Is it possible to see all the main St. Petersburg highlights in just 2 days? Is it possible to add food tasting and such activities as a canal boat ride or a metro trip? – Yes! The answer is our 2-day Premium tour in St. Petersburg. And although your two-day stop-over is not made of rubber, Premium tour includes as much as possible in but such a short stay.

Tour Reviews
Anna,
I wanted to let you know that we are so grateful for everything you and the company did for our time in St. Petersburg. It was the most amazing experience. My head is still trying to recall all of the information that Katya provided. Alex was awesome as our driver and I hope he enjoyed us as much as we appreciated him. Kate, as she said we could call her, was so charming and delightful. She answered our questions I think almost before we could ask them. Her knowledge and caring for our needs throughout the 2 days was above and beyond excellence. And we really enjoyed our boat ride with Captain Andrew, though I almost got him in trouble with the police since I was standing up taking pictures of almost everything I could see. The lunch locations were absolutely fantastic.
Thank you again, Anna, Katya and Alex fo all of your time to make our trip a memorable experience.

Our time in St Petersburg was the highlight of our recent Baltic Cruise. Our guide, Kseniia was so knowledgeable about her country and it’s history. Maxim was our safe & capable driver. They both were very friendly and were keen to make our 2 days very special for us. It was so nice to be in a small group, and we were able to see so many magnificent places. The traditional lunches with Kseniia were very nice. It was great to meet Anna at the end of our tour. We would love to return to St.Petersburg one day. We highly recommend this company and the 2-day tour
I’d like to thank you for the very well organized schedules so that we didn’t have to queue up in the winter and summer palaces. Maria, our tour guide was very good in terms of her English, her knowledge on the schedule, details of the exhibits and all the information she imparted on us. She also shared some personal life stories, thoughts and aspirations. Both Maria and the driver were accommodating and did their best to make our visit so special and memorable!
I have used Anna many times since 2006 and she always provides thorough and great service. I have used her for both my family (small number of people) as well as large groups from our church on three different occasions over the years, most recently this past month. I can recommend her without hesitation.
Our driver was fantastic. He was very safe and skilled. Our guide
Katya was fantastic also. She was very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of great sights and gained a lot of knowledge about St Petersburg.
We will surely tell anyone who might travel there to contact you.
Thank you so much for all your help in making our time in St. Petersburg so memorable. We have enjoyed the tour so much!
