It was a nice tour with a guide who can tell you everything that you ask about the palace, palace life or the history of Petrograd/Leningrad/St. Petersburg in general. If you have a spare afternoon, I full-heartedly recommend this tour!
The main attraction of St. Petersburg are considered to be bridges, which number about 800, 13 of them are swing bridges and each has its own interesting history. The best way to observe the bridges is from the water, ordering a tour by steamboat. The night city is incredibly beautiful, and the bright lights illuminating the unique architectural composition of the city cannot but impress!

We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.

This class was fun! Olga did a great job of incorporating Soviet history through multimedia and explaining the significance of the New Years holiday in Russia. The potato salad was yummy, and I was able to participate using basic pantry items I had available. This was a fun way to take a break from work in the middle of the day!

I would 100% recommend a 48 hr tour of St. Petersburg with NP Tours. Our guides, Olga & Evgeniy were fantastic – we were picked up at the cruise terminal and despite the traffic, we managed to get to all our destinations and had enough time to visit & explore each attraction. We visited Peterhof Lower Park & Upper Gardens and saw the Samson Fountain ‘show’ which is a must-see. We had lunch on a boat tour on the river & canals of St. Petersburg and then spent the afternoon visiting The Church of our Savior on the Spilled Blood and the Peter & Paul cathedral; both have great historical significance and are beautifully decorated inside & out. Former members of the Royal Family are buried at the latter – Olga is extremely knowledgeable on the former monarchy and gave us a great insight into their past. She speaks fluent English and is very informative on all subjects related to the sights we visited, inclusive of general history regarding the city’s past. We visited the Pushkin (formerly Tsarskoye Selo) and Catherine's Palace – beat the large groups and crowds with our private tour! The park and Palace interiors are stunning, especially the ‘Amber Room’ which was a highlight – very unique! We took a walking tour on Nevsky Prospect & visited St. Isaac's Cathedral before taking a tour of the Hermitage Museum and State Rooms of the Winter Palace. The extensive art collection was amazing and I would most definitely visit again! Many thanks to Olga & Evgeniy for such a wonderful experience, I would suggest anyone visiting St. Petersburg take this tour!

Fantastic excursion with Simon and Sergei who acted as interpreters for us with the instructor. The excusion is not cheap but given the lack of shooting ranges that were open to tourists this was put only choice. Besides the cost, the weapons you shoot are classic Russian firearms that possess alarming power. For gun enthusiasts there is no better place to try different firearm than Moscow with these guys. The tour guides were with us every step of the way showing their professionalism and helping us with all the paperwork. A great excursion - thanks Simon and Sergei
