel of the unit in both tactile terms and the jolt feature.  The red display is awesome.  I can use it in the rain, which I play plenty of rounds in.

The only thing better than a Scottish caddie is… a Scottish caddie.  When I can’t use a Scottish caddie, I use the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt golf laser rangefinder!

What we say...

Technology PinSeeker with JOLT Tech. Accurate to half-a-yard; Vivid Display Tech for all lighting conditions; 6x Mag; Waterproof; weighs 226g.

Related: Best rangefinder

Tested As reviewed in our 2014 Distance Devices Test :  Felt comfortable in your hand; the size was more appealing than the X7 Pro. Like the addition of the reassuring JOLT to tell you the flag has been located. Having accuracy to the nearest 0.1 yard seems unnecessary for most amateur golfers. Like the textured surface for extra grip. Love the JOLT function as well as the stylish case. A little boxy in shape, but Bushnell seems to have addressed the ‘stiff button’ issues we experienced last year. Plus the addition of the JOLT function enhances the user experience. Like having the battery meter on display, too.

5 out of 5 Bushnell V6 jolt 14 June 2015

By KGC Captain

Great device. Fits comfortably in your hand, it is very accurate and generally locating the flags come up with consistent readings. The battery appears to be strong, I've had mine for about 9 months and battery still showing that it has plenty power. Case and clip protect it and allow it to be handily clipped to your bag. Would say it is good to have a general idea of the yardage you are expecting to make sure you are not picking up background objects but the jolt feature does help confirm things. Very pleased with mine and it was under £300 when I bought it.

4 out of 5 Worth the extra 13 October 2014

Tried the other laser rangefinders at the store. This one might look boxy but fitted perfectly in my hand. Got a good price on it and took it straight to the course. Easy to use, distance reading very fast, down to 1/10 yard! maybe a little too accurate for my handicap. The jolt technology works well. Useful carry case but slight fiddly to remove rangefinder from it and the replace. You can buy a cartholder for it. Keep looking for reasons to use it. Really pleased with the purchase.

Best Golf Rangefinders for 2023

• Author: Paul Liberatore

Paul Liberatore is the founder of Golfers Authority , which reviews the world's best golf products and gear.

If there’s a sport that’s constantly changing due to rapid improvements in technology, it’s golf. That’s the case for everything from the clubs and balls you play with, to how you learn and improve .

Another area is how you go about measuring distances. After all, if you’re going to play your best, it’s essential you know precisely how far you have to the target. And that’s where rangefinders come in.

I remember my first rangefinder: it was the Bushnell 1500 and it resembled something like the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek . That was in the early 2000s and like everything else, rangefinders have evolved since then.

In fact, there are so many different options that making the right choice for your game can seem overwhelming. If you’re looking for a new rangefinder but aren’t sure where to start, you’re in luck. I’ve spent the better part of 2023 testing all the new rangefinders and thinking about all the things golfers should consider when deciding on the best one for them.

Keep reading to find out everything you need to know.

What You Should Look for in a Rangefinder

Like any piece of golf equipment you buy, you need to know exactly what you’re getting into before you pull the trigger. A rangefinder’s most important function is accuracy. Believe it or not, there are rangefinders out there that are a lot more accurate than others. That’s why I’m a huge proponent of doing some of your own research before making a buying decision. Spend some time reading user reviews on the Internet, ask your friends what they think of a particular rangefinder, and of course, try it out for yourself if you can.

Unless you have an unlimited budget, price is going to play a significant role in determining what rangefinder best suits you. Prices can vary from just a few dollars all the way up to hundreds. So, be mindful of how much money you can afford to spend and make your decision accordingly.

Performance is another key factor to consider when you’re buying a new rangefinder. Just like accuracy, there are some rangefinders that function a lot more consistently than others. Here again, I recommend doing some of your own research to find out what other golfers’ experiences have been with a particular rangefinder. Are they having to constantly send them back to the manufacturer because of malfunctions or defects? Or are there very few performance issues that seem to come up?

Next, you’ll want to consider the features the rangefinder you’re thinking about buying has to offer. If you’re a casual golfer who doesn’t want anything more than basic distances to a target, there are plenty of affordable options that will reliably give you the bare minimum. However, there are also many rangefinders that come with advanced features like “Plays Like” yardages that account for uphill and downhill slopes, built-in GPS features, the ability to track your stats, and much more. These rangefinders tend to be more expensive, but offer a lot more than the most basic, less expensive options.

