This tour was a great way to take in all the sights and history of St. Petersburg. Our guide Victoria was outstanding...very knowledgeable, and personable. We were able to see so many more sights because there were only 4 of us and we were able to navigate more easily in the smaller vehicle and in the crowded venues. I would highly recommend this tour, especially for first-timers to St. Petersburg.

We had a great time in St Petersburg thanks to your guide Victoria. The tour was comprehensive and well organized over two days. It was also very kind of you to organize for Sergei to take us back to the ship after the ballet in Mariinsky. Please pass on our thanks to them both.

I really enjoyed our tour and I recommend it to anyone wishing to go to city of Saint Petersburg. Fantastic time on the tour, very knowledgeable and helpful guide - couldn't have asked for more, she was very insightful with the history about St Petersburg as well

Our guide, Valeria, was very knowledgeable and a real problem solver. When I booked the tour, I was very specific about what we wanted to see, but upon arrival at the Hermitage I told Valeria what was most important for us and she said many of those things were not included. She immediately spoke with her office and fixed everything, including changing our lunch to dinner so we could spend 7 1/2 hours seeing everything we wanted. Valeria explained both the history, art and furnishing's importance. She was very good at getting us around all the big tour groups....the museum is mobbed with busloads of tourists both from the cruise ships and generic tours and it makes it very hard to see the top art, like the Rembrandts. Tour books recommend seeing both the gold and diamond rooms which can only be toured with a Hermitage guide, tickets purchased separately. If you only have time for one, see Diamond, it includes representatives of what is in Gold Room.

We really loved Swetlana!!! She is a lovely young lady with excellent knowledge of all that there is know and more in Moscow. She covered history art literature and any questions we had on any topic. We so enjoyed her company and guidance. We would highly recommend your company and swetlana anytime. Thank you for making it memorable and you are welcome of post my comments on your website

Our guide Ilya was very knowledgeable. He managed to help us avoid the crowds as much as was possible and really helped to show us the important collections in the museum.

This tour will take you to parts of the Hermitage cruise ship passengers don't normally reach. We saw all the artefacts from ancient times with an excellent guide who was friendly, courteous and very helpful. Saw the Rembrandts without a crowd. Very nice lunch at a nearby restaurant afterwards.
