It was PERFECT! We were a bit skeptical at the beginning, because visiting two palaces in the same day can be a bit too much, but our guide Daria made this trip unforgettable and it became a highlight of our entire trip to St. Petersburg! Very interesting and informative! Palaces are just gorgeous! This tour is definitely a MUST!

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!

Over the years we have dealt with a number of private tour agencies and I am sure that Horosho is one of the we have ever used. Our family of four enjoyed a delightful day trip of Peterhof with Olga. She is thoroughly knowledgeable, personable and has a good sense of humor. She was sensitive to our time issues (off to the railway station immediately after our tour) and managed to teach us an amazing amount about the building (Grand Palace) in Peterhof during 5 hours. This is a delightful tour which gave us a great overview of the history of the area. Of course it wasn't easy to organize this tour due to COVID restrictions but anyway we travelled from Moscow (where we worked) to St Petersburg to see famous sights before finally coming back home to the USA. My wife, our two sons and I felt it we learned and experienced a lot! Not to mention that Olga was delightful to spend the day with, answering all of our questions, so I highly recommend the tour. Stay safe, guys! Thank you for making this tour possible!

Have you heard about the brilliant imperial residences around St Petersburg? They form a real precious necklace around the city and every year attract more and more visitors. The mystery of the Amber Room and gorgeous fountains of Peterhoff are famous all around the world. It is really worth spending the whole day outside St Petersburg enjoying the breathtaking beauty of its suburbs. You will absolutely adore: • The fresh air of Peterhoff gardens • The unique fountain system of Peter the Great’s residence • The magnificent Catherine’s Palace • The resurrected Amber RoomThe advantage of taking a tour to these places instead of going independently is that you avoid the hassle of using the public transport and are taken straight there in a comfortable vehicle. Besides, with pre-arranged tickets you do not have to spend hours lining up, and in the peak season that can be a big thing.

We had a perfect plan for a 5 day tour with 6 friends to St Petersburg with Anastasia Travel before the Pandemic. E-mailing with them was a pleasure and it was very easy, we always had prompt and very accurate responses to our questions. As traveling was not possible we at first decided to take vouchers but recently (one year after the original date!) we asked for a refund. It was no problem at all, we received the whole amount of our payment (in Roubles) without hesitation. We will definitely book with Anastasia Travel Company again as soon as traveling is possible again!

We had a three day private tour of St Petersburg with guide Dimitri and driver Alexander. We couldn't have asked for more. Dimitri was delightful and didn't talk too much, so we were able to enjoy the beauty and extravagance of the city without unwarranted distraction. Alexander was a great driver who was always waiting in the easy to spot red van. Everything was very organised, which allowed us to see much more than we had would have otherwise. Express entrance to the churches and palaces was fantastic. Dimitri also suggested excellent places to lunch and helped us search high and low for a particular hard to get souvenir. Thanks guys!

We had a wonderful trip to Russia and an amazing tour of St Petersburg in early February before the start of the pandemics. The guide for the 2 day tour (I forgot her name) was the best person to do this job . Personable, friendly and informative. She took us to the museums and palaces as well as to nice places for lunch. I was amazed by the Russian churches I have never seen that much gold in any other place. Thanks to the guide and the driver it was possible to see so much more than we could have seen on our own even in a week. BTW traveling in February was not as cold as I imagined. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