As you comb through our list of the best rangefinders below, keep these factors in mind, and you’ll be able to make an informed decision.

Best Overall Golf Rangefinder: -  Bushnell Pro X3 Laser Rangefinder

Bushnell Pro X3 Laser Rangefinder

Out of all the rangefinders I tested, the Bushnell Pro X3 laser rangefinder performed the best and had the most to offer. Its predecessor, the Pro XE was great, but the Pro X3 has some additional features that set it apart.

The Bushnell Pro X3 is by the best golf rangefinder with slope . With the ability to get slope yardages that also take into account the elements of altitude and temperature, it is simply amazing. That’s right, you can manually enter the elevation and temperature you’re playing at on a particular day. This feature alone allows you to really hone in on precise yardages and pick the right club more consistently.

Other notable features of the Pro X3 include dual red and black display, and the ability to pair the rangefinder with the Bushnell Golf app for additional functions like 3D hole flyovers and wireless course updates.

If budget isn’t a huge deal for you, there’s no better rangefinder in 2023 than the Bushnell Pro X3 .

Most Advanced Rangefinder: -  Shot Scope Pro LX+ Laser Rangefinder

Shot Scope Pro LX+ Laser Rangefinder

This rangefinder combines not only yardage accurate down to a single yard through the scope, but it also has a built-in GPS. Not only can you shoot yardages to the target, you can also reference the GPS for front, middle, and back of green yardages, and measurements to hazards and landing areas. This device is like having a digital yardage book on every hole.

The GPS comes preloaded with more than 36,000 courses, so you’ll never have to worry about downloading a course before your round.

But that’s not all. The Pro LX+ also comes with 16 tracking tags that you attach to the end of your club. These allow you to track more than 100 key clubhead and ball flight metrics that you can access via the free golf app on your smart device.

In short, there isn’t much that the Shot Scope Pro LX+ can’t do, and that’s why it’s the clearcut choice as this year’s most high-tech rangefinder.

Best Rangefinder Under $300:  -  Precision Pro NX10 Slope Rangefinder

Precision Pro NX10 Slope Rangefinder

Precision Pro

Not only is the Precision Pro NX10 one of the most affordable rangefinders out there in 2023, it’s also the most customizable.

It’s the only rangefinder on the market that allows you to replace the skin whenever you feel like it. This feature is a big selling point for golfers that like to look the part and stand out from the crowd.

But it’s not all looks with the Precision Pro NX10 . It’s just as functional as the other rangefinders on our list too.

Target acquisition technology lets you know when you’ve locked in on the flag, eliminating the need to guess if you’re actually hitting your intended target.

It also has a slope feature that can be turned off during tournament play.

Best Rangefinder Under $200: -  Blue Tees S3 Max Rangefinder

Blue Tees S3 Max Rangefinder

Blue Tees hasn’t been around as long as companies like Bushnell, but they’ve quickly made a name for themselves as a company that produces top-notch rangefinders that are more affordable than some of the other premium brands.

New for 2023 is their S3 Max rangefinder. This rangefinder has a lot going for it both in terms of functionality and modernity.

Unlike other rangefinders whose displays can be difficult to read in poor light, the Blue Tees S3 Max’s auto ambient display feature automatically adjusts the color of the display to provide unmatched contrast and clarity in any lighting condition.

Advanced flag lock and pulse vibration gives you double confirmation when you’ve locked in on the flag.

While this rangefinder isn’t quite as advanced as the Bushnell Pro X3, it has all the features and functions you need, is reliable, and priced at a point most golfers can afford.

Best Rangefinder for the Price: -  Bushnell Tour V6 SHIFT Rangefinder

Bushnell Tour V6 SHIFT Rangefinder

Aside from accuracy, the quality of the optics is what I consider most when evaluating a rangefinder. And nothing impressed me more in this regard for 2023 than the Bushnell Tour V6 SHIFT Rangefinder.

With new and improved optics and electronics, the Tour V6 Shift is the longest ranging, most accurate rangefinder Bushnell has ever produced.

The slope technology in this rangefinder is so good, it’s trusted by 99% of PGA Tour Pros.

