Top St Petersburg Kid-Friendly

* A traveler said: "We met Victoria, our charming Russian host, at the completion of another tour (also with Ludmila Tours). We had already explained that we did not really want to go shopping and had seen plenty of palaces and cathedrals. What we wanted was to experience and explore some of the 'behind the scenes' St Petersburg. We were not able to do this on our own because we had not obtained Russian visas for our one and a half day stay. Victoria was wonderful. Her English was very easy to understand and she spoke at length about life in Russia in general and St Petersburg in particular. She took us to a great little coffee house and then we just wandered through backstreets, ventured into large courtyards hidden from view by large gates and surrounded by apartments, we looked in several 'ordinary' shops and also spent some time in a magnificent emporium on Nevsky Prospekt where the ordinary folk of St Petersburg buy their caviar! All the while, Victoria spoke entertainingly and knowledgeably of her own life and upbringing - she was very young when the USSR dissolved, but she had plenty of information about the kind of life that her parents had led under the previous regime. She also spoke about her own children and her hopes for their future. We enjoyed every minute of it and at less that ten euros apiece, it was an absolute bargain!"
