Our tour guide arrived to arrival hall five minutes before reservation time however all of our guests already arrived. Tour guide is very friendly and beautiful. However her english is hard for me to understand as I am not native speaker and she got accent. Two lunch meals are really nice very tasting but the first day's meal we use over one hour to wait.It took too long. I would say this is a lovely tour and include lots of visiting.
Where do we start, 3 amazing days in St Petersburg, 3 equally amazing, knowable tour guides, different one each day worked so well and even the driver looked after our welfare re pick pockets and was so polite and is one of the safest drivers we have EVER had on holiday. We cannot rate St Petersburg, the tours, the guides and even the driver too highly. 10/10
This tour was outstanding. Stan was our tour guide for all 3 days of this visa-free tour. He was very friendly, informative and re-arranged the schedule as necessary to avoid long queues and possible traffic. It was a small group tour of 15 people in a minibus which proved to be an excellent way of moving between the cultural sites. So, all in all it was a great way of seeing St Petersburg.
We where a party of 3. We visited St Petersburg with a guide and a chauffeur. Our guide Nathalia was excellent. She describe with passion the history and the splendors of St Petersburg. The 3 days tour was full of beautifull visits, no time lost. The skip the line was verry appreciate. We fully recommand this tour to visit St Petersburg.
Stan was an excellent guide it was fun spending 3 days with he and the driver Alex. They were there at the pier when we arrived and after we went through the immigrations area we boarded the van with 12 other cruise passengers and began our journey of St. Petersburg. Stan was very easy to understand and was extremely knowledgeable in Russian history and art, there wasn't one question over the three days that he couldn't answer. He had a great personality and made our long days in traffic jams fun and a wonderful experience. The driver Alex was a very calm driver and helped make the drive from one point of interest to the next nice and relaxed which is not always the case on tour buses. I thank Aventura Travel for making our visit to St. Petersburg very memorable.
Excellent 3 day tour. Our guide Stan was knowledgeable and helpful. Price was very competitive too
Saw so many great things and had a very knowledgeable and experienced guide Stanislavsky who looked after us so well. Although there could have been up to 15 people in our group in fact there were only 4 of us which made the whole experience very efficient and a good use of time with queuing and waiting around kept to a minimum.
We had a wonderful 3days in St Petersburg when our cruise ship visited here. The tour run by Aventura allowed us to see the highlights at our own pace and would have no hesitation recommending. A word about St Petersburg for ashmatics, we were there in July and the high humidity 90-95 caused my wife to use her inhaler more but nothing serious and would not stop us from returning, Just be prepared.
An outstanding experience! We were promised a small group and there were only three of us for the first day and a half and only the two of us for the remainder. Our guide was well informed, interesting and clearly intent on providing us the best experience possible. We never had to stand in line were well able to avoid most of the tourist crush. Our driver provided a clean, well maintained vehicle and demonstrated concern with our safety and comfort. We were provided with lots of local flavour. When we said our goodbyes, we felt that we were leaving new friends.
