Tourists reviews of vacations in the Leningrad region

A huge thank you to all the tour team. Special thanks to the drivers, who made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. Everything was perfectly arranged and ran smoothly. The guides were outstanding—knowledgeable and engaging, with a well-structured and immersive presentation of the material. A special thank you to S.R., who treated us to unforgettable views of St. Petersburg and its surroundings. Her storytelling masterfully combined breathtaking works of art with historical narratives, delivered in a calm and unobtrusive manner. My deepest respect for the passion and dedication to your profession.

Our family joined the St. Petersburg Collection tour from July 15 to 21, and the program met all our expectations. Many thanks to Irina Evgenievna Yeletskaya and the other guides – true professionals. I also want to recognize the drivers and the comfort of the buses. One suggestion: it would be great if the guides could adjust the pace a bit for older travelers. Thank you!

Thank you so much for an impeccably organized trip! Everything about your work deserves a perfect 10 out of 10. Everything was just great 👍

Good evening, Julia!!! I am absolutely thrilled with the tour!!! It was simply amazing!!! Our guide, Anastasia, is a true professional, everything she shared was fascinating!!! A huge thank you to everyone for organizing such a fantastic trip!!!!! I feel so lucky to have found you online!!! The entire experience was wonderful!!!!!! I really hope to travel with you again!! Thank you so much 💕

The Top 3 Tour is wonderfully compact and incredibly informative. In a short time, I was able to see, experience, and learn so much. I immersed myself in Russian history, explored architectural monuments, and glimpsed the medieval era. Visiting Vyborg and Karelia left an unforgettable impression, and St. Petersburg will forever hold a special place in my heart. I'm so glad I stumbled upon the Big Country website and that this specific tour caught my attention. Thank you so much, truly thank you 💕!!!!!

I had a wonderful 12-day trip to St. Petersburg with Big Country. The program was extensive, including visits to Kronstadt, Peterhof, Pavlovsk, and Tsarskoye Selo. I truly appreciate the excellent organization—every planned excursion ran smoothly and on time. A special thank you to our guide, M.E., who led each tour with a deep love for her city and great respect for her guests.

Everything went perfectly! We were nervous about sending two teenagers on their own! But we took the chance! The hotel and excursions fully lived up to expectations! They especially liked the guide, Vera! Thank you!

An amazing tour with a well-organized and informative itinerary! Comfortable buses pick you up directly from the hotel and take you to the excursion sites. During the ride, the guide continuously shares interesting facts about the landmarks we pass. I really enjoyed the routes and locations we visited. The boat trip on the Neva River was slightly spoiled by heavy rain, but it was still a great experience. As for the Hermitage, it’s definitely a place for true art lovers. After two hours of wandering through its grand halls, you start to lose track of where you are and where you're going. In contrast, the Yusupov Palace offers a fantastic glimpse into the opulence and customs of the past. Personally, I would have preferred to swap the Hermitage visit for a trip to St. Isaac’s Cathedral, including access to its observation deck. For those with a deep spiritual interest, a visit to Valaam is best planned as a two-day trip or longer. A five-hour excursion only allows you to see a small part of it, without fully experiencing the essence of the place. Overall, the tour left me with only positive emotions and unforgettable impressions. I completely fell in love with St. Petersburg!

The tour was fantastic. Every day was packed with activities and full of interesting experiences. Our guide, Lyubov, was an outstanding professional, making each excursion both enjoyable and informative.

I really enjoyed everything. A huge thank you to Natalia and Polina. They made learning about St. Petersburg truly fascinating.

Many thanks to the tour team !! The trip was amazing! We explored both St. Petersburg and Karelia. It was just a week of vacation, but it felt like a whole month of unforgettable experiences with my daughter

The tour was fantastic. Very interesting and informative.

I really enjoyed the trip, and the guide Sofia explained everything in a fascinating way.

I really enjoyed the tour. It was an exciting and well-organized trip that left me with many positive memories. The program was engaging, and the guides were highly knowledgeable. Highlights included palaces, temples, cathedrals, parks, and gardens adorned with sculptures and fountains, as well as the Peter and Paul Fortress. I never once regretted choosing this tour.

The tour program was as informative as possible, with excellent work by the guide and reliable transport. The hotel was good, recently renovated, and had a washing machine. There were some concerns about cleanliness, but I appreciate the honesty.

I really enjoyed everything. The tour was both interesting and informative, leaving me with so many unforgettable impressions.

We were extremely pleased with how the tour was organized. On the first day, we were delayed on the way and arrived late, but the team kindly waited for us, postponed the tour by two hours, welcomed us in the lobby, and immediately took us on the sightseeing excursion. Special thanks to our guide, Lyubov, who was absolutely outstanding. She led the excursions with great professionalism and expertise. Thank you! Oksana and Angelina, Donetsk

Everything was very well organized.

Everything was absolutely wonderful. The program was well thought out—especially the master class, the visit to Monrepos, and the camp.

We took part in the St. Petersburg Collection tour. The excursions were very interesting, and the program was well-organized and diverse. We visited all the places we were excited to see: Peterhof, Pavlovsk, Kronstadt, Tsarskoye Selo, and Gatchina... The buses were comfortable and well-maintained...
