We spent one wonderful week at end of January 2005 in St.Petersburg with Anna as our guide. We wanted to experience St.Petersburg in a way that would not have been possible as part of a large tour. Anna designed an itinerary around our interests and shared her beautiful city with us. Since my husband is a hockey fan who sorely missed the season in the US this year... Anna arranged excellent seats at a hockey game in St.Petersburg Ice Palace. She satisfied our need to experience Russian winter and also see something a bit off the beaten track with a trip to Kronstadt. The beauty of the Gulf of Finland and this Naval town in winter was breathtaking. My husband wanted to visit a particular painting at the Hermitage and we spent one day there. Anna's level of attention to her client is extraordinary. She is extremely knowledgeable and always professional. You leave feeling that you have begun to understand something about the spirit of the Russian people and St.petersburg. I really can't recommend her highly enough in this note and so I would welcome requests for references.

Dear Anna,
We wanted to send along our thanks to you for making our trip to St. Petersburg a truly remarkable experience. Rather than taking tour options where passengers are crammed into buses and rushed through sites, we wanted to do St. Petersburg our way. The service and support you provided-from pre-trip planning to obtaining our own Russian visas-was easy and highly reliable. You tailored a most enjoyable tour, for just the two of us, taking into consideration what we wanted to see, but also giving us glimpses of the 'real' Russia through your amusing and fascinating stories. You clearly take pride in your city, passing along your wealth of knowledge on art, architecture and Russian history through your enthusiasm and engaging personality. One of the highlights of our trip was the evening canal cruise taken during the 'white nights' of summer. Our photos managed to capture something of that special light. We only spent two days and one night with you, but we have come away with unforgettable memories and a special place in our hearts for St. Petersburg.

We planned a trip to Saint Petersburg end November 2008 to celebrate my Ma's 75th birthday. Thanx to Tatiana this became a big success. Touring the Hermitage, the Yousoupov Palace, Peterhof, Pushkin and Pavlovsk with her was very interesting. She was very detailed in her information very enthusiastic. She loved to tell stories about the Russian Royals. If you plan on visiting this city, we strongly advice on getting a guide, especially Tatiana

We came to St. Petersburg as a graduation trip from high school for our daughter Megan and we have traveled extensively in Europe on our own. We were not especially keen on the idea of a "guide", but since we did not speak the language, we decided to engage Tatiana and "give it a try". How wonderful was our experience!!! Tatiana was so amazing! We really appreciated her exciting presentation of her city. She was always prompt and efficient in covering so many sights we wanted to see. She created an agenda that worked well for us and she even offered other suggestions of sights after getting to know us. I have told everyone I know about this website and would heartily recommend Tatiana!!!

Mr. & Mrs Y.A.Tittle have known Anna for approximately seven years. They were on a cruise in Russia and Anna happened to be their guide. They were very impressed with her knowledge of history, language skills, river cruises and walking tours. Two or three years later they returned to St.Petersburg and Anna arranged a wonderful excursion for them. She is exceptionally well versed in languages, knows much of the history of Russia, especially St. Petersburg. Andrei does the river and canal cruises, usually with Anna narrating.
My husband and I were privileged to visit Anna two years ago and Anna and Andrei (her husband) conducted a tour for us that was outstanding. Again, the knowledge of history, knowing all the beautiful palaces, the art, etc. It was a most delightful experience for us. We plan to revisit them in the near future.
We are confident if you choose Anna as your guide she will provide you with an outstanding trip. Just inform her of your interests and she will design a trip especially for you. She will also include theater, symphony, ballet tickets, car tours, etc

I can't thank you enough for such a spectacular tour of your beautiful city on Tuesday. Svetlana's knowledge of both the art and architecture was truly astounding. Despite our fatigue from an overnight train ride, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Please thank her again for us.
We'll also be sure to highly recommend your services to anyone we know who comes to this wonderful city.

Dear Svetlana,
I meant to contact you sooner but I have been quite busy since returning from our Celebrity Cruise.
My husband and I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful tour of The Hermitage. You did an excellent job!
Our two days in St. Petersburg went much too quickly. But we were so very happy to finally see your city. It has long been a dream of mine because I am a former ballet dancer and the Kirov Ballet has been of interest to me since I first saw it when I was 8 years old. I remember their visit to the U.S. and seeing the greats (Kolpakova, Markarova & Sizova).
Just driving by the Mariinsky Theatre was such a thrill for me. We hope to return to St. Petersburg in the near future for a longer and more thorough visit to your lovely, historic and fascinating city. Thank you so much for our tours. We will keep it in mind and contact you the next time we come to St. Petersburg.
The Hermitage was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
