Travel agency: Селена-тур (Kyiv) Service type: экскурсионный тур |
My wife and I took a seven-day tour to St. Petersburg for white nights. I will say right away - in terms of the ratio of quality to price, the trip exceeded expectations. If you plan an independent trip (which we did at the beginning), then you have to take care of many components of a good holiday - travel (flight), accommodation, excursions. If you go for the first time - it's better not to risk it (as we did). And they didn't fail.
The excursion program turned out to be even oversaturated. We can say that we saw all the main sights (see the tour program). Some excursions were offered optionally, I will say right away - you must agree to everything, especially if you are going for the first time. The conditions in the hotel (on Krestovy Island) are acceptable, especially considering that we only came there to sleep. I liked the double meal too.
After the planned excursions in the evening (although the concept of the evening is conditional), there is a lot of free time to wander around the center. Personally, we also managed to go to the theater.
Let's get personal. I would like to note the excellent work of the guide around the city, Elena Nikolaevna, who filled all the pauses in traffic jams with interesting stories about literally every building, not to mention deep excursions into history. Separately, I note the care of the accompanying Irina.
The disadvantages include the lack of coffee and tea on the road, which we bought in roadside cafes. Well, in general, it would be nice to do a completely similar tour with an air flight (even if it will be more expensive), since the road by bus is tedious by definition.
In summary, I can say that we were very satisfied.
