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 individual tour, 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…
June 2014 Polina was our private guide for two fabulous days in Saint Petersburg. She was extremely helpful (and patient) in the planning process of our St.Petersburg tour package. We were celebrating our son's birthday on our second day, and she made a lunch reservation and even ordered a birthday cake! We were able to see and do the things we absolutely wanted to in our two (short) days in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
July 2017 First, I am somewhat remiss in posting late in that we were there about a month ago. But I cannot give TourPetersburg anything but the highest marks. Maria and Polina and her family and George - our driver were wonderful. The schedule I requested was not easy, but it definitely delivered. We have done three different visits to SP. Once, on our own in 1999. Second, with a group prior to TourPetersburg. I asked to see the special rooms in the Hermitage - the Diamond Room and the Gold Room. Only two groups go at one time at appointed times and with a smaller number of people. You have a private guide/curator. Having Maria allowed us for easily translation. July 12 - We met Maria at 10:00 AM for our tour. We started at the University Embankment; visited the Egyptian Sphinxes (where she showed us how to "greet" them (they are from Napoleon's time) - cover their ears and whisper in the cat's ear. Then the Priviet, Rooslam,… More
July 2018 Visit to St Petersburg for four adults. Contact throughout the booking with `Maria was excellent. From meeting Maria (and Anton the driver) at the port we felt welcomed and in good hands. Maria tailored the tour to our needs and in doing so we saw far more than we would have if we had booked an excursion through the ship. Nothing was too much trouble, Maria even booked a table for lunch at the Peterhof and arranged for us to visit (and ride) on the Metro. We also got to see the kitchens and bath house, which although are accessible to all are not usually included in a standard tour. If you are thinking of booking a private tour in St Petersburg, you need to contact Maria!
May 2019 Hi Polina and Maria, Thanks for a wonderful two days. In spite of the bad weather, we had a great time. We especially enjoyed spending time with Olga and girls and having tea with you and your family, Polina. You and Maria really listened to what we wanted and we now have a much better idea how regular people live in your city and could see how the city has changed over the years. We didn’t feel that we were visiting old history but current life. I thought this would be our last visit but now I am not so sure.
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
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.
