Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had the opportunity to visit StPetersburg for 7 days and lucky enough to have done several private tours including Hermitage, Carskoe selo, Peterhof, Kronshtadt, Peter and Paul Fortress with Kunskamera, night cruise and of course tour around the city with Spas na Krovi and Isaakievskiy sobor. The program was done according the weather forecast and we were provided very nice organisation. The guides were very nice all of them, and friendly. I will write a separate review for each tour, but over all : Exclusively nice and very informative and memorable.

Best guide in St-Petersburg. Deep knowledge of the history and culture. Really appreciated. Note you have to book your tours with Yuri long in advance since he is not only the best but also most popular guide.

Thanks to Mr. Nezhinsky, we were able to see the main attractions of St. Petersburg in a very short time. Yuri is a very erudite person, an extraordinary storyteller, fluent in classical literary English. In particular, I would like to emphasize his ability to work with children. He was able to interest my son in Russian classical literature. Thanks to Yuri, my 13-year-old son got acquainted with the work of Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Gogol and Korney Chukovsky. And all this happened during our walk along the streets and canals of St. Petersburg. Here Eugene escaped from flood. From here Raskolnikov, having stolen an ax from the janitor, went to the house of Alena Ivanovna. And from here the nose of Major Kovalev went to pray in the Kazan Cathedral. Imagine a modern teenager, whose imagination is formed by the visual impact of computer games, switched for a while, and turned on another imagination tied to real life. I’m deeply grateful to Yuri for his attitude to his work in general and to us in particular, and I’m going to meet with him again this year.

I can not quite remember how I got across Yuri and his services - it was some years ago and I guess I was given a recommendation. During last 4 years we took Yuri's tours several times. I am originally from St.Pete but live in Moscow since 1996 therefore it is important for our boys that they grow up understanding that St.Pete is a home town for their parents. And Yuri helps there a lot. Hermitage, Russian Museum, Pushkin and, lately, Peterhof - all tours were extremely interesting, each of them was run very professionally and kept not only the boys but also their parents engaged all the time. I can not remember a question Yuri was not able to answer. The only disadvantage of dealing with Yuri - you have to book his services well in advance. Already thinking about his "The Siege of Leningrad" tour next spring...

My wife and I came to St. Petersburg on a cruise. In 2 days, we saw and learned incredible amount and quality of information thanks to Yuri as our private guide. He is very personable, knowledgeable, and fun to be with. You will not find anyone better! We are fluent in both English and Russian, and so is Yuri - perfect. We also had time left for our own exploration at the end of each day. Highly recommend!

Yuri was a great guide. The tour we had to Peterhof was interesting and well planned. Yuri was always efficiently and elegantly combining deep knowledge, historical analysis and also sense of humour. The group loved to be guided by Yuri. Thank you!

Yuriy is a professional historian, who has a deep and broad knowledge of Russian history. Excellent English as well. Highly recommend to people who are passionate about Russian history and want to learn from a historian and a researcher of Russian history of 18-19th century. Make sure to ask questions - that's where the real interesting stories start...

We were a family of 13, visiting St. Petersburg in October 2016, and availed the services of Yuri. Booking through Elena (Yuri's Assistant) was a breeze, and everything was completed within a few days.
We visiting Petergof, Pushkin, All the sites in the city and the Hermitage museum with Yuri, and I would have to say that his knowledge and professionalism is unmatched in the field. He spoke about the history of the places, the current situation in Russia and was kind enough to assist us with everything that we could have possibly wanted in the city. I would highly recommend him, and hope to visit St. Petersburg again under his guidance. Thank you Yuri!

Добрый день. Мня интересует Экскурсия в Эрмитаж с детьми. Точнее с одним ребенком 9-ти лет, мальчик. Будем в СПб со 2 до 5 август и хотим получить такую экскурсию. Мальчик будет с бабушкой и мамой. Можете ли Вы провести для нас такую экскурсию?
