We booked with TJ Tours, excellent value and all the sights plus the Feberge Museum in the evening. We were amazed to be upgraded from our expected tour with a group, to a private tour. Anna our guide and Alexander our driver were totally professional, very knowledgeable about St Petersburg and a delight to be with for two days. Anna took us to all of the key sights, managing crowds well, so that we had a good experience. Alexander found the best places to park and was always there ready for us when we finished. The tour booking by email was straightforward, there were regular email updates from the company. No money was paid until the end of the second day. We paid by credit card and it was as expected. The meal on the first day was fantastic, Russian vegetable soup and beef stroganoff. The second day in the city, we ate in a fascinating restaurant, but I didn't like the food quite as much, although my husband was very happy to eat mine as well as his! Overall excellent in all respects.
