Customer Reviews about Peterhof Palace and Park Private Tour
- We enjoyed a special day at Peterhof with our guide Alexander who is very knowledgeable on art and Russian history. Along with Alexander we explored both the Grand Palace and Park learning so much about Russian history. He also went beyond the call of duty taking us to our destination after the tour as many roads were closed due to the Victory Parade.
- We highly recommend this tour. Everything worked wonderfully. We were picked up on time by our very nice guide (Svetlana). Svetlana was a wonderful tour guide who took us through series of palaces and gardens of Petergof. The five hours with her were very nice, we learned a lot about Russia, Saint Petersburg and of course the Petergof. Thank you for the great trip!
- AnnemiekAwesome guide with an excellent English, was able to flawlessly navigate among a crowd/mob of other travelers. We were very happy to have her, as we could not have used our time as productively as with Eva's help.
