Lilli Salomaki, Finland Apr 17/11 Elena was not able to personally meet us but sent an excellent tour guide named Luba. We wouldn't have been able to get around stress-free without her. Luba knew the city inside out, was enthusiastic in offering all she could at our request, and has been our friendly companion during the whole tour. We would not hesitate to book her again when we return for another visit! TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Lilli, I'm very happyn you very satisfied with your experience with Luba, she's really one of my top guides and I feel 100% sure when I entrust my clients to her. I'm sorry I wasn't able to personally meet you, Unfortunately I'm experiencing health problems that don't allow me to guide. I hope your parents have also enjoyed St.Pete! Lena

Lynn B., United States Aug 11/10 Elena is a charming and very knowledgeable guide. Our group of 6 adults and a 5 year old spent 2 days exploring St Petersburg with Elena leading the way. She did an outstanding job!

Jenny Levin, United States Jun 17/10 Wonderful guide! Loves and knows the city, great personality, excellent English. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Jenny, thank you! We were REALLY lucky to have a wonderful day for the city exploration...you can't even imagine how the weather had changed after...ouch!

David Harrison, Canada Oct 9/09 Svetlana (not Elena) conducted this tour. Excellent, full and memorable day. Svetlana is an art historian, very fluent in English; friendly, sociable, knowledgeable, always checking on my interests &and energy level. We first planned the day around some churches and museums to learn more of Russian history & society; a trip (adventure?) on the Metro; & to walk the regular streets of the city & talk about life in Russia. I was delighted with the service and the company of this charming guide. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear David, I'm VERY glad you have enjoyed your tour with Svetlana. She's really a great person and I felt absolutely sure about letting her show you around instead of me. I'm very sorry I couldn't do it personally and had to stay at home with the baby... Svetlana said she had enjoyed her day with you immensely!

Kiffin Miller, Australia Jul 13/09 This tour just for the two of us was well worth the reasonable cost. Elena was able to get us into sites without having to queue. She has a great knowledge of the history and places we saw. Things that you would walk past without a second glance she was able to provide us with a fascinating background story. We saw Tsarskoe Selo and Pavlovsk using a driver and car that Elena organised. A great days outing, we have no hesitation in recommending these tours.

Kote Chundu, United States Jul 8/09 Excellent overall experience! Very knowledgeable, professional, and punctual. I would highly recommend her. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you, Kote! I'm very glad you've enjoyed your time in St.Pete! I hope your flight back home was safe and easy! Lena
