Our trip to St. Petersburg was based on a cruise that included this port. We were so excited about the St. Petersburg we immediately went in search of a 2 day excursion that would show us as much of the city as we could get in. We booked our tour through Viator, a company we have booked several tours through. They are extremely reliable and provide everything they say they will. City Break Tours of St. Petersburg is affiliated with Viator and MAria and George our driver picked us up the first day right on time. Maria was our tour guide and a woman who clearly loves her city and knows her city. Her knowledge and love of the city showed from Peterhof Gardens, the Tsars Village, The metro station, to the Hermitage..walking the city and a Dinner cruise on the canals in the evening. Maria took us to coffee shops and local areas we would not have seen on a bus. An extremely historical city not to be missed. Maria and George could not have been better hosts to their city. This is a highly recommended tour and Viator City Breaks Tour Company makes it memorable. Thank you Maria and George! M and B Snyder
