I would encourage anyone visiting St Petersburg to spend time in the Hermitage, especially The Winter Palace. Even if you are not interested in the art contained within it, the building itself takes your breath away, especially the sweeping marble staircase. The bookshop within is expensive so I would suggest you buy the book outside the building for less than... More

We spent a few extra dollars to hire Red October for our two day excursion in St. Petersburg. It was well worth it! We were picked up promptly in a clean, modern van, and escorted by our excellent guide Svetlana. Everything went off without a hitch. We never waited in a line! Setlana knew all the shortcuts around the large... More

We sailed on The Jewel of the Seas in May-June, 2011 and were in St. Petersburg in early June. We booked the 2-day tour with Alla Tour and loved it! They take small groups (up to 14) in Mercedes Benz vehicles. Our guide, Julia, was extremely knowledgeable about the history, art and politics of the country. She got us into... More

With only a 2 day visit, we did not think we could see everything we wanted see booking tours through the ship. Even taking the full day ship tours, since they have to manage a larger group,... More

It worked out cheaper than the ships tours would have been. We went with Alla Tours, --------- who communicated well throughout the organisation and always replied promptly. We parted with no money... More

We booked from South Africa a tour with ITravel St Petersburg and had the best overview of the town with a private driver and english speaking tour guide, Tatiana, which did an outstanding job. The arrangement was most impressive, no deposit, the price quoted correct ect. The only surprise was the stop at the Singer cafe were the charged us... More

June is the most desirable month for travelling for any visitor to Saint Peterburg. I was there many times and knew about all the difficulties with the tickets ( especially Peterhoff and Catherine the Great palace in Pushkin ). Trying to impress my husband and his friends ( fist time visitors) ,I wanted to prebook tickets, but had no luck... More
