Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There's many reasons why I love travel St.Petersburg, from the tour guide, driver, type of vehicle, sights, price and many more.
I'd like to sincerely thank Ms.Anna for arranging our private tour trip. Despite the covid restrictions in Russia and the place we were coming from, we were able to push through this memorable trip. We also felt safe during the duration of our stay in Russia
Ms.Anna is well organized, fluently speaks English, knowledgeable, caring, patient and professional. Communication was never a problem since she is very responsive to emails and whatsapp messages. She offers tour options according to your budget and she is very understanding about that. Her tour pricing is reasonable and worth every penny. Ms.Anna managed to coordinate and arranged a Moscow tour for us since we were traveling from Moscow to St.Petersburg. She provided us a comfortable car, a respectful driver that is also clean and proper.
Everything was well done and executed. We were just overwhelmed with the information and history of Russia that it was hard to sink in especially the names and year. But overall, we had a the best time.
I'd also like to commend Ms.Anna for going beyond, like recommending the best place to dine in, buy souvenirs, cafes, skating rink, delivery app, etc. She is exceptional. I highly recommend her tour company. She was with us from start to finish. I am grateful knowing you Ms.Anna and I hope to see you again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your efforts and assistance. We appreciate you.

I was excited to see the room with the Rasputin conspiracy which has wax figures depicting the scene. My tour guide Anna was punctual, courteous and well informed about the Yusupov family heritage which made the tour visit very interesting. I also appreciated her consideration for my knee injury and we were able to pace my visit. I love the works of art, decor and the home theater was fabulous. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you get Anna as your tour guide.

This was my first time in Russia, and St. Petersburg was high on my priority list. After tirelessly looking for a good tour company, I stumble upon I Love Tavel St. Petersburg (ILTSP). At first, I was so skeptical because the price seemed to be better than many other companies. However, the days spent with this tour were worth every cent. First, the ease of transportation; I was not a cruise passenger, but the guys from ILTSP were so accommodating that they were able to get me from my hotel during the duration of the tour. Second, the sites visited; this tour took me to every single place I wanted to visit and much more! Third and most important, the tour guide; I had the privilege of having Maria as my assigned tour guide. Indeed all the spots visited in this tour are amazing, but they are so much better when you have a tour guide who is so knowledgeable and willing to fit everyones wishes and needs. Overall the experience was amazing, and this tour made me fall in Love with this city! I cannot wait to go back. Thank you Maria, Irina, Anna and all the great drivers who were always so punctual. LOOK NO FURTHER BECAUSE THIS IS THE TOUR TO TAKE WHEN VISITING ST. PETERSBURG.

Our guides met us at the ship, Eugene the driver and the lovely Eugenia, and we spent two fantastic days exploring their city. Eugenia’s knowledge was phenomenal...her passion for Russian history extraordinary!
We had the wheelchair accessible tour and I’d like to comment on the driver Eugene...at all times he locked down our wheelchairs and he actually put two seat belts on us. He was very thorough and professional.
My only suggestion might be too hand out a family tree or timeline of tzars and famous people, as we did find it difficult to grasp who was who.
Thankyou so much....great tour and a highlight of our cruise.

Our jovial and informative guide, Alexei ("Alex") gave us a wonderful 2 day tour of beautiful St. Petersburg, Russia. I highly recommend this tour company as they are very helpful and responsive in the emails (I had to make a change to our tour). A private tour is the best way to see St. Petersburg. My mother and I were fighting a cold virus at the time and the weather was unseasonably cold while we were in St. Petersburg. But, this tour was paced very well and we made it through. Thank you Anna, Alexei and Irina for the great service!

I Love Travel offered us this excellent and comfortable way to see SPB. As we were the only two in the group we had a driver and guide to ourselves. Both were excellent in their roles. The guide spoke perfect english and was obviously proud and knowledgeable of the city. We went to all the tourist sites and felt more comfortable than walking around the sites in a group of 30 or more. Lunch was in a small restaurant offering local food. The cost was significantly less than similar tour offered by the cruise line.

Anna, the owner, and a driver picked me up at our riverboat dock at 9:30 p.m. and we spent three hours in a well organized tour with "just the right stops" to accomplish even more than I imagined. Bring your tripod, camera, and cable release and leave the rest to; them. It was a wonderful experience!!

We were on a Holland America ship and booked a tour through this company for a day in St. Petersburg. Our guide, Anna, was over-the-top wonderful, informative, knowledgeable, and caring (she even found an open pharmacy on a holiday for me to get meds!). Everything, from the initial booking (through Viator, but next time I will go directly to their website), the pre-tour communications and visa arrangements, to on-time pick-up at the pier and all aspects working as promised throughout the day, was flawless. Skip the tours offered by the cruise lines and book through ITravelSPb. You will not be disappointed!

