Julia was our tour guide. Her English was excellent. She was very knowledgable about the city of St. Petersburg, and also its long history. She was sincerely kind, always patient, and always flexible and accomodating. We would definitely use Tours by locals again based on this experience. We would definitely recommend it to others, and if we return to St. Petursburg, we would personally request Julia. Our driver Andre was also pleasant, competent, and timely.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Judith, Thank you for taking your time to leave your feedback at TBL! This is very important for me. I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed the tour with Julia, she's a very sweet girl and professional guide. I'm sorry I was not able to personally take you on tour as my doctor thinks it's better for me to avoid standing and walking for a long time.

There were five in our group, some with mobility issues. Our guide, Anna, and our driver, Sergei, were phenomenal. They did everything they could to make our tour wonderful. St. Petersburg is not super accessible for wheelchairs or scooters but because we were a 'small' group we were able to go to the head of the long line up many times. Anna answered our endless questions, and was very knowledgeable. We packed a lot into two days, incl. some special interest stops we requested. Highly recommend them!!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Carla, Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed your stay in St.Petersburg and that your guide Anna made is easy and special for you! Lena
TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: It is ToursByLocals policy that in the unusual case where the guide actually giving the tour cannot be the person shown on our website, the customer is told before booking and agrees to the change.

Do yourself a favour and book Elena as soon as possible. She was brilliant! We were a party of six including two elderly parents with walking difficulties so our programme needed to be flexible and enjoyable. Elena was very personable, extremely knowledgeable (but not in a boring guide type way) and very accommodating to our full and changing itinerary. Fantastic trip (2 days of 5 hours each), good value and excellent personal service. Elena...thanks from us all.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Dear Gary, Thank you for your kind words! I'm very happy you have enjoyed the tour and that I didn't wear you out too much:) It was my pleasure meeting you and the family and showing you around. I really enjoy doing off-the-beaten-track tours like we did with the Jewish Heritage and I always welcome being spontaneous at visiting something else not on the list, makes it more interesting!
