We have had a lot of good experiences booking through Viator, but this had to be the best. Our guide was knowledgeable, interesting and personable. Our driver navigated the heavy traffic and narrow streets of St Petersburg with ease. Our only disappointment was that two days was not long enough to soak up all the city and environs have to offer. The tour company even arranged for a bottle of sparkling wine - Russian, of course - at one of our lunches so my wife and I could celebrate our anniversary. This tour beats those arranged by the cruise ship, because it included a subway ride and canal tour. Peterhoff and the Church of the Spilled Blood
