"A great introductory tour to cover a massive city such as St. Petersburg! Yes, it is rushed but we were aware of this. Our desire was to see as much as possible in a very short time."

Sequence and timing of sightseeing may vary based on congestions at venues, capacity allowances mandated by museums, and museums' closing days or other logistical issues, however the content will always remain as confirmed.
