Had a great tour with Anastasia of Marina Wilson Tours. She and our driver, Alexander, showed us every sight to be seen during our stay. She was a fountain of knowledge and could answer every question we had for her. Alexander could not only drive, but he SURE COULD park. They picked us up promptly each morning and delivered on the ambitious schedule that was planned for us. Touring was made so much easier by being able to skip the lines. The tour included all the major sights one must see in St. Petersburg as well as some that were lesser known and off the beaten path. Lunch each day was in a local restaurant with local fare. We highly recommend this excellent tour and would use Marina Wilson Tours again.
