We loved our guide, Kate, but it was very difficult to hear her. We were on a tour boat where the loudspeaker was in Russian, and she was translating into English for us. Maybe a radio head set for this would be helpful

Lovely tour this week. Walked from my hotel on the Moika up to the Fontanka and went on roads parallel to Nevsky Prospect, which was really cool to see different streets. I used them later with my family.

I'm a really quick walker the poor guide so we also had enough time to pop into a ph ...

We were met in our Lobby by Kinsenia and walked 30 mins to the boat at 23:30. The boat did not leave until 00:30. The boat seamed not ready for us. All the chairs were stacked, wet with water and not urgency to make us feel welcomed. The covered boat area smells really bad like mildew and pretty ...

I highly recommend this tour. There is nothing more beautiful then seeing St Petersburg by boat. We had the most wonderful guide, Maria Sorokina, who was such a joy. Every question we asked her about her life, St Petersburg, and Russia she answered for us. For such a young person she was very kno ...

Our lovely guide Marta picked us up from the hotel at the appointed meeting time then took us, via the Metro, to the departure point of the River Boat trip. It took about half an hour to reach the departure point. The boat trip lasts roughly 90 minutes and passes in front of several well-known bu ...

This was the most disappointing tour I booked on . Our guidetook us to a boat where we were packed on with 30 or so other people and then the tour was conducted entirely in Russian. Our guide spoke over the loudspeaker in English, so we could barely hear her. Save your money!
