Marios S. Unforgettable 3-Day tour in St. Petersburg

Cyprus. Visited in September 2022

Unforgettable 3-Day tour in St. Petersburg

We were very privileged to have enjoyed a fantastic 3-Day private tour in Saint Petersburg. Our amazing tour was even more exciting, interesting and smashing with Valeria, our tour guide who gave the most of her herself and with her extremely historic background and her fluency in the English language, made us love this beautiful city and enjoy every second of it. This was not a simple tour for me and my wife, it was a deep dive into Russian rich history and civilization. Valeria planned a dreamy daily agenda starting from a city tour to churches and cathedrals, palaces, museums, statues and many more attractions. We've been in a lot of countries taking tours but this one in St. Petersburg really stood out by far. We absolutely recommend "St.Petersburg Guided Tours" We won't forget the gentle Vladimir, the mini bus driver. I'd love to come back again. Thank you.

Susan E. Fabulous guide. Great care

Dartmouth, UK. Visited July 2019

Fabulous guide. Great care

I visited Saint Petersburg with my three grown-up children. Valeria arranged for us to be met at the airport. She personally guided us for three days and we had an absolutely brilliant illuminating time seeing all the splendid opulent sites of St Petersburg and the surrounding palaces. Our taxi was exceptional, a lovely man with a happy face who was always there to “scoop” is up and take us on to the next venue.
Valeria’s knowledge of the history and the treasures of St Petersburg was without fault and her English was fluent.
Valeria also booked us restaurants and the ballet – we were lucky enough to get excellent seats, thanks to Valeria.

Janice. Three perfect days

Melbourne, Australia. Visited June 2019

Three perfect days

We had a private tour of three days organised by St Petersburg Guided Tours. Valerie was v helpful in assisting us to create the itinerary that we wanted. Zara, the guide, is very knowledgeable about art, Russian history, and the country. She has a lovely personality, and great sense of fun. She took great care of us during the tour. She gave us good recommendations for where to eat in the evenings, how to get around and what to see in our time after the tour. Pavel is an excellent and safe driver.

The advantage of the private tour was that we were able to see all of the main sites in three days. It was tailored to our interests and we learned so much about St Petersburg and Russia. It was at our pace, and had flexibility each day, to spend more or less time at various places. We are keen walkers and Zara happily tramped miles thru various parks and along avenues.

Lynette. 3 day tours executed perfectly

Gold Coast, Australia. Visited May 2019

3 day tours executed perfectly

We were picked up on time by Olga our guide for Peterhof Palace on day 1 and a city tour on day 2, the car was excellent and both trips went smoothly. Olga is a font of knowledge which she imparted in perfect English making it both interesting and fun, we were shown a grotto in Peterhof which was a special additional extra to the tour and was truly magnificent.
Day 3 saw Valeria, an owner of the St. Petersburg Guided tours, take us to Catherine Palace where once again we were amazed by both the buildings and the stories behind them.
I would thoroughly recommend you use their services, reasonably priced for what we received and with delightful guides.

Wellington, New Zealand. Visited November 2018

A really excellent tour service – great value of rmoney

Our tour was managed by Valeria who I think owns the company. We had a three day tour but for a little extra Dimitri, our driver, also picked us up and dropped us back at the airport at the beginning and end of our tour. Valeria was terrific: very knowledgeable and pleasant. The itinerary was suggested by her and it really made the city accessible. Highly recommended!

Vancouver, Canada. Visited July 2018

St Petersburg Tours

My husband and I had a fantastic 3 day tour with St Petersburg Tours. Valeria arranged the Car and Dimitri to drive us, Nadia was our guide for the first 2 days and Maria took over for our 3rd day. We managed to fit in everything we requested, subway ride, Palaces, Churches, local eating spots and an amazing ballet. Their local knowledge, history, English skills and personable stories made it very enjoyable.

Globetraveller21. The best possible tour guide company in St Petersburg!

Cheshire, UK. Visited June 2018

The best possible tour guide company in St Petersburg!

Valeria is the most knowledgeable of guides with a passion for all the architecture and treasures that St Petersburg has to offer. She is unbelievably enthusiastic and will help you choose your bespoke tour by email before you even set off on your trip. Once in St Petersburg she is organised and efficient and will whisk you from one site to another in an air-conditioned vehicle, managing to beat the queues and even gain access where others don't seem to be able to go. Her English is perfect and after spending 3 days with her we felt as if we were saying goodbye to a friend. Highly recommended!

olibats2017. How to pick the right guide

Seville, Spain. Visited May 2018

How to pick the right guide

Since St.Petersburg is visited by over 7 million tourists (of which 3.5 m foreigners, most of which package tours) picking the right tour guide can be tricky. I was lucky to find Valeria of St.Petersburg Guided Tours (not to be confounded with similarly named Tour-in-StPetersburg). I booked a 3-day private tour and everything went smoothly and as promised. The communications by by email and also by WhatsApp during my visit was rapid and efficient. I wanted to see Moscow after my 3 days in St.P. and she advised how to get there best (by Sapsan high speed train) and booked tickets and seats for me since international reservation on Russian Rail did not work. Also, Valeria showed flexibility according to the weather and knew how to skip long queues of mass tourism.
A memorable experience I can warmly recommend to other individuals or small groups. I wish Valeria much success with her small sympathetic enterprise.