Compared to previous models, the Tour V6 SHIFT shows noticeable improvements in the Pinseeker visual jolt feature, a stronger magnetic mount, and hardier IPX6 weather resistant construction.

For a rangefinder that’s incredibly accurate, trusted by the game’s best players, and exceptionally reliable, don’t overlook the Bushnell Tour V6 SHIFT rangefinder.

Most Accurate Rangefinder: -  Nikon Coolshot Pro ll Stabilized Rangefinder

Nikon Coolshot Pro ll Stabilized Rangefinder

While the majority of the rangefinders on this list were fairly accurate, the Nikon Coolshot Proll Stabilized rangefinder was in a league of its. Over the course of three rounds, it was never off by more than half a yard. This was due in large part to how incredibly stable it was no matter if the wind was blowing, or if my hands were a little shaky.

On top of that, the display is crystal clear. We can thank Nikon’s HYPER Read technology, industry-leading OLED display, and 6x power monocular for that.

While Nikon might be best known for producing some of the finest cameras in the world, it should come as little surprise that the Coolshot Proll Stabilized rangefinder sits at the top of our list as the most accurate in 2023.

Most Popular Rangefinder: -  Callaway 200s Laser Rangefinder

Callaway 200s Laser Rangefinder

Not all golfers are looking for the latest and greatest when it comes to tech and features in rangefinders. In fact, a lot prefer something that’s easy to use, reliable, and gives them the basic information they need.

If this sounds like, the Callaway 200s rangefinder is your best bet for 2023.

This rangefinder gives you both gross and adjusted yardages, the latter of which accounts for uphill and downhill slopes.

Pin acquisition technology engages up to 275 yards, and the 200s has a total range of up to 800 yards.

I also like its lightweight, compact size. It weighs just 3.9 ounces and measures 3.74” by 2.8” by 1.57”.

Simple, easy to use, yet tremendously reliable, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Callaway 200s laser rangefinder.

Best Smart Rangefinder: -  Voice Caddie SL3 Hybrid Rangefinder

Voice Caddie SL3 Hybrid Rangefinder

Voice Caddie

Much like the Shot Scope Pro LX, the Voice Caddie SL3 is a rangefinder and GPS all in one.

The laser rangefinder acts just like any other and gives you both gross and slope yardage with a high degree of precision.

Where this rangefinder really stands out, however, is with the features that come with the GPS. To start, the touchscreen gives you a bird’s eye view of every hole and the ability to use your finger to pinpoint yardages to strategic points of interest.

Additionally, you can activate the green view feature to see each green’s undulations, use your finger to pinpoint the hole location, and even activate putt with distance and elevation measurements.

The smart green view even gives you colored topographic green maps so you can tell where the high and low points are.

I’ve never seen anything quite like the Voice Caddie SL3 rangefinder. It’s perfect for golfers that want to take into account every single piece of information and are comfortable using technology.

Best Rangefinder Under $150: -  Shot Scope Pro L2 Rangefinder

Shot Scope Pro L2 Rangefinder

Our second-best budget rangefinder is the Shot Scope Pro L2.

This rangefinder comes with 6x magnification so you can acquire your target quickly and see it clearly. It also has a range of up to 700 yards and it’s proven to be accurate to within a yard in the testing I’ve done.

Additional features include target-lock vibration, adaptive slope technology, a sturdy cart magnet, and protective carrying case.

Again, the Shot Scope Pro L2 isn’t the most high-tech rangefinder out there, but it more than serves its purpose.

Best Rangefinder Under $100: -  Gogogo Sport Vpro Laser Rangefinder

Gogogo Sport Vpro Laser Rangefinder

There’s no doubt about it, golf isn’t cheap. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be played on a budget.

For golfers who want the benefits of a rangefinder while spending as little as possible, the Gogogo Sport Vpro rangefinder is worth considering.

This rangefinder has all the barebones functions including slope distance technology, flag locking vibration, a range of up to 650 yards, and fully coated optics that help optimize light conditions.

Even though this rangefinder is relatively inexpensive, making it one of the best golf rangefinders for the money who want something they can rely on.

Editor’s Choice:  -  Garmin Approach Z82 Rangefinder with GPS

Garmin Approach Z82 Rangefinder with GPS

Just like Bushnell, Garmin is a name that’s been in the rangefinder game for a long time. For years, they’ve produced rangefinders that golfers can trust and rely on.

