Highly recommend
Booked last minute and it still went perfectly. Confirmation was instant and the instructions were clear. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Private guide in Saint Petersburg: the Riverside walk
A private guide who knows Saint Petersburg properly — a city built on a swamp to face Europe, with white nights in June. No coach, no rush, and the day bends to what you actually want to see.

About this experience
Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Saint Petersburg for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Excellent
Smooth from start to finish. No queues, no confusion, and the guide knew the area inside out. The children loved it, which is the real test.

Better than expected
One of the best experiences of our trip. Everything ran on time and the staff were genuinely helpful. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

A real highlight
Great value for what you get. The small group size made a real difference. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.
