I recently was in St. Petersburg for only two days. I contacted Guru tours to for a half-day tour at Catherine's Palace. I did the tour alone. The guide arrived early and was very professional. Ada was knowledgeable, interesting, and a wonderful individual. I found it a pleasure to be my guide. As it can be difficult to get into... More

My sister and I arrived in St. Petersburg by Allegro train and were met by our guide, Ada, and driver, Dimetri. After transferring to our hotel, Ada took us on a three hour walking ("hand-holding") tour of the surrounding area. She was also our guide for the Hermitage Museum and Catherine's and Pavel's palaces in Pushkin. It was so nice... More

We hired guide guru for a full day tour of St Petersburg and Catherine's Palace. All of the details were done online, they were very easy to work with and answered my emails very promptly. They picked the two of us up at our hotel in a very comfortable small van. Our guide was Ada and she was wonderful. Her... More

Elena, our guide, was perfect... really great understanding what we wanted and explained us everything!!! Thanks a lot for everything! More

If you want to see the city sights and not the back of people's heads as you queue again and again, then this is the way for you. If you want to visit certain places and not just follow an inflexible programme, then this is the way for you. If you want personal attention, good information and a value for... More

We visited churches, places, monuments and the amazing Hermitage. It was a great trip with very likable staff, a lot of laughing and interesting facts about St. Petersburg. I recommend everybody, who wants to do a sightseeing trip to St. Petersburg: do it with Guide-Guru Tours! We enjoyed a lot!!! More

Had a very informative Tour around St. Petersburg with a good driver, Vlad and Olga, a very knowledgeable guide. They met us by the cruising ship, very punctual, and were nice to spend time with. Unfortunately the weather wasn' t that great....so that ruined some of the day, especially the boat Tour. Got so much information that it's hard to... More

I organised a 2-day strenuous tour with Natalia, for a total of 14 people made up of 4 groups. Natalia was very attentive in the run up to the tour and always answered questions quickly. She tailored our tour to meet our needs and with the exception of the wrong meal being served on day-1, everything ran like clockwork. Our... More

Our tour guide Irina was great: pleasant and knowledgeable, very flexible. Our driver Dima was very good, too. As a result we were able to see a lot of places on our short stay (NCL "Baltic Capitals" cruise). I was also impressed with their tour director Natalia who helped us to create our tailor made program, emailed us all the... More
