Trip "Allie Sails!
Hello! I wanted to share a story about a trip to St. Petersburg "Scarlet Sails". I read a lot of reviews criticizing the travel agency "Kuznetsky Most" and decided to write. The trip was wonderful. The bus was air conditioned and had a TV. Sanitary stops every 2-3 hours. Accompanying guide Tatiana was very friendly and tolerant, which can not be said about the tourists who were always dissatisfied with something. There was an invited guide on the sightseeing tour, and those people who wanted to learn something new about the history and the city of St. Petersburg had a lot of fun.
I advise everyone to watch the Scarlet Sails show on TV, because such a large number of people does not make it possible to see anything at all, and you can watch the fireworks from anywhere and not choke on the bridge. You will not see a ship with Scarlet Sails, unless you take a seat 10 hours before the show. It's not worth it. Better take a tour of the canals in St. Petersburg or some other tour. Get a lot more fun.
What can be said about the hotel. The hotel "Baltiets" was located outside the city and it was problematic to leave it on your own, but the rooms were clean, there was hot water, clean linen, a TV. On the territory there was a dining room with a "buffet" for 260 rubles, you could have dinner without frills, but tasty and satisfying. By the way, that the hotel was outside the city, it was known earlier (which inattentive tourists were terribly indignant at). Thanks to Tatyana for organizing all the excursions in Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo, despite all the negativity and the hordes of tourists.
And for tourists who are going to go on BUS TOURS, and even more so for DISCOUNT coupons, I want to say that you don’t need to be indignant and stomp your feet when you have an economy class hotel, there is no toilet on the bus, etc. JUST NEED understand that these are ECONOMY tours. And if you want individual excursions, breakfast with a view of the Palace Square, etc. THEN, YOU, on another trip for other money.
Gentlemen, just enjoy the wonderful city of St. Petersburg and its history. Leave your bad temper and eternal discontent at home, at least for a couple of days.
