Hmmm, I think it was their tour #1, but in any event, they have one-day and two-day combinations. The website is www.alla-tours.com - take a look - all of their guides speak excellent English. In one day we saw so much: Catherine's Palace, the Peterhof Gardens & Fountains, the Hermitage Museum, the subways and Nevsky Propekt, the Neva River and various surrounding areas, fountains, statues, etc etc. We really liked that our tour group was just us - they did add one other couple (with our approval) so we had a total of 12. We got back to the ship around 6:30 pm; others might add an evening tour, too, but we were exhausted and happy to relax on board.

Sheesh, me again! The website is www.alla-tour.com, without the "s" at the end. I always get that messed up.

We just returned from a cruise on Norwegian Sun and booked a private tour for St. Petersburg with SPb Tours ( http://spb-tours.com). It was wonderful! We did the 2 day tour with a guide and driver. It was cheaper than the ship's version of the same tour and there were only 4 of us on it! I was surprised that the photo on the web site of Viktoria is actually a "real person." She met the groups who booked with her company right outside Customs. When the tour was over, she greeted each returning tour to find out how they liked the tours. Karen
