We found Olga via a Tripadvisor forum and she took us for the day to Catherine's Palace and Pavlosk. Olga was very thorough and professional in confirming to us via email ahead of time and she was on time on the day. She is very knowledgeable about the history of St Petersburg and her English is perfect. We had a great day and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to other visitors to St P.

We found Olga online through some research and she also had amazing TripAdvisor reviews. After speaking with her about our upcoming trip and interests, she helped us put together an unforgettable experience. We toured many palaces, museums and streets in the comfort of a fully air-conditioned car while driving around the hot days of St. Petersburg in August. She was very efficient in making sure we saw as much as possible during our trip and was great at accommodating even lunches for a vegetarian no matter what area we were in. It's definitely had to be a vegetarian in Russia! She is extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and arts and was perfect in her English - it would have been a lot less interesting to not have her as a tour guide as there is a big language barrier when visiting museums. We toured with her for 2 days and she gave us advice on what to do the 1 day we didn't want to do a full day of touring which was really nice of her. We highly recommend her to all!

Olga demonstrated a professional attitude at all times and had an extensive knowledge of St Petersburg. She also knew the best places to eat and we felt more than satisfied with our whole experience. We know we made the best choice with Olga. Thank you.

Olga was a resourceful guide who was able to make adjustments to my ever-changing requests while visiting St Petersburg (2 days cruise ship stop). She was very efficient in getting us into museums and churches, often at the head of the line. She provided a wealth of information in answer to every random question. In addition to visiting the 'standard' iconic sites of St Petersburg, she took us to restaurants which gave us the opportunity to sample tasty traditional Russian food and heritage coffee/pastery shops. Moreover, she took us to some less known but well attended churches. Looking for a particular souvenir item, she took us to a number of 'gift' shops to help us in our search, assisted with postal services, arranged for the driver to pick us up after an evening at the Mariinsky and take us back to the cruise ship. We very much enjoyed the 2 days with Olga and her excellent driver. They were knowledgeable, accommodating, helpful and fun to be with. We felt we were with family friends who were able to show us more than the standard tour of St Petersburg. Highly recommended.
