We had an excellent 2 days seeing St. Petersburg. I booked a long time ahead as we were coming by cruise and was hoping for everything to go smooth. The company kept their promises and we were picked up at the cruise terminal on time. Our guide had a good English and she was very personable. No lines at the attractions as everything was pre-booked. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to see everything important in 2 days.

We quite simply had an amazing tour. Our guide and driver were the best and quickly made alterations to suit the itinerary to make the most of the warm weather. From the canal ride, the gorgeous palaces (no queuing), the underground ride and eating traditional Russian lunches both days - it was definitely the best way to get a taste of this wonderful country. We would highly recommend this tour.

Our 2 days in Saint Petersburg iwere fabulous! The city has very rich history, beautiful architecture and incredible cultural heritage. Our guide Svetlana from Ludmila tours did her best to help us to enjoy maximum of Saint Petersburg for such a short time . The most special for us was the tour to the Hermitage. The company booked special entrance to the museum. It was a surprise for us but what a surprise!!! We also did very pleasant trip to the suburbs of Saint Petersburg to visit former summer residences of royal family. Our driver Boris was very professional, we felt safe in his car which was very important. We have heard that Russian drivers are crazy that is defiantly not about Boris he is top professional. By the way Ludmila from Ludmila tours is a real person. She greeted us and her other tourists in the sea terminal in the morning of the second day. She appeared to be very pleasant. She and her great team guide Svetlana and driver Boris did our journey unforgettable.

I must admit we were slightly apprehensive at first, but passing through Russian customs with no problems and then meeting Ludmila put us all at ease! Anna, our guide, was a delight she was punctual and has a terrific demeanour with not only us but also with other tour guides and groups, her knowledge and obvious pride in her country came through constantly, as did her fantastic breadth of knowledge all through the two days. Thank you also for organising the wonderful Faberge Tour where we were chaperoned by Sonia who we all agreed was a delightful young lady and like Anna, very proud of her country. She patiently made sure that everything was in order and even looked after our bags which was much appreciated. Our driver Anastasia hopefully correct spelling was really helpful and competent in negotiating the traffic and liaising with Anna for drop offs and pickups etc.

Excellent tour which includes all the popular places in St Petersburg that everybody should visit. The 14 people group is perfect, not too big nor too small. Our guide Marsha is great. She took good care of us all. she is knowledgeable and passionate and well organized. Her English is fluent. Her narrates are perfect, enough to make it educational, but not too much to make us bored. We enjoyed our 2 days with this tour and the tour guide.
