Petersburg Guide
"Anna was an exceptional guide and had substantial skills in listening and accommodating our interest. Anna took us to some very interesting museums that were not always attended by foreign visitors. The Political Museum, The Imperial Porcelain Museum as well as the Monument to Heroic Defenders of Leningrad were intriguing. I highly recommend Anna, you could not find a better qualified person. The Art museums and Palaces as well as churches were breath taking. Four and a half days passed too quickly. Anna was with us from arrival to departure".

"Anna, Finally, we have returned home from our cruise. Our tour of St Petersburg was the highlight of the cruise!
Again, many thanks. We can not commend you, Irina and Theodore enough.
Attached are two photos I took of you and your husband - the crazy Canadian boat driver - while on our canal cruise. Enjoy!"

"Dear Anna, Just a note to thank you for a memorable tour of your city. I am still sorting through my many pictures and will be coming across some more which I will send you.
I am glad that we persisted and were not intimidated by Princess Cruises' "scare tactics" we were rewarded with your superior tour instead of the canned group tour which Princess provided.
Please find attached some pictures of you and your husband, Irena and our driver and our group".

Dear Anna,
Thanks to you and Julia, St. Petersburg became the highlight of not only my Baltic Cruise, but the month I spent in Europe. I only wish I could have spent more than three days in your fantastic city. You outlined two great days of sightseeing and gave me a real inside look at your city, the people, the food and the culture. Thank you so very much and I will recommend you to anyone who wants to see St. Petersburg, and not just the tourist sites!
Best regards,
Rene

We are pleased to say that we had a great 2 day tour of St. Petersburg with Anna and her staff. I can tell you absolutely that her service was top rate and completely reliable which was a big initial concern given all that I read on the internet and travel sites about russia. We had a family of five and it is only thanks to Anna and her staff that we were able to see so much and come to appreciate so much the complexities of life as a russian. We enjoyed our tours and had a very personable and intelligent guide. We were on a cruise and the cost of the tour with Anna was 10 times better than the "cruise" garbage tour on a bus and the cost was not much different. We love Anna and her team.

Dear Anna,
We wanted to send along our thanks to you for making our trip to St. Petersburg a truly remarkable experience. Rather than taking tour options where passengers are crammed into buses and rushed through sites, we wanted to do St. Petersburg our way. The service and support you provided from pre-trip planning to obtaining our own Russian visas was easy and highly reliable. You tailored a most enjoyable tour, for just the two of us, taking into consideration what we wanted to see, but also giving us glimpses of the real Russia through your amusing and fascinating stories. You clearly take pride in your city, passing along your wealth of knowledge on art, architecture and Russian history through your enthusiasm and engaging personality. One of the highlights of our trip was the evening canal cruise taken during the white nights of summer. Our photos managed to capture something of that special light. We only spent two days and one night with you, but we have come away with unforgettable memories and a special place in our hearts for St. Petersburg.

"We spent one wonderful week at end of January 2005 in St Petersburg with Anna as our guide. We wanted to experience St Petersburg in a way that would not have been possible as part of a large tour. Anna designed an itinerary around our interests and shared her beautiful city with us. Since my husband is a hockey fan who sorely missed the season in the US this year... Anna arranged excellent seats at a hockey game in St Petersburg Ice Palace. She satisfied our need to experience Russian winter and also see something a bit off the beaten track with a trip to Kronstadt. The beauty of the Gulf of Finland and this Naval town in winter was breathtaking. My husband wanted to visit a particular painting at the Hermitage and we spent one day there. Anna's level of attention to her client is extraordinary. She is extremely knowledgeable and always professional. You leave feeling that you have begun to understand something about the spirit of the Russian people and St Petersburg. I really cant recommend her highly enough in this note and so I would welcome requests for references."
