We opted for a "private tour" just so we could see everything on our wish list. We did not want to visit the Faberge Museum so we switched it for Peterhofs castle and fountains....Our guide "Jane" met us at 8AM right next to the ship and walked us 50 feet to our waiting Mercedes and driver. She reviewed our pre arranged journey but if there were any changes she would try her best to accommodate. We drove to Peterhof and were able to spend quite a bit of time. Jane was an excellent guide, she would tell us some of the back stories and history about each and every site visited. Some of the stories / tales were extremely interesting and informative. We went back to St. Petersburg via hydrofoil. Exiting the hydrofoil the driver was at the top of the pier waiting for us and to continue. We did a very complete city tour with several short stops for local information and photos. We had time for a short lunch. We did a very good inside and outside tour of the Church of Spilled Blood and a few of the other sites near the church. She had us back to the ship at 6 PM sharp. After many years of traveling and who knows how many tours we've been on....Jane has been the best guide ever. Thanks Jane
