    The tour was only for 3hours, but we found out so much about St.Petersburg history and other interesting facts. Our guide Lidiya was very friendly and her english was very good.
    I was very happy that our tour wasn't cancelled the last minute as only me and my friend were the only people who booked the tour. Most of the tours require a minimum quantity of people to proceed otherwise it can be cancelled a day before.
