We did not wait in line anywhere and when we exited an attraction, the driver was always waiting right there for us as Andrey had called him as we were finishing. Andrey's... More

What a privilege to have Andrey as a guide. Being in a place like St Petersburg, with no knowledge of the language can be very daunting. Andrey made it all so easy for us. He was always waiting for us, his drivers were excellent and english speaking and he was very obliging when it came to changing plans or doing... More

Our visit to the important sites in St Petersburg in June 2011 could not have been bettered. Andrey and his driver picked up our group of four at the new cruise liner terminal and whisked us off on our two-day tour. We felt safe and secure the entire time and had bottled water and umbrellas at our disposal. We visited... More

We were recommended to Andrey by friends who were guided by him some years ago. My wife and I booked him for 2 days, and were surprised and delighted when he contacted us before our arrival to say that as he had to be at the airport at the time of our arrival, he would take us to our accommodation...

Andrey has a great background in Art, Art History, Architecture and History. His guidance made our tour of the Hermitage much more valuable than if we had gone un-guided, or tired to go with a large group. His English is excellent and his familiarity with American mannerisms was really helpful. I would highly recommend using his services. More

Andrey is a walking dictionary of St Peterburg's both past and present. His English is great and his knowledge is uncomparable. Along with his driver, Andrey was able to save us so much time by getting through quickly to the front of lines, waiting for us by the exits, knowing where the clean restrooms were and taking shortcuts on the...
