"My group of 15 just returned from a Batlic Cruise, including St Peterburg where you arranged a 2-day tour for them. They LOVED the tour, the driver/guide, this was their favorite city on the cruise. They would highly recommend your tour company to any future guests, so I would like to say THANK YOU for all your work, patience and professional advice to make this once-in-a-lifetime trip so wonderful."

As a St. Petersburg based Government approved tour operator we specialize in Private Custom Tours and Group Value Tours for cruise passengers who want to explore St. Petersburg and/or Moscow independently from cruise ship tours. Over the last 7 years we have worked with numerous clients who travelled by all major cruise lines, including Princess, Holland-America, Silversea, Crystal, Radisson Seven Seas, Norwegian, Oceania, Royal Caribbean, Seabourn, Celebrity, Orient Lines, Costa, Discovery World, etc.

Our tours are carefully designed to give you the best possible experience of Russia. In contrast to often times overcrowded and slow-moving ship tours, our tour programs are designed based on your unique preferences and tastes. You can choose which sights to visit, how fast your tour will proceed, how much time to spend in any given museum, etc. With us your possibilities are virtually endless!

If you are visiting the area for the first time you may want to consider joining one of our Group Value Tours which are a superb introduction to the city or you may opt for a completely customizable Private Custom Tour. Regardless of the tour type you choose, our knowledgeable, friendly and fully-licensed tour guides and drivers will ensure that your time in port is spent on the activities that are engaging to you and your group members.

We know that your time is valuable and will help you make most of it. Our tour guides will get you into museums without waiting in lines to save you even more time for your Russian travel experience. Our tours are very flexible and can be further modified any way you like when you arrive in Russia.

Private Custom Tour: Choose this tour if you value privacy and complete freedom to change things on the go. With a private tour you get a dedicated tour team (tour guide and driver) and do not have to worry about persuading other group members to follow your preferred itinerary.

Many people seek to add more people to their private tour to lower the cost and just to get great company. We will gladly arrange such combined tours but we do not offer any matchmaking service. It is our policy not to judge who is the best party to join your tour - because the best judge of your own interests is you! You may use such popular internet forums as CruiseCritic, CruiseChat and CruiseMates to find cruisers on your ship who have the same interests as you. YOU WILL NEED TO POST YOUR TOUR SHARE POSTS IN THE ROLL CALL SECTIONS ON THESE FORUMS.

Group Value Tour: This tour will appeal to those cruise passengers who value the ability to tour independently for less than the cost of the Custom Tour. Our 2-day "St. Petersburg Delight" Value Tour includes all star-sights of St. Petersburg and the area and is based on numerous feedback received from former clients. The groups are limited to a maximum of 20 guests which ensures we can move quickly through museums and none of your questions go unanswered. The only limitation of this tour is that you will not be able to customize the itinerary and will have to share this tour with other people.

You do not need to get individual tourist visas if you go on our tours. This will save you money (about $150/pp), time and headache going through the Russian visa application process.

However, if you prefer to have the visa we will handle all necessary visa formalities and will send you the necessary forms to obtain them. Unlike other tour companies charging up to $50 per person for the visa invitations, we do not charge anything for the official visa invitations we will send you. All you will need to pay is the processing fee at the Russian Consulate in your area.
