Doing what: Tour of Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) and Catherine Palace
The tour was well organised. The guide had a good knowledge and spoke excellent English. We were picked up at 10 and returned to the hotel at 2.30.
The Palace itself however was very disappointing. The rediculous Russin queing system simply doesn't work, only a few rooms of the palace were open, the Amber room is not spectacular and quite frankly the trip was not worth the expense. Spend your time in the Hermitage or Church of the Spilled Blood instead.

The guide and driver were both excellent. This is a great way to get out to Pushkin from central St. Petersburg. We learned a lot on the way to the Palace and while there. Highly Recommended.

It is not really private - there were some other people added to us.

The tour was very good except that I could not go by myself. It was always necessary to have a Russian individual accompany me. Did not feel comfortable or relaxing.

Lovely guide, very helpful and knowledgable. The 2 hours in the Hermitage acted as a great introduction to the treasures there and we would certianly have missed many highlights if we'd not had a guide. She was so good we had a trip the next day to the summer palace- another great day out. Both trips were more expensive than we would have expected which is the only reason they are not scored with 5 stars

An excellent tour with a first class guide. She explained everything well in an interesting way without overloading us with information. We chose the option that ends up with a 2 hour guided tour of The Hermitage after which you are free. So we were able to have a light lunch in their cafe and spend the rest of the day in the museum looking at things we found most interesting, returning to our hotel by trolley bus. We could easily have spent another full day in The Hermitage but had no more time.

A lovely guide who spoke excellent English and was most considerate of my needs and interests. Altogether a most satisfying trip. I was picked up and delivered back to my hotel on time with the guide and excellent driver.

Our first trip of the 3 and was a good introduction to the city. However, we found it worrying not to be able to contact anyone when we were waiting in the hotel for the guide. She was only 10 mins late but obviously there was uncertainty that our booking was secure etc so a current phone number would have been helpful.

The guide was on time and we had a car just for ourselves - that was nice. Although the guide English wasn't fantastic it was enough to learn all the rich history of the place, besides she was lovely.
