| As many of you would know, if you're looking at this site, privately arranged tours are definitely the way to travel when on cruise ship. After taking a couple ship tours, we decided we'd likely never again want to be herded around in a large group, often not being able to hear the guide, not being given enough time to look or shop - because someone in the group has been lagging behind, visiting just the same tourist areas that everyone else goes to, and often, being taken to places of business that the cruise ship has "arrangements" with. Should you be looking for a private tour in St. Petersburg, or need assistance with any other port in the region, you will not be in any way disappointed with this company - by far and away, the very best... |  |

| I was introduced to Alex's Tours & Travel by very good friends about two years before I actually traveled to Russia. Moscow and St. Petersburg custom tours arranged by Alex & his team far exceeded our expectation. Our private guides in St.Petersburg and Moscow were excellent... |  |

Words cannot really express how pleased Darlene and I were with our private tours of St. Petersburg and we agree that certainly Kristina is one of the most excellent St. Petersburg English speaking tour guides. By the end of day number three we felt like family and miss not seeing her smiling face in the morning. She is personable, animated, knowledgeable, adaptable, and possesses unique communication skills...

Ludmila did a superb job of organizing our 3 day private tour in St Petersburg. Everything I asked for was included and some extra things as well. The private tour guide chosen, Nadya, and the driver, Andrei, were splendid. Andrei knew endless 'rat runs' to avoid traffic, and he was always, almost miraculously, able to park where we wanted. Nadya was charming and knowledgeable as well. She understood our personalities and engaged with us very nicely. I think she would be especially good with British tourists- everyone, really...

Choosing Alex Tours has been an excellent decision from the start. Alex answered our email enquiries without delay and provided the necessary invitation for visa application. Our wonderful guide Elena and driver Vlad made sure that we got the most out of our 5 days in St Petersburg. The itinerary was perfectly balanced between the must-sees and customized activities...

I want to express my sincere thanks for all of the wonderful arrangements you made for our recent trip to St. Petersburg and Moscow. We loved the Swan Lake performance at the Hermitage theater. We found the first class seating on Sapsan train that you recommended to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience. To top all of that, however, the highlight of our trip to Russia was our visit to Moscow and our incredible tour guide...

Everyone in the group was extremely happy with our St. Petersburg shore excursions and asked me to convey their thanks to you for organizing everything so well. Kristina was a wonderful private guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining as well. She was truly the best tour guide we had not only during our 2 day private tour of St.Petersburg in particular, but during our Baltic cruise in general!

My primary purpose in writing this to you is to thank you again for the fantastic tour of St. Petersburg you arranged for our 50th Anniversary party of eleven people in early July. We could not have had a better guide and driver than Inna and Alexander. Being able to complete all the sightseeing we did in our limited two days with them without ever having to wait in line was totally unexpected and appreciated. Our seats at the ballet were great and the performance was beautiful. Both Inna and Alexander were always up-beat, friendly and anxious to help. Inna's knowledge of St. Petersburg is truly outstanding and the love she has for the city contributed to our enjoyment of her clear presentation of the history of each site we visited. Our tour with Alex's tours group was definitely the highlight of our entire trip and we do most sincerely thank you for making it just that! ...

We have been to St Petersburg three times now and have used Alex and his tour service each time. The last time was last year when we did the Baltic Cruise on Princess with three friends. We think that being on a private shore excursion in St. Petersburg is the best way to explore it. Alex, his St.Petersburg private tours, guides, and drivers are top notch. They are extremely professional, reliable, willing to please, and will try to meet your needs in anyway they can...

After flying from St Petersburg via Moscow, Adrian and I met with Anna as planned. We continued with a most excellent private tour as you had proposed and arrived back at the airport in good time to fly back to St Petersburg without any anxiety...
