"We loved the trip and were very happy with the smooth running of all connections and the quality of travel. An absolutely fabulous travel experience. We loved the St. Petersburg hotel, excellent location, quiet, very good breakfast, nice room and well appointed bathroom. Good restaurant and friendly staff. Would have preferred a room with a view over the Moyka but this is only a small point. We would highly recommend it. St Petersburg: the whole package – hotel, tours, transport – was excellent. The tour guide, was charming, knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed her company a lot. The chauffeur was also very good, friendly, punctual and helpful. "
