All I can say is what a wonderful trip -
Saint Petersburg was amazing. Natalia and Albina were very
informative and knew their history. I cannot say enough
about them and their professionalism. If your going to
Russia please use them as this was the best trip I have ever
had in years. Thank you for a awesome experience. Christopher |

Dear Natalia, I am not usually the type of person that writes letters of praise, but you definitely deserve it! Both you and Albina made our trip to St. Petersburg an incredible experience. From the itinerary you chose, to both of your expertise, professionalism, and kindness, it was perfection! I recommend your services to all who want a memorable experience. Thanks again and again. Best regards to you and Albina, Paul |

Dear Natalia, On behalf of our group of 27, I would like to thank you for a fantastic tour of St. Petersburg. Everyone is still talking about what a great tour guide you are. Your 2 day tour of St. Petersburg was the highlight of our 12 day Baltic cruise. Good luck with your tour company in the future. Keep up the good work. Kind regards, Steve |

Hi Natalia: I wanted to let you know that Susan and I thought Anna did a tremendous job -- please pass along our sincere thanks to her. We were thoroughly pleased with our itinerary, and Anna's services as our guide. It's clear, though, that two days in St. Petersburg is not enough! We definitely could have spent 4-5 days there. It's a wonderful city. Sincerely, Mitch |

SAINT PETERSBURG: This is the one port of call where I would NOT recommend you try to wing it. First of all, you would have to obtain a visa to do so, and then what? You are docked in an industrial port many miles from anything you want to see, and at each attraction you will stand in line for hours while those of us on tours zip right in ahead of the throngs of independent visitors. My recommendation is that you do as we did and book a private tour. It cost us about half what the cruise line shore excursions charge (we paid $260 for 2 full days; $234 for those with student IDs and also for our octogenarian grandparents), plus we had a comfortable midi-van for 20 people with a private guide rather than a big bus with at least twice that many people being herded about. We used Natalia at Guide Guru and I would recommend her highly (feel free to mention my name): www.guide-guru.com http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=56878

Dear Natalia, Once again, thank you very much for your excellent introduction of our group to the wonders of St Petersburg. Your knowledge, choice of topics to emphasize depth of understanding, coupled with your cheerful, warm and kind personality along with the perfect English, made our experience of your marvelous city even more special. All of us greatly appreciate you and the memory will stay with us for many years to come.
Many warmest greetings and embraces from Sally and me.
Please, remember us to Serguei and give him our thanks. |

Harry Chen USA August, 2008 Crown Princess |
Hello Natalia, Thanks to you, we had a wonderful two-day introduction to the delightful sights, sounds, and tastes of St. Petersburg. While planning the Crown Princess Baltic Cruise shore excursion for our family group of ten, I had concerns about the logistics of coming up with a program that met the diverse needs of individuals whose ages ranged from 5 to 91. Well you pulled it off with resounding success! Not only were you knowledgeable about all aspects of the city and its treasures, your pleasant demeanor, attention to detail, and on-the-fly situational adjustments all came together to ensure our maximum enjoyment throughout the tour. I would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends when they visit St. Petersburg in the future. If I could make with hindsight, one small suggestion - how about carrying a few spare umbrellas in the van, as the timing of rain showers is something that\'s beyond even your powers :)
Best Regards, |

Hi Natalia, I wanted to send a quick note to let you know that I really appreciated the considerate and professional manner that you handled the needs of our large group. I still have vivid memories of the great sights and incredible history of St. Petersburg. This is all thanks to you and your guide for providing such a fascinating tour of the city and significant buildings. Emma, our tour guide, was a wealth of information and is really passionate about the city\'s history... I could have listened to her for a whole week. Thank you once again for making our two days in St. Pete\'s so memorable. Cheers and Do svidaniya, Pardeep |

Hi Natalia Well we are home again. Thank you so much for making our trip so enjoyable. I really loved Russia – so much to see and learn – in fact I am quite confused with all the information so I will have to go through my books again!! I am glad that we got our trip with you so well organised. I do not know if I will ever come to Russia again but I will definitely give your name to anyone else who might need it - including my travel agent. Enjoy your summer – I hope you will be very busy with all the tourists. Love Marion |

Hi Natalia, Thanks again for your wonderful guiding during our trip to St. Petersburg. We will be delighted to act as a reference for you, for anyone who inquires regarding using you as a guide. You were prompt, thorough, knowledgable, cheerful and a delight to tour with. We wouldn't visit St. Petersburg in any other way. |

Hi Natalia! Thank you for everything that you have organized for our visit to St Petersburg! We had a great time and had a very interesting (but too short) time with Olga at the Hermitage - she's great! Thank you also for booking the taxi's, it was wonderful not having to worry about transport to and from the hotel. We also had a very special, white new years'' on the square outside the Winter Palace. We really enjoyed our stay in Russia, and would recommend this to anyone! Have a great year, and thank you again for all your effort... Regards |
|

Hi Natalia Just a quick email to say thank you very much again for showing me Catherine's Palace when I was in St Pete. You are an excellent guide and I really enjoyed our time together. I loved your city so much that I didn't want to leave - I stayed on a day longer, in fact, so I could see more! Stay well |

Lee and Jim Fleischer |
Hello! We were with the Renteria group that was escorted around St. Petersburg on Sept. 1-3 by Natalia and Nicolai. They made a fascinating city very real to us--Natalia with her wealth of knowledge and Nicolai with his courtesy and driving skills. Our three day tour added another dimension to our cruise. |

Dear Natasha, We are back home in the states now, after one of the most wonderful trips all four of us ever had. Visiting the Baltic Capitals was a dream come true, but the Crown Jewell is, without a doubt, St. Petersburg. We realize now that despite all the pictures that one may see before visiting, and all the writings, nothing can prepare for the amazing sights that we saw in your city! Thanks to your very professional efforts we managed to get more than just a glimpse and understanding of what was truly the highlight of our trip. It was very easy to see your love and knowledge of your city, and the care that you had for us! If a city is a reflection of its habitants, then we can categorically say that the people of St. Petersburg are friendly, courageous, artistic, and above all, romantics. Only the most sensitive hearts can design and build a St. Petersburg! |

Dear Natalia, Thank you so much for the pictures...we thought the boat trip was so special and it was a great treat and certainly a highlight of our visit to St. Petersburg.....I haven't had a chance to get mine developed yet, so I hope they turn out as well as yours did....You were a wonderful guide and we appreciate your efforts so much....If you ever get to the United States, I hope you will come to Texas and we would love to show you our city... Warm regards, |

Hi Natalia, Just a word of thanks. You are one of a kind and very efficient. It was nice to have you with me in a strange environment - believe me the media in St Pete is different. Regards |

Dear Natalia, We had a good flight back to Cape Town and everything is back to normal. It is colder here than in St Petersburg! I had a total different idea of Russia and am glad I went to your country. I expected something completely different and I am sure your country will be one of the top destinations soon. You have so much to offer and such a lot of history and beautiful places to visit. I am so positive about your future!! Natalia, you were such a good guide and so helpful! We will keep in touch with you and remember, if you ever consider to visit South Africa, let me know and you can stay with us. Keep up your good work and I really hope we will see you in South Africa some day. Regards, |
