Thanks a very interesting tour..
I had 10 people ages 10-85 and we all had a fabulous time. I feel like we saw an amazing amount in the time we were in port. Best money I spent on the entire trip. Soviet Arcade and Subway were such fun for the kids.
Anastasia provided us with a fantastic tour of St. Petersburg, Russia. She was extremely knowledgeable on all of ares we toured and provided us wit a great history lesson. She was able to get us thru the lines quickly which allowed us to make the most of our day. I would highly recommend her to others interested in seeing a lot in one day.
