Thinking of taking the Jewish Tour in St Petersburg end of June. Anyone try it? Feedback.
In addition if I only have one other day, what is most important to see in the city?

I see no one has posted a reply yet so I'll share some ideas although I'm a guide in St. Petersburg so I have slightly different, than a tourist, point of view)
St. Petersburg is amazing and very easy to enjoy. I usually recommend to see the gems:
The Hermitage
Church on the Spilled Blood
Rivers and Canals tour
City tour
All this can be done in 1 day and from my experience these tours are top popular and never get bad reviews.
However, if you're not really into art or if you are in St. Petersburg on Monday when the Hermitage is closed I would advise going to Catherine's Palace in Pushkin to see the famous Amber room (also known as the 8th wonder of the world).
As for a feedback on Jewish St. Petersburg tour, guess someone will leave a feedback soon (or there may be some review on Trip Advisor)
Hope I've been helpful!
At our request, Red October included a tour of the Great Synagogue; I don't remember reading about any other Jewish sites.
Well, abram, you're right, mostly the tour companies just include the visit to the Grand Choral Synagogue but there are some compamies offering theme tours dedicated to Jewish heritage in SPb. May be that's what clove7524 is talking about.
