General Questions

Is your company licensed?
Our company is licensed tour operator authorized to provide all types of tours for foreign guests visiting the city. We are approved by the Russia Federal Agency for Tourism and you may find us in the list of the official tour operators. Our register number is MBT 005252.
Why should I take your tour instead of ship sponsored tours?
There are several obvious advantages:

~ On our tours you could be more flexible and mobile: our guides are always open to any questions and suggestions and if time and actual situation in the city permits – you may always make some minor adjustments after discussing it with your guide.

~ We admit that quality is better than quantity – we prefer smaller parties for our tours (even on our group tours of up to 10 people maximum), thus providing personalized attention to every guest. Be sure, you will not be “squeezed” into large bus with yet another 50 passengers (as in case with the cruise line tour) moving as slow as you cannot even imagine.

~ Comparing to cruise lines, our tours are very modestly priced, which was acknowledged by many of our guests.

So, it is up to you to choose the comfort and convenience of our tours VS hustles and buzz of cruise ship excursions!
What are your guarantees for customers?
The best proof of our reliability and trustworthy is our happy and satisfied clients. We always work hard to deliver what we promise and keep the good reputation of our company. We have no slightest intention to mislead any of our customers and interested in meeting and accommodating our guests properly as much as they are interested in a good tour. No show up in port on our end is simply impossible. Sending you the tour tickets, and reserving all admission tickets to museums (partly pre-paying them from the funds of our company) we are obliged to appear at the meeting hall and pick up the guests. With us you are guaranteed to have:

~ All necessary papers required for your VISA-FREE disembarkation
~ Timely meeting at the ship (or lobby of the hotel - for air/rail guests) by our guide
~ Safe and comfortable transportation with a skilful and courteous driver
~ Licensed and experienced guide
~ Admissions (inside guided tours) to all sights and all conditions reflecred on your itinerary
~ Timely return back onboard/hotel
