Economy-economy option from Winter-Summer

Bought an excursion tour to St. Petersburg for the May holidays with departure from Kiev.

We left as planned, crossed the border without difficulties and overlays. Arrived at the hotel also without any problems. The hotel was located by local standards from the center and the connection is quite convenient: a minibus stop right next to the hotel. Breakfast - buffet - everything was enough. What I can not say about the program of the tour: the guides of the grandmother-dandelions - told interesting and original from the point of view of the indigenous people, and the same thing: during our stay we were served by two guides. The night tour completely duplicated the day tour (or vice versa) and actually told the same thing. During the announced trip to Tsarskoe Selo - Pavlovsk, in the same Pavlovsk, we did not stop "because the group decided so", although for this purpose we did about a few tens of kilometers. They waited for more than an hour for their bus near Tsarskoye Selo, because it confused the hours.

In the declared Peterhof, we were also "allowed" to walk only in the Lower Park, because it is very necessary to return, although this tour, according to the program, took a whole day, so we really did not see anything.

So, the general impression was as follows: You were taken because you asked for and are completely dependent on their desire to go somewhere or not, and not on the announced program and certainly not on the desire to organize your vacation.

I don't know if I will go with this tour operator again.

Are you ready to recommend it - only as an economical option if you do not have the money for a full tour.
