First time I went to SPB with my then-teenage daughter we had a tour with Anna( who works with Best Guides now). We went to Hermitage, to Spilled Blood Church, and both enjoyed it !! I myself was impressed how easy and interesting she, Anna, made it for my girl ( and you know how nasty teen girls can be..)... More

Last September my husband and I spent 5 days in St. Petesburg and Anna Avdeyeva of ‘Best Guides’ was our full time guide. She was efficient and very pleasant and her local knowledge enabled us to fit in visits to all of the sights we had hoped to see. We would definitely recommend Ana as a guide for anybody wishing...

Our friends and my wife and I were taken to all the major St Petersburg sites in 2 consecutive days with everything excellently organised beforehand. We were collected by Masha and her driver on time and taken everywhere. Her knowledge of both history and art was unsurpassable. The Hermitage Museum is unmissable. There is some fairly easy walking at Peterhof... More

I have been taking groups to St Petersburg for three years now and heartily recommend Anna Avdayeva of Best Guides Group as a tour guide and organiser. She is charming, efficient and very knowledgeable about the history, culture and tour sights of her city. She has organised not only the visits but also transport, including transfers to/from hotels. I gave... More

I wish Best Guides were in every city I've visited- they truly made our trip to St. Petersburg! Masha was our primary guide, who we immediately felt comfortable with. She's charismatic, very well educated and speaks wonderful English. Masha coordinated 3 days of tours for us, tailoring it to our preferences and interests, including a wonderful day trip to Novgorod... More

I could not recommend this tour highly enough. To research for a book I required a highly specialist tour with access to some exclusive ballet theatres and academies and Best Guides was able to do this for me, as a consequence of their tireless effort and dedication. I was advised very capably by Anne and was fortunate to be guided... More

Best Guides conducted a private tour for our 6 person group. We traveled on a cruise ship and Best Guides was not available through the ship. We located them independently. They were able to process our paperwork in just a couple of days. We had no problem getting off the ship and through Customs with it. Best Guides was totally... More

My husband and I have recently been to St. Petersburg and it was the best trip we have had in many years. My nice friend gave me the contacts of the guide (her name is Masha) she liked when she travelled to St. Petersburg 4 years ago. When I contacted Masha she told me that lately she had set a... More