Our guide was simply amazing. Spoke English really well and went out of her way to inform and show us this Russian Port. We compared her to other Tours by the Norwegian Cruise and hands down less expensive and better quality. Reccomend a 100%.

Dear Anna
many thanks! We are going to be on a cruise, arriving in St. Petersburg on 23.8. a.m. and leaving 24.8. p.m. My husband uses a folding electric wheelchair.
We would like to visit the Hermitage and Peterhof and generally see the Highlights of the city. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Helga N.

Dear Helga,
Thank you for your message. Can your husband get in/out of the car on his own, or does he need a specialized wheelchair van with an electric elevator?
If he can get in/out of a car/van on his own, then you can consider Spotlight tour TripAdvisor Experiences Product code:63230P4
If a wheelchair van is required, then it should be a private tour. In our reviews page on TripAdvisor you can find website and e-mail address. On the website we have a 2-day accessible tour described. It will be easier if you e-mail us to book the tour.
Best regards,
Anna

I would like to know whether we can travel as part of a group or whether you would suggest a privat tour. Also, do we need to organise our own visa? How much would a private tour cost?
AnnaArtyushina
St. Petersburg, Russia43 contributions
Hello, thank you for your question. We have both private tours and small group tours. The choice depends upon your dates in St. Petersburg and which way you travel (arrive by a cruise ship or fly in). If you come by a cruise ship, no visa is needed, as we arrange visa-free disembarkation for our customers. If you fly in or arrive by rail, then a tourist visa to Russia is required. In this case we provide visa invitation (a.k.a. "visa support").
The cost of the tour depends upon many things: how many people take the tour (adults/students/kids), how long the tour days would be and what museums are to be included. For you to have a sample and get an idea about the costs, please check our 2-day private tour published on TripAdvisor Experiences. TripAdvisor product code: 63230P15
You are welcome with any questions (and more details)
Best regards,
Anna

St. Petersburg, Russia43 contributions
Thank you for your question. The tour you see on TripAdvisor Experiences is meant for tourists staying in the hotels, so it does not include extra charges, such as port access fees. However, the tour is available for August 23, and you are welcome to book it as a private tour separately, contacting us via e-mail/Viber/WhatsApp. Mobile/Viber/WhatsApp number is +79219318727 The Catherine Palace opens at 10 a.m., however the pick up and drop off times depend upon the entrance time cnfirmed by the Palace. This can only be finalized once the tour is booked and we make the reservation with the Palace.
You can also book the Catherine Palace tour as part of the 2-day Small Group Tour (product code 63230P2) or a private 2-day tour (product code 63230P15)

I'd like to tour St Petersburg. We are two adults and looking at arriving via round trip train from Helsinki. it would be great to spend the night. We plan on being in Amsterdam Aug 1 - 7 and flying out on Aug 28. St Petersburg would be our highlight. Definitely like to see the Amber Room and the Hermitage. Probably not interested in Fabrege, rather architecture/art/city/foods/theatre. I guess we are required to get Visas as well.

Dear Kevin, thank you for your interest in our tour services. I believ it will be better to communicate via email as I will also need to send you visa support (=visa inviation). How many days will you have in St. Petersburg? You can find our contacts in the I Love Travel St. Petersburg profile. If it is more convenient for you to correspond here - no problem. Let me know what you think. Best regards, Anna

how large are the groups for the 2 day St Petersburg tours from a cruise ship in May?
AnnaArtyushina
St. Petersburg, Russia43 contributions
Hello, our groups are not large in general: we do not make groups larger than 14 persons. On average we have 8-10 persons in our group tours. Accessible group tours have 8 persons max (including 2 wheelchair users). The minimal number of persons necessary for the tour to take place is 2, so sometimes we have semi-private tours for 4 or 6 people.
If you prefer a private tour, then there will be only you (plus guide and driver)
If you let me know precise dates, I can check, how many people have already signed up for a particular tour from your particular cruise.

Hello! Thank you for your interest to our tour services, I will be glad to help you plan and arrange everything necessary for the tours of your choice in St. Petersburg. Would you like to have a private tour just for the 3 of you, or would you like to join in a mini-group tour?
If you are a first-time visitor to our city, you can consider a private tour including the most famous sights: Hermitage, Peterhof, Catherine Palace & Amber room, Church on the Blood and St. Isaac's. A private tour from the cruise including all these sights will be 302 USD per person in a group of 3 persons. To book this tour you need to contact me via e-mail, which you will find in our profile.
You are welcome with any further questions.
