This was a fantastic 2 day tour with very efficient( Maxibalt lady tour guide who I am very sorry to say I have forgotten her name. She was able to take us to so many sights in those 2 days with some sights being visitor free due to her strategy of knowing when sights would be more visitor friendly without all the crowds. WE had a small group of 13 6 couples and my self.. The tour was more than I could have wished for as the church of spilled blood, metro stations were my high lites. Thank you Maxibalt Tour lady - Beryl from NZ

We were in St Petersburg for only 2 days and our tour guide Veronika made sure we saw as much of it as we could. She is an exceptional tour guide, extremely knowledgeable, and a wizard at what she does, somehow getting us into the different palaces, cathedrals, and museums quickly and without ever having to wait in line. She even took us for a ride on the Russian metro, which was weird in and of itself, but impressive and exhilarating at the same time. We can't say enough about her. She made our first trip to Russia one we will remember for a long time.

Our tour guide Maria and driver Vlad picked us up and took us on a great 2 day adventure in St. Petersburg. Besides the usual places we also went on the subway and experienced a local super market. Maria got us into all the attractions and gave us a great narrative of the city.

Never expected to see as much as we saw each day. Very strenuous! Konstantine was an amazing guide! Such beautiful palaces and churches.

Two day tour is well worth the cost to not only see exterior facades, but also inside the Hermitage, Church of the spilled blood, the castles, Rasputin's home, even the beautiful metro system, and much more. Our guide, Valerie, was very knowledgeable and hospitable. Don't visit St P without the 2 day Viatour.
