We had a wonderful tour of St Petersburg with Marina. She was a wonderful guide: friendly, cheerful and hugely knowledgable. She collected us promptly at our hotel and we spent a full day discovering the key sights of the city – a perfect introduction that we could never have managed alone. She told us a huge amount about the city, its history and its place in the wider story of Russia. The tour was built around us and what we wanted to do, and Marina and the excellent driver helped make sure we got back a little early as we were heading out for the evening. A magical day!

The whole crew of my tour was very helpful and understanding. I travel solo so I need lots of personal attention, and they gave it to me! Guide was able to change some plans in our day and driver made a couple of additional stops so I could get specific gifts for my family and see some really sweet local attractions. I definitely recommend this company!

In addition to the most significant places and views, you will explore hidden places trough the eyes of the local resident : exclusive areas and unknown parts of the Northern Capital of Russia, following routes not frequently used by the majority of tourists (buildings with hidden courtyards, cafés, anti-cafés from the old printing press or restaurants in residences and palaces, etc.). Your itinerary can be adapted to your wishes and include some secret places near the place you stay. Another part of the program could be discussing the differences between your cultural specialties and Russian ones. During the walk, the local resident will give some hints, for instance, where to change money, how to use the transport system etc.
