Did you know that there are stores for last-minute tours?

Last-minute tours let you plunge into tropical heat straight from winter

Andrey, 17 years old, first-year student: “Yes, I’ve heard of such. As far as I understand, these are sites where you can choose a last-minute tour, they make a selection from different travel agencies. Perhaps there is even a store for last-minute tours.”

Elena, 52 years old, engineer: “Yes, I know! My daughter told me about stores for last-minute tours in St. Petersburg. She even used their services. I don’t quite understand how they work, but I know you can buy cheap tours there.”

Igor, 48 years old, teacher: “I haven’t heard of such, but I can assume that these are special platforms, probably on the Internet, where you can buy last-minute tours from St. Petersburg to any point in the world.”

Ksenia, 25 years old, journalist: “Yes, I know what it is. I even once wrote a piece on this topic. In short, these are online resources where you can select and order last-minute tours from St. Petersburg or any other city to major tourist destinations. Such stores work with large travel agencies.”

Semyon, 28 years old, programmer: “I know a store for last-minute tours in St. Petersburg. You know, there are sites where you can book a hotel or order tickets. This store works on the same principle, only you choose last-minute tours there. I haven’t used it myself because we have a small child and no money for travel yet. But I think the idea is very cool!”

Olga, 26 years old, salesperson: “No, I haven’t heard of such. That’s probably travel agencies coming up with something new, right? Actually, we went on vacation with last-minute tours! We liked it!”

Alexander, 35 years old, top manager: “I know that such a thing exists. But I don’t buy last-minute tours myself. I used to use it, but now my financial situation allows me to buy a more expensive tour and not rush anywhere.”

Daria, 24 years old, fitness instructor: “No, unfortunately, I don’t know. We like to travel independently – you know, booking tickets, hotels ourselves, etc. So we are not interested in last-minute tours.”

Alexander, 20 years old, fourth-year student: “No, I don’t think so. Maybe some travel agency called itself that?”

Elena, 36 years old, lawyer: “I think I understand what it’s about. These are sites that help find and book inexpensive tours around the world. Our acquaintances once used such a system and, by the way, were very pleased! But for our family, it’s not very interesting because we travel the world by car – on our own.”
