Good day to all! My husband and I went to St. Petersburg on December 29 - January 5. At first they doubted, because they had never heard anything about Selena Tour before, and the first review here was not very good, but still they thought that the world is not as bad as it seems, and decided to take a chance :) We never regretted it. Julia from Selena-tour is an excellent manager and just a nice person :) All issues were resolved quickly. The daily transfer was almost painless, the bus was good. Customs in connection with the holidays passed very quickly. Petersburg itself was great! Hotel Pribaltiyskaya 4 stars - excellent, breakfasts - normal, excursions - interesting, lunches and dinners - excellent, we didn’t even spend money on lunches :) Due to the difference in time and climate, there was some acclimatization, it’s very hard to get up when it gets light starts at 10 (!!!) in the morning, so we got a little tired during the day and in the evening to climb around St. Petersburg, after the main excursions, we didn’t really want to, we walked around the city at night only on New Year’s Eve, it was enough for us :) I was very impressed with Tsarskoye Selo, in the last day of the tour, especially the lyceum-museum where Pushkin studied, the Decembrists. .. He was not in the mandatory program, we went there ourselves. It is very, very impressive, I repeat - to see with my own eyes the rooms where such great people lived, the desks at which they sat, drafts written by Pushkin's hand, drawings. . . All in all, I definitely recommend visiting! To summarize - Selena-tour, well done, they fully met our expectations, and accommodation, food, and excursions - everything was at the highest level. Also a big thanks to the bus drivers, they are just smart :) If we are going on a long journey, we will definitely contact Selena-tour :)
