From St.Petersburg: Tour to the Catherine Palace and Amber Room

Our tour guide Olga was excellent! She is very knowledgeable with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Our tour included hotel transport which was done very well.

The arrangement so fine and the guide most charming and helpful. she helped us to learn about the site a great deal and she was so attentive.

Our tour guide was excellent and gave us a great tour and answered all our questions. We had a great time and would recommend this tour to all.

Tour guide wasn’t very knowledgable & talkative. We could hardly hear what she was talking about The overall feeling is that she doesn’t enjoy this profession. Luckily Catherine palace & gardens were so pretty

Irina was very professional and we were able to tour the Palace without waiting in line. She was very informative and we had time to also visit the gardens and listen to the singers in the outdoor dome. We highly recommend this tour!

Very comfortable ride. Tour guide Dasha was very nice and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour very much.

We booked a private tour in German and eventually ended up with a group tour in English - paying the private tour price. We explicitly agreed to this change under the condition that there would be a corresponding price adjustment as it is usual practice in Russia if the number of participants increases. This adjustment never happened and we only hear a long silence from the tour operator! Total ripoff. We will also contact Viator about this disappointing experience with this operator.

Both the guide and driver are very nice. The guide Rita, very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Explaining every detail.

Great tour with our guide Niya. We skipped ALL the lines. Lots of people waited in line for hours to get in. With a private tour, we were able to use a separate entrance. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. The meetup and drive over was very easy and relaxing. All told it took four hours, leaving at 11am, returning at 3pm. We saw all the sights with none of the stress. Highly recommended! 出发前一天旅行社花了很长时间，为我们找到了中文导游。我们的导游妮娅在北京外语学院本科毕业，中文很棒。她一早就来接我们，十一点从我们的Airbnb准时出发。到了普希金城先去看了小公园，里面有普希金雕像。然后从宫殿侧门悠然进宫，不用排队。在里面因为我们只有三个人所以备受照顾，很多地方都优先进门，不用排在大队伍后面。妮娅讲得很详细很专业。各个地方都看了一遍出来慢慢溜达到街上，司机来接我们会城，前后一共四小时整。司机先生也很专业，全程一直等我们。无可挑剔的服务！

ohne vorher gebuchte Tour drohen im Sommer bis zu 4 Stunden Wartezeit in der prallen Sonne, ohne garantierten Eintritt. Schon allein das, dazu aber auch der Abhol- und Rückbring-Service zu jeder gewünschten Adresse spricht für diese Tour. Der deutsch sprechender Reiseleiter begleitete uns beide exclusiv vom Apartment, erklärte im Taxi die Sehenswürdigkeiten auf der Strecke und führte uns ohne Wartezeit durch den Katharinenpalast. Im Garten hatten wir anschließend eine Stunde zur freien Verfügung. Nach gemeinsamem Kaffee ging es dann im Taxi zurück zu dem von uns gewünschten Platz. Katharinenpalast und Garten, aber v.a. das Bernsteinzimmer sind diese Reise wert!
