My name is Tatiana, and I am a licensed private tour guide in St. Petersburg, Russia. I offer private tours and shore excursions to couples, small groups, seniors, families with children, and single travellers.
A private tour with me will enable you to see all the famous sites and beyond with comfort and personal attention.
I will make a customized program just for you, taking into account your interests, duration of visit and the time of year you come.
For cruise passengers I can offer visa free shore excursions - you can see all the popular sights, plus a few off the beaten path too.
All tours and excursions are planned to avoid crowds and lines for museum entry. With a private tour there is no need to hurry to keep up with the rest of the tour group. The pace will be decided by you. If you want to have a break and a coffee, then that's what we will do. If you want a more intensive program, then we can do that as well.
I can also offer you some accomodation options that you may not have thought about before. Situated in the heart of the city some lesser known mini-hotels can provide quality at a lower cost. I can help you choose one that will meet your requirements.
For those with more time on their hands I can offer excursions to Novgorod. This is a beautiful historic city and well worth a visit if time allows.
But to get a complete picture of Russia you should also visit the countryside. Life in rural Russia is very different to that in the cities. I can organize a trip to the Russian countryside. You can meet the locals, and depending on the time of year participate in some of the traditional activies such as picking wild mushrooms.
