A TripAdvisor Member. Our best tour

Italy. Visited April 2018

Our best tour

I should admit that due to this company and Valeria in particular the tour that I organized for my friends from Italy was turned to be one of the most exciting and interesting experience not only for them, but also for me! I thought I knew my city and it was just lack of time that prevent me from preparing the tour by myself. And now I realize that it was the best decision. My friends are very impressed and we’ve already decided that when they return we’ll call Valeria again. Thank you!

Elisa S. The best guides tours in Saint Petersburg!

Italy. Visited March 2018

The best guides tours in Saint Petersburg!

I had the opportunity to participate to a lot of guided tours around the city with Valeria, the guide, and every time everything was perfect: all the explanations are always clear and detailed, she knows all places very well and knows interesting historical anecdotes.
I really recommend the guided tours with this company because they are professional, passionate and well prepared. If you want to have a great experience in Saint Petersburg and visit this beautiful city then just choose Saint Petersburg Guided Tours!

Peloquinem0203. The very best tour guide in St Petersburg !!!!

New York. Visited December 2016

The very best tour guide in St Petersburg !!!!

On so many different occasions, either at the stunningly beautiful palaces or museums in and around St Petersburg or at the lesser noun, equally breathtaking secrets the city has to offer, Valeria makes it all a true fairytale. From the very start she makes each and every fact, story or hidden detail enchanting and exciting !!!!! I've travelled a lot and she is truly a wonder, a jewel !!!

JDPhillips19. Very knowledgable guides

Birmingham, UK. Visited September 2017

Very knowledgable guides

I went on several different tours with this company whilst I was studying Russian in Saint Petersburg over the summer. With a group of students from the language school I was studying at I visited such amazing sights as Tsarskoye Selo, the Hermitage and Pavlovsk. I was fortunate enough to have the same guide for each of the tours I went on. Valeria knew a wealth of information about all the places we visited, giving us not just an overview of the history of each of the buildings and the people associated with them but also telling us many little bits of trivia that you simply wouldn't find in a guidebook or on many other tours for that matter.
If you're visiting St. Petersburg for the first time and you're looking a reliable, local guide who can show you around the city's main sights and give you a deeper understanding of the city's rich history and culture, you need look no further.

Derzhavin Institute. Perfect guided tours

Russian Language School, St. Petersburg, November 2016

Perfect guided tours

As a language school we've been working with Valeria for 5 years. She is one of the most experienced and professional tourist guides I've ever met. It seems that she knows absolutely everything about St Petersburg. Her tours are very informative, full of historic facts and at the same time not boring - with lots of fun and amusing stories.
Valeria is always ready to meet our needs, and offer not only tours but transportation as well in case we have a big group of tourists.

Alberto G.. The best perspective!

Visited March 2017

The best perspective!

I've been in this amazing city several times, either for business or to meet friends, but one day I've decided to take advantage of a guided tour of the city and its surroundings and picked up a tour with Valerija: she brought me around the amazing monuments of the city, adding interesting stories and informatiin about the buildings, showed hidden corners and tasty places to have a relaxing coffee break. Valerija is very professional but at the same time very friendly and communicative. And she speaks perfect English and Italian (and probably not only). I definitely recommend a tour with her.

Givemeaholiday. Thank you so much for your excellent service

London. Visited in June 2016

Thank you so much for your excellent service

Unfortunately we have extremely limited time in St Petersburg, but Valeria collected us from the station and dropped us off to the airport having a ranged to maximise 100% fully our very limited time in St Petersburg.

I had been desperate to visit the Hermitage Museum since I was very young and therefore this was the highlight of the trip. Valeria had organised a route through the museum that we saw everything without wasting a minute.

I cannot more highly recommend the service that we provided an extremely pleasant way in which you assisted us with everything.

Many thanks. I really hope to visit again to finish seeing your most beautiful city and museum.
