2-tägige private Stadtbesichtigung in St Petersburg

Part of an 18 day Scandinavian tour, our time in St Petersburg with Katya was the highlight. We had a private tour with just two couples and we saw EVERYTHING in St Petersburg over two days. Katya did a wonderful job filling us in on the local history and provided us a totally new appreciation for this city and the surrounding areas. From palaces to scenic cruises to subways to museums, and more, we were able to get expedited entry and make the most of our time. Thanks again Katya and Vlad (our great driver)!!

Amazing. Got to the front of the queue at most locations and squeezed in an afternoon at peterhof.

This tour was amazing. our guide was a young girl can't remember her name now but she was amazing. Her knowledge was fantastic and she was young and full of life, very refreshing. The places she took us to eat were fantastic local and very reasonably priced. We were a private group of 6 friends. It was great to be a small group getting through those crowds. Our friends who were with us had done the trip before with a bus and said they didn't see halve as much then as they saw this time so they were very happy.

Our guides were excellent, however as this was a 2 day tour I would have preferred to have the same individual for both days. The driver is an unsung hero, finding parking! End of August is a very busy tourist time. Weather was 60's, overcast, occasional rain. Might want to wait until kids are back in school.

Great two day tour. Katerina was able to get us in all the exhibits, give great detail about the history of Russia and the Soviet times. In going through the many locations, she explained, in detail, the art, fountains, rooms, etc. As we were it the s the two of us, we were able to spend some additional time at the Herimtage, vs the tours from the ships. Would recommend her and the tour.

Superb professional service from our guides and driver. Anna for day 1--Her strong historical background was perfect for the Hermitage and city sites. Day 2 with Maria brought the people, economy, countryside to life for us. Their expertise was customized to our interest in architecture, arts, history and cuisine.

This was a wonderful, well organized tour of a beautiful and amazing city. Anna met us promptly waiting with a sign with our name on it and took us to our waiting driver, Alex, and into an immaculately clean minivan. We saw all the listed sights and more, and were able to avoid the long lines as Anna had pre-arranged ticket vouchers for all the sights. Anna a teacher when not guiding tours is a wealth of knowledge on the complicated history of her country, and its rich culture, and was able to answer all our questions. Anna speaks English very well, and although Alex doesn't he smiles a lot, was courteous and polite, and is a great driver who was able to navigate the traffic effortlessly and efficiently. Highly recommend this tour.

The sites visited were as described, however, being on a private tour for 4, we expected more flexibility. Clearing customs from our ship took two and a half hours, of course not a tour company issue, but resulted in rushing to cover all scheduled. Our second day travel was delayed as all bridges into the city were closed due to a marathon. This resulted in a detour and metro ride then trying to cross street with marathon runners to get to our canal boat. Hind site seems the tour operator should have been aware of this and switched our day's sites. The tour guide and driver were very nice, just unaware of issues.
