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.
