We used the Red October tour company based on recommendations from friends. They were indeed a first class experience. We had a family group of eight led by Helen, who is an excellent guide and a wonderful speaker of the English language. Our driver Vladimir was also tops. We were with the for two days and took their standard tours.... More

Using Red October to tour St. Petersburg, Russia, is the only way to go. While a little expensive, they are well worth the price. Our tour guide, Helen, was a native, who spoke excellent English. She was very professional and very knowledgable about the local history. She communicated through headphones so it was easy for all to hear clearly. We... More

We had enjoyed the the experience on all the interactions we had with Red October staff starting from the inquiries (prompt responses within 24 hours (due to time difference)), the tour itinerary, tour guide (Helen) spoke excellent English and extremely knowledgeable...

We chose Red October based on recommendations from friends. They use a van so that you are not in a large group. There were 10 of us, 3 couples from Singapore, 1 couple from Canada and we were from the USA (Florida). I found it interesting that we were from different parts of the world and chose Red October based... More

We had 2 days to see St. Petersburg & I didn't think we could do it. Our guide, Helen, did such a great job that we felt we not only saw St. Petersburg but we left the city feeling like we were leaving our 2nd home. She knew the facts, she knew the people & she knew how to bring... More

Red October gave our group of 8 an incredible (2) day tour ! We were in St. Petersburg, Russia on August 8 - 9, 2011. Helen was our tour guide. We especially appreciate the great use of our time.....no wasted time, no waiting in long lines, seamless transition from one activity to the next. Red October far exceeded our expectations.... More

All our excursions we had planned we perfect and all recommendations given by Helen and Red October were great. I would highly recommend this company if... More

In August, 2010, we & 2 other couples booked a 2 day tour of St. Petersburg, Russia. If it were not for Mike Finn, the U.S. contact for RO, I seriously doubt we would not have had such a successful adventure. In less than an hour after we had emailed Mike a request for a written proposal, Mike sent us... More
