Julie and I wanted to thank you (and Sergei) once again for making our visit to St. Petersburg so memorable!! It was the high light of our trip and much credit for that goes to you!
Warren Kaplan
In early May we took a private tour with Tailored Tours of St Petersburg and had an exceptionally wonderful experience. From the start of our planning to the final drop off at our cruise ship every facet met or exceeded our expectation. Tailored Tours was very responsive to our questions, and quite flexible with the itinerary. Our personal guide Sergei was born and raised in St Petersburg, yet spoke perfect English. He was punctual each day, always polite and professional, and very knowledgeable in art history. The entire experience was completely seamless as Tailored Tours takes care of the necessary visitor visas, and purchases all the tickets to the venues visited. Transportation is provided in a comfortable passenger van and you are dropped off essentially at the door step of each venue. Sergei even knew the best way to tour each facility to avoid the crowds. We were completely satisfied with our tour and I would highly recommend Tailored Tours for any planned travel to St Petersburg.
