View Profile

Greg Tepper founded Russiatours, Inc. (later renamed Exeter International) in 1992 in order to provide travelers a new way to visit Central and Eastern Europe and Russia. With the Iron Curtain gone, a totally new approach to travel in Eastern Europe was now possible: luxury, customized travel. The mandatory depressing hotels and horrible restaurants of those autocratic itineraries are now past; replaced by stunning five-star hotels, beautifully renovated properties, and personally tailored trips to once inconvenient destinations. Exeter International has been helping travelers enjoy these regions since 1992, and has established itself as the leading deluxe tour operator to Central and Eastern Europe and Russia.

Accommodation

,The Hotel Kamp One (1) Deluxe Room for Three (3) nights; Tax and Buffet Breakfast included daily. The Hotel Kamp is an historic hotel (originally opened in 1887) that was completely restored and rebuilt in 1998. The new hotel comprises three separate buildings, including the original hotel, yet the feeling once inside is that of a unified and luxuriously modern hotel. It is practically impossible to tell the difference from the old part of the hotel from the newer parts. The larger suites have stunning views onto Helsinki’s main “Esplanade.” The Hotel Kamp is one of the few hotels in the world that feels luxurious, yet extremely comfortable at the same time- look for hard wood floors, oriental carpets, light and inviting décor and a state of the art fitness center on the top floor! Deluxe Rooms at the Hotel Kamp are the starting category. They are approximately 320 square feet and all feature stunning marble bathrooms with separate bath and shower. They offer either a single king-sized bed or two twins with views to the inner courtyard / garden Blackout dates may apply. Rates are not valid on New Year’s Eve. Extra days may be added for additional cost. Please ask your travel consultant for details.