MM R. My research to find a great Tour Operator paid off

Havelock, New Zealand. Visited August 2017

My research to find a great Tour Operator paid off

We wanted to have a more personal tour for our 3 days in St Petersburg. One where we could go at our pace but more importantly see things as locals would. There are many operators in StP and difficult to work out which is best for you. After much research (having been a Travel Agent for many years) I chose to work with Valeria. We could not have been happier with the arrangements and contact we had at all times and the confidence I felt when dealing with her. From the purchasing of theatre tickets to the day to day schedule we were not rushed but were able see all our desires. Having Nadia as our guide was special in its self as we learnt so much about the people and the way of life in StP through Nadia. She effortlessly moved us to the front of queues ensued we were moving in the right space to be in front of the most famous paintings and works or art while others could only stretch to get a glimpse. Our transport and driver couldnt be faulted, clean vehicle personable driver always waiting when we were ready to move onand excellent driving skills. We would definitely use Valeria and her company again and would recommend her for a hasslefree option when travelling to StP

EkaKondakova. Perfect person to fell in love with the city!)

Moscow, Russia. Visited April 2017

Perfect person to fell in love with the city!)

Our colleague recommended Valeria as an excellent guide and we couldn't have been happier. We were travelling with kids so it was fantastic to have a time for us to see the city and to feel its atmosphere by our selfs listening to Valeria's stories, because our young "part" of the group was fascinated as well. Its not an easy thing to keep an attention of the kids so Valeria did it just perfect!) She was so easy to listen to and at the same time her stories was full of historical details! Very friendly, informative, and engaging! It really made the remainder of our visit so much more meaningful. Thanks to Valeria from all of us!!!)

Our wonderful vacation in SPg

We came to St.Petersburg for a weekend to selebrate our anniversary. I have been to St.Petersburg earlier and wanted to show the city to my husband. We decided to contact a guide to plan our stay in the best way. Valeria arranged us an airport pick up and helped with the theatre tickets. We visited several museums, and really enjoyed the tour, which was interesting and informative. We were looking for a special place for a dinner, and thanks to Valeria we found a restaurant with wonderful view and delicious food. Sure, 3 days are not enough to see all the beauty of St.Petersburg, so we'll definitely be back, with Valeria and her Guided Tours.

Miglior guida turistica a San Pietroburgo!

Ho avuto la fortuna di poter visitare la meravigliosa San Pietroburgo con una guida competente come Valeria. La sua capacità di coinvolgere nel corso delle visite unitamente alla sua innata simpatia hanno senza dubbio reso ancora più indimenticabili i giorni da me passati in questa splendida città. La raccomando assolutamente!

KarenSmithdorset. Brilliant guided tours

Dorset, Great Britain. Visited June 2016

Brilliant guided tours

We booked a 3 day guided tour with Valeria. We highly recommend any tourist to do the same . We saw everything we wanted to see and Valeria made it all so easy and interesting. We didn't have to queue to get into all the main attractions because Valeria had organised tickets in advance which meant we had so much more time to explore all the wonderful art galleries and palaces. Her knowledge of St Petersburg was outstanding. She also recommended excellent restaurants at night and was full of advice concerning other attractions such as underground stations and unusual cafes we could have missed without her. We can't imagine how we would have managed without her. Valeria is a superb tour guide.

Germany. Visited August 2016

Ferien in St-Petersburg

Wir waren in St. Petersburg ein paar Tage, Mann hat vor langer Zeit versprochen eine romantische Reise. Wir haben eine Reiseleiter genommen da war keine Zeit für die Organisation. Mit Waleria haben wir alle Museen besucht und eine Fahrt mit dem Boot gemacht . Wir haben einen Ausflug nach Peterhof und Zarskoje Selo gemacht. Haben genügend Zeit gehabt für einen Spaziergang durch die Stadt und um Souvenirs zu kaufen. Die Fahrt durch die Stadt war mit komfortablem Auto - viele Emotionen haben wir bekommen . Vielen Herzlichen Dank. Wir würden das weiter empfehlen! Bis zum nächsten mal!

Lucarelli Anna. Vacanza a San Pietroburgo

Rome, Italy. Visited May 2016

Vacanza a San Pietroburgo

Siamo stati a San Pietroburgo per dieci giorni quest'anno in maggio. Non conoscendo la città abbiamo deciso di rivolgerci ad una guida.E abbiamo trovato Valeria,una persona semplicemente squisita!!! Valeria ha organizzato per noi delle escursioni nella città, come ad esempio alla Fortezza di Pietro e Paolo, al Museo Russo e all'Ermitage. Non essendo dei veri e propri amanti dell'arte non volevamo "perderci" nell'Ermitage e Valeria è riuscita in sole quattro ore ad organizzarci un tour completo e molto interessante.oltre a questo siamo andati anche nella città di Pushkin per vedere la camera d'ambra, il palazzo e i giardini.eravamo in sette e avevamo con noi un bambino di due anni.Valeria ha organizzato per noi tutto il viaggio, accompagnandoci e facendoci anche qui da guida.le uniche cose che posso dire sono: non perdetevi un'escursione o una passeggiata per la citta' con Valeria, lei riuscirà a farvi sentire,anche se per poco tempo,dei veri pietroburghesi! Scrivo questa recensione proprio da San Pietroburgo, ci siamo tornati a distanza di pochi mesi per rivederla in inverno.
