We used TJ Travel for our two day St. Petersburg Tour in August 2018. I can't recommend them highly enough. We had a fantastic guide, Elena, whose English was wonderful and her knowledge of Russian history, art, architecture, etc. remarkable. We had 14 in our group, had a comfortable Mercedes van, and saw so much during our tours. Elena was able to maneuver us around large groups to get us into attractions quickly, we visited the Hermitage on Monday, the day they are closed, but they allow some local tour companies in so there were no lines or crowds. Our two induced lunches were in nice restaurants and very tasty, another benefit of a smaller group. Ou driver, Andrew was very accommodating and friendly. We took a canal cruise that gave us another perspective of the city and were followed by one of the many boys who chase the boats for tips and make the cruise more fun. I could go on and on about this fantastic tour. We used TJ for our other Baltic tours too. A very professional, responsive and reasonably priced company with wonderful guides and drivers.

I took a TJ Tour of Tallinn and was glad I did. We had a small group of 10 people and our wonderful guide, Maria was able to maneuver us around the crowds while relating the history of Tallinn and also telling us many of folk stories of the area. There were 3 large cruise ships and 4 river cruises ships there that day making the small walled city extremely crowded. With Maria leading the way we were able to see everything and beat the larger groups in most spots. We also had time to spend on our own. I used TJ throughout our Baltic cruise and they were wonderful to work with and all the tours were exceptional.
