St. Petersburg is a amazing city of culture and history. Our guide Anna brought this historic City to life with her overwhelmed knowledge of St. Petersburg, on a historical and social level. The tour was amazing. It was more than I could have wished for. I would 1000% recommend Anna and Sergi our driver, along with the privately owned boat tour of the city. Worth every penny and so much more. Cant praise this tour guide enough.. Thankyou for the most informative tour I have been on in many years. Amazing....
