"I am also sending our thanks to you for the superb guidance and care with which you hosted our two days in St. Petersburg. It was a phenomenal visit in every regard and we have returned to the U.S. with so many treasured memories. Thank you for enabling us to fit in so many sights and for helping us get the most out of everything we saw with your marvelous narrations".

    "We planned a trip to Sint Petersburg end November 2008 to celebrate my Ma's 75th birthday. Thanx to Tatiana this became a big success. Touring the Hermitage, the Yousoupov Palace, Peterhof, Pushkin and Pavlovsk with her was very interesting. She was very detailed in her information en very enthusiastic. She loved to tell stories about the Russian Royals. If you plan on visiting this city, we strongly advice on getting a guide, especially Tatiana".

    Irina was our friendly, wonderful tour guide in St. Petersburg. Not only did she speak perfect English, her knowledge of not only main attractions, but little known facts of the local areas was most impressive! She has a good sense of humor and made our tours educational, fun and not the usual boring brochure type tours. She knows her history and has a sincere interest in what you want to see on your visit!
I highly recommend her and wish I could find a tour guide like her for Greece!

    I'm privileged to add my warm recommendation regarding the excellent guide Irina Kruglova. A year ago, during a wonderful trip to Saint Petersburg (and then on a ship to Moscow) of a group of Israelis (writers and intellectuals), Irina was our Saint Petersburg's guide, performing a professional, knowledgeable, decent, sincere and good English qualities. Since then I've recommended other friends of mine to ask the guidance of Irina.

    Irina is a very sensitive person and took great care to accommodate all our needs while in St Petersburg. Her English is excellent, in fact we asked if she was an English girl working in St Petersburg. We had a wonderful time because of our well informed guide Irina.

    Irina is a talented, energetic, and most knowledgeable guide. Her kind and easy going disposition makes her guests feel comfortable, while her patience and tenacity allows her to fix problems when they may arise. I was on a tour with Irina along with ten other academics, many of whom knew the city and Russia culture well. Irina wowed us all. She invited commentary from those of us who might know of the region, while always being able to offer new insight to us. She was respectful of needs of her clients to rest or take a break, but she was also always ready with more commentary, related stories, or historical anecdotes. Her factual knowledge is most impressive, and she presents that knowledge in a warm and accessible manner. Her English is impeccable, and I most highly recommend her as a guide. She made our trip to St. Petersburg truly enjoyable and all the richer.

    We were a group of university people from all over Europe and North America, all more or less experienced travellers, but St Petersburg and Irina as our tour-guide surpassed our expectations. Irina×?Ts local expertise, fluent English and eager attitude made possible two truly edifying and unforgettable days in this fascinating Russian city.
    We visited St Petersburg to see our son who was studying there for twelve months, and wished to see some of the history St Petersburg in just a few days. Irina was our guide for the three days and through her knowledge and passion she brought to life St Petersburg, Peterhof, Pushkin, St Isaac's, the Hermitage and The Church of the Spilt Blood. She recommended an excellent restaurant serving traditional Russian food. As our guide Irina was very punctual, and had an excellent understanding of the English language, and even understood our English sense of humor!!!

    Thank you Irina for making our trip to St Petersburg so interesting and meaningful. It was wonderful to have a guide who did not mind being asked questions and you always had the answer at your finger tips! Your excellent English made the tours run so smoothly and was appreciated by everyone in our group. We wish you every success for future tours, the groups who have you for their guide will be lucky.

    Svetlana
    I have more pictures of the amber room which I shall send to you. I have been in touch with Alexei to let him know how delighted we were with you as our guide. I hope that he has been in touch to pass on our thanks. We hope one day to come back to St Petersburg.

    Dear Svetlana,
I meant to contact you sooner but I have been quite busy since returning from our Celebrity Cruise.
My husband and I wanted to thank you again for a wonderful tour of The Hermitage. You did an excellent job!
Our two days in St. Petersburg went much too quickly. But we were so very happy to finally see your city. It has long been a dream of mine because I am a former ballet dancer and the Kirov Ballet has been of interest to me since I first saw it when I was 8 years old. I remember their visit to the U.S. and seeing the greats (Kolpakova, Markarova and Sizova).
Just driving by the Mariinsky Theatre was such a thrill for me. We hope to return to St. Petersburg in the near future for a longer and more thorough visit to your lovely, historic and fascinating city. Thank you so much for our tours. We will keep it in mind and contact you the next time we come to St. Petersburg.
The Hermitage was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't thank you enough for such a spectacular tour of your beautiful city on Tuesday. Svetlana's knowledge of both the art and architecture was truly astounding. Despite our fatigue from an overnight train ride, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! Please thank her again for us.
We'll also be sure to highly recommend your services to anyone we know who comes to this wonderful city.

    We arrived back in Australia earlier this month and would like to express our gratitude for the excellent travel arrangements you put in place for us. Svetlana our tour guide was an excellent ambassador for your own organization and your City, and Svetlana's mastery of Russian history was something to admire.
    Our group of 8 spent two of the most interesting and enjoyable days of our quite wide travels and in thanking all of you we would also like to commend you to any Australians who may choose your services in St Petersburg

    "We have finally returned from our travels, and would like to thank you for ensuring that we made the most out of our time in St. Petersburg. Svetlana was informative, kind and flexible... and gave us a good idea of what the city was all about. It was truly a memorable two days. Please pass on to her how much we enjoyed the tour. Thanks again.
Aloha!"

    Dear Anna and Julianna,
Thank you very much in helping make my friends' stay in St Petersburg very enjoyable. They had a fantastic time. They really enjoyed their tour.

    Dear Anna,
Thanks to you and Julia, St. Petersburg became the highlight of not only my Baltic Cruise, but the month I spent in Europe. I only wish I could have spent more than three days in your fantastic city. You outlined two great days of sightseeing and gave me a real inside look at your city, the people, the food and the culture. Thank you so very much and I will recommend you to anyone who wants to see St. Petersburg, and not just the tourist sites!

    Anna,
We got back home this week and wanted to send you a quick email thanking you for arranging a great tour for us. We were able to see so much in the 2 days we were there. Inna was a wonderful guide, very knowledgable, and fun. We enjoyed our time touring with her and the flexibility that was allowed with our schedule. We only wished we had more time to see more sights. Thank you again for our tour.

    You were an excellent guide Kate and can be very proud of yourself... You were a pleasure to see each morning, always so cheerful and happy. Your tours with us were incredibly informative and I was very impressed with everything you showed, told and arranged for us... Stay as charming as you are my dear and you will go far in life...