Their latest release is the Garmin Approach Z82 rangefinder with GPS.

While there isn’t necessarily one feature that makes this rangefinder stand out above all the others on this list, it's all-around function and performance are tough to top.

I’m really impressed with how accurate this rangefinder is. We’re talking to within 10” of the flag.

The image stabilization feature is also a big help, especially on windy days or if my hands are a little shaky.

The GPS feature is worth noting too. It gives you a vibrant 2D display and access to more than 41,000 preloaded courses. It also offers a hazard view and laser arc feature that allows you to get yardages to any given point on a hole.

For all-around performance and reliability, the Garmin Approach Z82 gets my vote as an Editor’s Choice in 2023.

Best Handheld Golf GPS: -  Bushnell Phantom 2 Golf GPS

Bushnell Phantom 2 Golf GPS

It comes as no surprise that Bushnell occupies multiple spots on our list.

For golfers that prefer the compact design and functionality of a GPS, the Bushnell Phantom 2 tops the lot in 2023.

It comes with more than 38,000 preloaded courses so there’s no hassle of having to constantly download new ones.

The Phantom 2 gives you yardages to the front, middle, and back of every green, and even allows you to pinpoint the hole location with your finger for even more accurate yardages. You also get up to six yardages to hazards on every hole.

Extras include 18 hours of battery life, a magnetic cart mount and belt clip, and free access to the Bushnell Golf app, the Bushnell Phantom 2 is one of the best golf GPS of the year.

Best Golf GPS Watch: -  Garmin Approach S70 GPS Watch

Garmin Approach S70 GPS Watch

Preloaded with more than 43,000 courses, you’ll have access to course mapping and yardages no matter where you play.

The virtual caddie feature is really cool. It takes into account wind direction and velocity, elevation, and your swing metrics to give you club recommendations.

Green contour mode shows you undulations on every green so you can properly plan your approach shots and make more putts.

The Garmin Approach S70 is more than just a golf GPS, however. It provides you with 24/7 health monitoring and activity data. It even comes with preloaded profiles for strength, HIIT, yoga, and running.

Just like rangefinders, GPS golf watches have come a long way thanks to technology. There’s no better example of that in 2023 than the Garmin Approach S70 GPS watch

Stylish, high-tech, and built by a brand you can trust, the Garmin Approach S70 is the clear-cut favorite as the best golf GPS watch this year.

Final Thoughts on the Best Golf Rangefinders for 2023

There’s no shortage of choices for best golf rangefinders in 2023. The hard part is figuring out which one best suits your game and budget.

As you can see, there are multiple options at nearly every price point. As you make your decision, be sure to keep in mind your budget, the features you think are most valuable, and be sure to do some of your own research before you buy.

When you ultimately find the right rangefinder, you’ll surely be having more fun and shooting lower scores out on the course.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Recommended Posts

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.

Best things to see and do in Moscow

Moscow is the capital of Russia and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia. It’s rich and complex history is a constant reminder of its strategic position between Europe and Asia and makes it one of the cities you should visit once in your life. In terms of the many iconic landmarks, the delicious cuisine, and the characteristic, colorful architecture it has, Moscow is full of surprises for first-timers and seasoned travelers. Apart from the main attractions, it has like the Kremlin or Red Square, Moscow has many hidden gems for you to discover on your free walking tour with your local guide. 

On any of the free guided tours we offer in Moscow , you will be able to find a selection of many tours which are available in different languages and at different times of day, like the morning, afternoon, and evening. Since Moscow is such a large metropolis, getting your bearings by doing a guruwalk with a local guide who will show you all Moscow’s hidden gems is a great idea. This way you get to learn as much as possible about the local culture and way of life. A trip to Moscow wouldn't be complete without visiting iconic places like St Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s Mausoleum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, or the State Historical Museum, before getting some fresh air at Gorky Park, the medieval church of Kolomenskoye, or shopping at Izmailovsky Market. Don’t miss visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Bolshoi Theater, or checking out the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve. 

Many travelers have left their r eviews and opinions about the local guides , gurus, and the routes they walked. If you have any questions about the routes or what is included in the tour, check out their opinions.
