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.

    The genocidal siege of Leningrad by Nazi Germany, for more than 28 months from 1941-1944, caused the death of nearly 3 million Leningrad citizens and Russian soldiers; the invasion was a key formative event in Russia's view of the world today. The trams moved food, other goods and people around the city during the siege. The Nazis deliberately bombarded electric power generating stations to shut down the trams and everything else, resulting in widespread starvation and even a little cannibalism. Even so, the Russians eventually ejected and defeated the invading Nazi army, truly remarkable under the circumstances. In the windows of this tram, you can see actual photos from the siege of people walking next to inoperable trams and dragging dead bodies through the snow. Nearby, along Prospekt Stachek, you can see a tank that participated in the defense of Leningrad, several concrete bunkers that housed defensive artillery, and the Krasnenkoe Cemetery holding many victims of the siege and some Heroes of the Soviet Union from the war. Of course there is a wealth of textual and image material on the siege on the internet.

    I used this reliable taxi company during my stay in St Petersburg. The service is highly professional, punctual and quite pleasant. Nikolai and my driver, Irina, went out of their way to make sure I had a reliable service and get on time whenever I needed. Their cars are clean, comfortable and both are very friendly and pleasant people to be with. I highly recommend their service. Booking and paying online is very easy. You can book well in advance and pay online which saves you the hassle of thinking how much money you will need. A locally owned business that does not disappoint!!!! Thank you irina and Nikolai.

    Lovely train from Moscow to St Petersburg. Minimal service, some attendants speak English which is always a plus! Comfortable duvet. Remember to bring ear plugs or headphones if you don't want to hear your neighbor snoring and pull down the window shades during summer as the sun comes up at 0430hrs.

    Why would you fly when you can take this train – fast, comfortable, quick immigration processing on the train, central departure and arrival. We bought our tickets on line several months in advance on the Russian RZD website with no problems, first class was only about 8,500 roubles per person and included a very good breakfast. Extremely comfortable and spacious seats. But standard class looked very good also.
    Just be aware that there is a separate Allegro lounge at the railway station, which is off to the side from the main entry. Our taxi (Yandex) dropped us at the main entry and it was only after we had put our luggage and ourselves through security screening and I mentioned Helsinki to one of the officials, that they pointed us in the right direction (which meant another lot of security). We took the early morning departure and our train was not very crowded (only two others in first class but still only a few dozen in the waiting lounge, and that was in late June). Arrived into Helsinki refreshed just after 10am, ready for a near full day of sightseeing.

    We have just come back from a Stockholm-Helsinki-St Ptersburg-Tallinn-Stockholm trip on Princess Anastasia organised via East-West Tours and would recommend it highly. The ship is not the newest but it's well-maintained, the staff were efficient and helpful, and the food was varied and good, We chose a De-Luxe cabin (not really a fair description but it was quite comfortable and reasonably well-equipped) in order to benefit from the priority disembarkation and embarkation, which was well worthwhile. The 2 nights in St Petersburg (which was fabulous and where we were part of a group of 5) were spent at the 5 star Solo Sokos Palace Bridge hotel which was very good, but what was really special was the quality of our guide Maria Ganina. She has excellent English, is very knowledgeable about all the key sights and about Russia generally, very open to any kinds of discussion and has a really nice touch. The driver Alexander was also very good.

    You’ll find the taxi counter right in front off the door, once you exit the custom control. The staff are professional & speaks very good english.

    Just give them the address and they give you a fixed price. They’ll give you a choice from a normal/standard car or a luxury car.

    To the city senter for 2 people with a bit of luggage for a standard car, was 2000 rubbles.
    5000 rubbles for a luxury car.

    We choose a standard car which was a Mercedes Benz. The car was new, clean and the drive was polite & friendly.

    You make payment at the counter & you’ll get a piece of paper with the type of car and the number plates.

    Be careful of taking a taxi from out side. The chances of getting scam are high.

    If you found my post to be helpful, please do give me a thumbs up😊

    Location has moved!!!! If you are accustomed to taking this ferry from near Beach St, be careful! It has moved to airport area! We almost missed it, even though we went an hour ahead.

    The tour I’ve bought with this company was an incredible experience. I could barely imagine a tour better organized with such amazing client-faced approach. Highly recommend it! The tour guide Ivan was our best experience we ever had.
