River cruise was great Read Less

Border control very uncommunicative. We had a tour booked, saw the sights and shortly after returned to the ship. Read Less

OK....Admit it....this is the reason why we take this cruise. St. Petersburg is amazing. We spent 2 days at this port which allowed us to see more things than we could imagined! We booked a tour with a private tour company and had a small van with 16 people that had free wifi to take us in and around the city. The tour company took us on a ride on the subway and had a boat ride on the Neva River. All-Tours was amazing! Highly recommend! They go out of their way to make your visit to St. Petersburg a trip you will never forget. Read Less

So many beautiful buildings Read Less

What an amazing city, we did 3 tours over the 2 days in port, the highlight was definitely the evening visit to The Heritage and the concert- well worth the money. The other 2 tours were greatly enhanced by 2 excellent tour guides Read Less

Great to see the city from the water and get a different perspevtive. Read Less

We chose to visit the bath house and upper and lower gardens so it was a little more relaxed and very interesting. Read Less

The venue was a very old theater, and the seats were pretty uncomfortable. However, the quality of the ballet was superb! Read Less

St. Petersburg is beautiful. We toured with SPB on their 2-day Deluxe tour. We saw all of the main hi-lights and wished we could have spent more time at Peterhoff. Read Less

Part of the Catherine palace tour on our Grand 2 day tour. Incredible and overwhelming the amount of money the Romanov's spent. Read Less

A FULL 2 day tour with 12 other people to many of the St. Petersburg churches and palaces. Read Less

We booked a local guide on the “Tours by Locals” website. We used Irina P, who was stellar and a private driver. Efficient and informative - did not stand in lines and had wonderful meals. We paid the same price for the 2 day private tour as we would have paid on the ship’s group 2 day tour. Read Less

We booked our own 2 day excursion for less than half the price of the ship. It was through Viator and the tour itself was City Break Tours. It was a really good time. Read Less

Unbelievable presentation! Read Less

Wife's absolute favorite church anywhere. Read Less

Second visit to the Hermitage which has to be experienced to believe. Read Less

First river cruise taken in Russia, another great experience. Read Less

Site of Rasputin's death which I always (incorrectly) took place in the cellar of a warehouse. Read Less

We took an excursion with cruisingexcursions.com. This was much cheaper than Princess and we visited the underground, the Catherine Palace, peterhoff Gardens, Hermittage Museum, Church of the Spilled Blood, Peter and Paul Fort and went on a hydrofoil. This tour was half the price of the Princess equivalent and a visa was included. Read Less

Beautiful and grounds were lovely Read Less

Great history, tour guide was very informative Read Less

Great two days. Saw a lot. Read Less

Joined this cruise to see St Petersburg - it was totally worth it! We used ALLA tours, which were just as good as everyone recommended. Getting through Immigration and Customs was no different to anywhere else. People on the streets and at venues were friendly and we didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere. If we go again I would feel very comfortable getting a visa and taking myself off the ship. Read Less

Fascinating place, but very crowded so difficult to see everything. Read Less

Only saw from outside - very beautiful church Read Less
