Private Tours in St Petersburg |
|
See the glories of St. Petersburg with a private shore excursion from ToursByLocals! No port has more dazzling 'must see' sights and the best way to see them is with your own personal tour guide. You'll get a much better experience than the crowded shore excursions offered by your cruise ship.
It's certain you'll want to see glories of the Hermitage, the stunning suburban palaces of Pavlovsk, the fountains of Peterhof and the city's many cathedrals. But using the services of a local, personal tour guide is the best way to see the most interesting parts of St. Petersburg - those places that only locals know about.
Choose from the St Petersburg shore excursions offered by ToursByLocals, but feel free to suggest alternative places and activities.
All the tours listed here include 'Visa-Free' entrance to St. Petersburg. If you have a Russian Tourist Visa check out the other options available to you. |

| Deboarding Requirements |
Cruise ship passengers can enter St. Petersburg provided they have the following documents:
1. Valid passport
2. Photocopy of the passport's main page
3. Travel ticket (we issue this and send it to you when you book your tour)
Passport control processes your documents and issues you a coupon (surrendered when you return to the ship).
Your guide will meet you outside passport control (holding a sign with your name on it).
SPECIAL NOTE:
Sometimes the cruise line gives mis-information about problems that can occur unless you book their shore excursions. These are just tactics to force you to take their tours.
Once you are in St. Petersburg, you are under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. The cruise ship cannot hold you on the ship while other passengers disembark. They cannot force you to stand in separate lineups for passport control. Please contact us if you have any questions about 'Visa-Free entry to St. Petersburg. |
