Usually the decision to visit Russia is not easy and quick for foreign guests. The next step is to understand what cities to go to. The way of travelling is also important as it can be and a private guided tour, a tour in a small group of 6-10 people or a big (up to 40 people) group tour. Each way of travelling has its own privileges and disadvantages and we are not going to discuss them now.
In St.Petersburg tourism our experience is rich enough to satisfy any tourist. Communication will not be a problem because we are also offering help with translation everywhere – shops, cafes, bars, theatres…
July 2014 We had a wonderful 2-day St.Petersburg private tour with Maria as our private guide, and were so glad to have a small group of four instead of 40, like most people on our cruise! This enabled us to dart around big groups, get into museums early, and no lines for the bathrooms! (Plus, Maria found us all the free bathrooms!) She was very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was able to adjust the individual tour to our interests. We were able to see all St.Petersburg places to visit and do a LOT. This is an active tour, and we made the most of our time. Thank you, Maria! You are the best St.Petersburg private guide!
July 2017 It was a pleasure to deal with Tour Petersburg! We were interested in different sites as this was our second trip to St Petersburg. Always prompt, Polina responded to our questions and provided excellent suggestions that only a very experienced tour operator could. Our most knowledgeable and congenial guide Elena was a pleasure to be with during our 2 day tour. Our driver Ruslan's skill at getting us around should be mentioned as well. We would highly recommend this company and thank those mentioned for making our trip most memorable.
July 2018 Polina, I want to thank you on behalf of Robert , Lucille , Shirley and myself for providing us with such great tour itineraries and exceptional service. Tatiana and Maria were great tour guides and very flexible and accommodated all our needs. Maxim was a great driver. Dealing with you all has been a most pleasurable experience and we will have no hesitation in recommending each and every one of you. Once again many thanks for making our stay in your beautiful city so memorable. Warm wishes from us all
May 2019 Maria is an absolutely amazing tour guide - wonderful to work with, incredibly knowledgeable of this amazing city, and really personable. She provided terrific guidance in preparing the trip so that my sister and I could maximize our time and truly visit the treasures most important to us. Our three day program covered Peterhof, Catherines Palace (don't miss the Amber room workshops!) and the Hermitage (with Diamond Rooms!). I can honestly say we would have never been able to be so efficient, see so much and have the incredible, personal experience we had without Maria. I would highly recommend, and I look forward to visiting St Petersburg again WITH MARIA! and soon.
August 2015 Polina was our guide for 3 full and fabulous days. We worked with her in advance on what we wanted to see and she arranged everything perfectly and to fit our schedule. She was great to be with and extremely knowledgable ,and spoke very good English. ( She taught English ) . She arranged a driver but only where needed to keep costs in line. The car was very comfortable and well worth it. We never waited in lines and truly enjoyed our days with her. She was prompt,courteous ,sincere and looked after everything. I highly recommend her.
July 2017 Saint Petersburg was the highlight of our Baltic Sea cruise and we were very fortunate to have as out tour guide Maria and driver George. They allowed our group of 12 to make maximum use of our limited time and to see the highlights of the city. The tour was well organized and Maria was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made sure we saw all the highlights of the city. Even when we were a bit tired she was able to get us going with her enthusiasm and smile. We would highly recommend your tour to others.
July 2018 Polina, Wow wow wow What a great city this is. What a fantastic tour you put together for us. What an excellent guide Tanya is. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and excellent at her job but is one of the nicest persons we have had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you thank you thank you. 
May 2019 We booked our tour with Maria for May 2019. We were a little apprehensive as my husband needs to use a mobility scooter as he has difficulty walking distances. We need not have been worried. Maria was fantastic. Her knowledge is incredible, everything was very organised and we saw so much (more than other people on our cruise). Maria organised all visas, which was so helpful. I would recommend Maria to anyone who is visiting St. Petersburg.
June 2015 On a 12-day cruise in the Baltic my favorite place was St.Petersburg, Russia. Our guide was Ms. Polina Kurshakova. She is the reason our 3-day St.Petersburg guided tour there was so perfect and our favorite port of call. I am so glad we did this St.Petersburg individual tour and did not pile on a bus with a lot of grumpy people. Excellent English, and she was always so concerned about how we were. She helped to plan our three days there. I did not know where to start. I have not stopped talking about her and St.Petersburg private tours she sets up. Our time there was too short. Polina, you are as pretty on the ouside as you are on the inside. I love your city-St Petersburg, Russia.
July 2017 We had two full days in St Petersburg as part of a cruise and arranged for private touring with Tourpetersburg for both days. We made arrangements by email with Maria, who answered all our questions quickly and efficiently. We wanted to see most, but not all, of the stops on the usual must-see tour of the city, but also wanted to add a stop of our own, which they were able to accommodate. I had previously reviewed the shore excursions offered by the cruise line. While the cost for private tours was a little, but not much, more, we were able to customize our tour and have our own private guide and vehicle, so it was well worth it. We are not people who usually take formal tours. When travelling, we mostly head into a city on our own and explore using local transport and our feet. To see anything in a short time in St Petersburg, however, a guided tour is a must. First, it eliminates the… More
