We had the first time experience with our partners from Parallel 60 to organize a group travel to St. Petersburg and Moscow in June 2024. We were extremely satisfied by the high level of professionalism and cooperation with the team from Parallel 60! After the returning of the group we met very happy and grateful tourists and we received only positive feedbacks from them. This made us even more confident on our future cooperation with Parallel 60 and we gladly choose it as our trusted partner! The group size was more than 40 people which is a challenge for anyone working in the field of tourism. Thank you once again Slava and Daria - the best team!

Just returned from a crusie which included 2 days in St Petersburg. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to visit again. To get the best out of the place a pre-arranged tour is essential. We used a tour agency called Parallel 60 (http://www.parallelsixty.com ) and they were excellent. Their guide Sacha, a native of St Petersburg, really knew her stuff. We were taken, hassle free, to many of the major attractions avoiding long queues as tickets had been pre-booked and visits were timed to avoid the worse of the Summer crowds. Sacha made the visit special as she was able to give us a wonderful insight into the history and culture of each place we visited.
Some of the Russians we met were quite serious and stuck rigidly to rules. It must be remembered that many have very little knowledge of spoken English and even less of written English with its different alphabet.
For those on a cruise please note that you do NOT have to take a tour organized by the ship. As long as the tour agency you use is registered (as Parallel 60 is) then they have a tourist visa which covers you. Four of us were able to have a tailor made 2 full day tour with our own personal guide, driver and vehicle that picked us up directly off the boat for far less than the tours offered by the cruise liner.
Can’t wait to return.

We found Parallel 60 via Internet search and were a little concerned for going with a Russian company without an office in US. After few Skype and email communications, we decided to give it a try for our 2-day cruise stop in St. Petersburg. We were pleasantly surprised. Parallel 60 provided a wonderful travel experience for us, a group of 16 people. They are on time, extremely friendly, informative, and professional. We were able to go to all the key sites in a comfortably well-planned and timely manner and in a comfortable vehicle. The tour was exciting and interactive. The Russian style lunch they arranged for us as was wonderful. Our whole group (ages ranged from 10 to 65) was able to enjoy the majestic scenery St. Petersburg offers and learn about the diverse culture of the local people. It really was a memorable trip in St. Petersburg with the help from Parallel 60. We highly recommend Parallel 60.

Parallel 60 was a highly professional tour service that we used for two tours out of St. Petersburg: a lengthy day trip to the city of Novgorad, some two-plus hours from Petersburg, and another somewhat shorter trip to Pushkin. We had found this agency after extensive internet searching and had some concerns since there weren't many reviews to check. But we were delighted by the knowledge and thoughtfulness of our guides on both tours. Having visited the Russian Museum in Petersburg the day before the Novgorad trip was good preparation.

I went to St Petersburg knowing no Russian and wanting to see everything and learn more about the history I've read in books. I contacted Parallel 60 and they booked the hotel for me, which was perfect, and Sergey arranged private tours with Dmitri the driver and Alexandra, the woman who knows everything. Between their knowledge, their generousity of time, patience with me and my own confusions, and their sense of humour, I could not have asked for a better time in St Petersburg. I learned, I laughed and I can't wait to return and let them teach me more about the facinating and beautiful city. I've never been into art history, but much to my own shock, I now look forward to reading more on the collection at the Hermitage, thanks solely to Alexandra's time and effort taken in explaining to me the pieces and the history behind the collections. I will be talking about this trip for years to come. And Alexandra was also always pointing out the washroom facilities to use, which, if you've been to Russia, you know it's appreciated.

Our guide Anatoliy Borissov picked us up form the place where we stayed and took us to a metro ride to more soviet part of the city. All the while we talked about the soviet times, history of Leningrad or 'Lenska' and about modern times also. All the sights he took us to were rather cool + he is a man who knows his stuff. He answered every question we had about Leningrad, soviet times and much more.
Of course it would be cool if one could go into Kirov plant, but it's understandably difficult. Also the family we met afterwards was really warm and welcoming. Although their apartment is now privately owned and not a 'kommunalka' anymore.
Thank you again for an interesting tour!

The trip was fantastic! Thank you Dmitry for your care and organisation. My drivers to and from the boat were impeccable, especially the first - who insisted I was looked after, despite an early arrival. The boat, while not luxurious, was comfortable, interesting and my fellow passengers and the crew (who mostly spoke no English, while I spoke no Russian) were kind. The trips across Lake Ladoga, sunrise at 3.30am and Valaam were so beautiful. My guide on Valaam, (Kiril) was a delight - so much insider knowledge from which I benefitted. The two, 3 1/2 hour walks seemed tailored just for me. This trip may not be for everyone, but it certainly was perfect for me.

Parallel 60 was recommended to me by a friend; and I must admit it was the right recommendation indeed.
Staff was very helpful and understanding of my needs. Despite the short notice I gave to Parallel 60 for arranging my trip to Saint Petersburg; they managed to plan and arrange everything in such way that exceeded my expectations.
The Travel Manager was responsive and provided feedback in a very timely manner; which was indeed critical to allow for arranging my tours. Good thing is they provided a package w/ musem tickets inclusive; in other words you don't have to worry about anything apart from sitting back in the comfortable car and they take you around from one place to the other.
The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the subjects and definitely managed to make the tours very informative and interesting for a foreigner like me! I also must highlight that the driver was very professional; and helpful.
Overall...Outstanding service from Parallel 60 in an outstanding city like Saint Petersburg.
Thanks a million for making my trip to your city an unforgettable one...SPASEEBA!!
