St. Petersburg
 
NEED info. ASAP


Has anyone used Anastasia for tours in St. Petersburg? Are they reliable and do they just rush through things or really show the sights. How long does it take to walk off the ship?

They are awesome and you don't even need a visa; they will take care of it.

We also loved our two days with Red October.

We also used Red October . The only complaint was we couldnt wander off on our own but that was because of the visa we used . The company was great , as there were 2 cruise ships in town they got us to the Palaces etc before some of the big groups . which was great .

We used Red October and had a very bad experience with our tour guide, who was overcontrolling and nonflexible. However, I do believe we are in the minority as most people we have spoken to and/or reviews we have seen were very favorable for this company. do believe it is very specific on the tour guide...ours was named Elena.
