The tour guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable. I don't think you need a tour guide for these locations. In the State Russian Museum there are several employees sitting in the rooms to answer questions and with English audio. While the Museum had beautiful and historic peaces I wouldn't say it's a must see. The Hermitage is beautiful and I would suggest this instead. The food was delicious, but the tour guide didn't stay and thus going to lunch after would be sufficient. The tour guide was amazing and my review does not reflect otherwise, but the tour itself was expensive and cheaper options available and skipping the Museum and going to Hermitage is my opinion.
