Sooooo much to see! It was amazing! Palaces, museums, churches - this was a great experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and managed our time well so we got to see everything! Small group tours are awesome, we had 16 in our group.

We as a group of eight organised to spend our two days in Saint Petersburg. I cannot commend this company enough for the superb organisation of the tour. Our tour guide Olga was outstanding in her knowledge, professionalism, punctuality and commitment to ensuring we made the most of our time in Saint Petersburg. Olga has excellent English skills and was happy to adjust the tour to our needs. Just a few of the inclusions: Catherine's Palace, Peterhof Park, Canal Tour, city hotspots , The church of the Spilled Blood and in depth The Hermitage. The driver Andrew was excellent in all respects. Thank you so much Olga and Andrew for an unforgettable experience.

Our tour guide Elena and driver Alexander were absolutely brilliant. Cannot praise them enough and they helped to make the tour so successful. I have already recommended the tour to friends and I know they have already been on their excursion with you. I will not hesitate to recommend this tour again if I get the opportunity.

The overall tour was great and the group was limited to 12 people. Anna, our guide, has an encyclopedic knowledge of the city of St. Petersburg and impressed us with her ability to keep us informed at all times. A highlight of the tour was our short excursion into the St. Petersburg Metro. The boat ride through the city's canal and river system was another highlight. We really went into palace overload, though, with our visits to the Summer and Winter Palaces and the Peterhof Gardens. All three sites are fantastic, but very crowded and it is difficult to appreciate them. All in all, I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get an overview of St. Petersburg. On the downside, our van's air conditioning was not working properly on the first day, but was promptly repaired for the second day of the tour. Lunch was rushed due to the sheer volume of things to see. We were blessed with outstanding weather with cloud free skies and temps in the 60's both days.

Our tour guide, Ksania, was great! She was friendly and knew the city and history very well. Our cruise ship arrived late on the first day and she was able to flip-flop the days so we didn't miss anything. We were not able to get to the Peter and Paul fortress due to a traffic jam earlier in the day on the drive to Peterhoff which threw off the day's plan. I researched many tours before booking this one. I chose this one because it included all the highlights. Because it was a small group, we got to know each other which made it more enjoyable. We had a traditional Russian lunch. Over all, this tour was great. The only drawback was there was little time for souvenir shopping.
