Landausflug: 2-Tages-Stadttour St. Petersburg

We had a wonderful 2 day tour with Ivan, a very competent driver and Victoria , a very knowledgeable guide, who showed us the highlights of many places.

T. J. tours have a fabulous guide in Daria B. and a steady driver in Constantine. It was a superbly executed tour at about 50% of the cost of a cruise-sponsored alternative. There were so many highlights: The Church of the Spilled Blood, The Peter and Paul Church, Peterhof, Catherine's Palace and the Hermitage. Our day was jam packed with one awe inspiring sight after another. Daria was knowledgeable about St. Petersburg's history, pleasant and organized. She keep up good pace and coped easily with minor adjustments that had to be made to the schedule. We didn't miss anything or feel too rushed. We have done two Viator tours in the last three and both exceeded our expectations.

We were treated to an amazing 2 day tour of St. Petersburg. Dmitry's knowledge of Russian history is incredible and he was very happy to respond to the tour group's questions. He also brought us to an incredible Georgian restaurant for lunch! Vladimir was a very talented driver and always on time! His van is impeccable and very comfortable. We were placed on a tour with other families with children so TJ Travel does seem to try to group tours with similarly situated guests.

St Petersburg has so much to see, and I think this tour covers most of it. Svetlana, our guide, was very knowledgeable and tried to make sure we saw as much as possible. She was able to get us into the Hermitage Museum before it opened and that was great because we avoided the crowds and were able to enjoy it. Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour with a such a great team of Nina (guide) and Vadim (driver) gave us a great experience on our two day tour. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a guided tour.

The tour was very interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable about all of the locations visited. The guide's choice for places to stop for lunch were good and a taste of Russia was interesting. I thought the tour was to include the Faberege museum, but we did not got there.

Our guide was Constantine. He was very knowledgeable and humorous. We visited all attractions and were not rushed. As a group ( 10 all English speaking) we chose a light lunch and were taken to a different local restaurant on each day. He was always there to help. TJ Travel provided necessary documents prior to arrival via email and we had no difficulty with immigration. We saved over £100 each compared with our cruise ship tour. Would definitely recommend

Tremendous effort. Cared for all our group extremely well. Olga was fabulous. Ensured a couple had a wheel chair, Michel did an excellent job. Alexander's driving was good. We were early to the Hermitage and palaces. Very little wait. Thoroughly recommend TJ travel..

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2-day tour of St Petersburg. It was everything we hoped for and more! Our tour guide, Ksenia, was very knowledgeable and provided all the information and historical background we needed to understand what we were seeing. Ksenia was able to move us swiftly through lineups, so we didn’t spend any of our tour time waiting. She was also very patient even though guiding our group must have been like herding cats at times! Our driver was Anton and he did an expert job of moving us safely from one site to another. The tour cost was very good value compared with the cruise ship tour cost. The blanket group visa worked smoothly and was never a problem. I’d also like to mention that the tour operator, TJ Travel, was very good to work with in terms of communication before our trip. They responded quickly to our inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable, personable with a wonderful sense of humour. She handled the group well and kept everyone moving and on time. I would recommend this tour to friends.

TJ travel was well organized they have representatives thru out the cruise terminal to assist us checked in. Olga our guide was very knowledgeable and provided excellent service. We visited all the sites as listed on the itinerary which covers most of the St. Petersburg highlights. We recommended this tour company to our friends and families.

2 day shore excursion in st Petersburg with a group of 12 from the same ship. It was most enjoyable, we didn’t have to wait in long queues at the hermitage museum and Catherine palace as our guide, Aitan had prebooked the time slot.

The guide was knowlegabe and covered all the ground. She kept us together not losing time looking for people. She got in and out of places without wasting time. overall the tour covered what we wanted to see.

No words that I know could describe the FANTASTIC 2 Day St Petersburg, Russia tour that my wife and I experienced. Our guide furnished thanks to TJ Tours, was Maria and she was absolutely "The BEST"!! Coupled with her great driver, Edward, we were treated like ROYALTY when it came to "Zero Waiting in Lines", positioning the shuttle with the least distance to walk, and just outstanding knowledge displayed by both. This was by far the best Shore Excursion either by the cruise line or Independent-wise we have ever taken. We will definitly schedule again through VIATOR.... The Handleys Thew Villages, FL

All logistics - visa, pick up from the cruise terminal, car, etc were very well organized. we were relatively small group of 13 people which allowed flexibility in visiting everything as planned.Our guide, Anna, was excellent, knowledgeable, fluent in English and very nice. It was very well planned 2-day tour, we saw a lot and got the real feel of this remarkable city. Anna's knowledge in art was phenomenal, and very helpful in the museums.Highly recommended.

Very packed with activities, this high quality tour touches on all the major attractions. Our guide Alexa was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to understand our interests to guide the focus of our visits. She also filled up all our travel time with great information about St. Petersburg and life in general in Russia. The transport was very nice and everything was done very professionally.

Tim our guide showed us St Petersburg through the eyes of an experienced guide and a city resident. He was thoughtful and concerned with the comfort of his guests. We saw everything our ship offered at half the price and with a small easy to get around group. Would highly recommend TJ travel.
