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.

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

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!

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

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

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

A fantastic tour with an engaging program. The only thing I would note is that you need to dedicate a whole day to visit Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo. The tour offers a preview of these locations, but it’s still very interesting, and I don’t regret the time or money spent.

The trip to St. Petersburg will stay in my memory for a long time. The excursions were fantastic, with lots of fascinating information. I really enjoyed everything.

A perfect itinerary for those with just a week to explore the incredible city of historic Petersburg and its surroundings! Of course, even two or four weeks wouldn’t be enough to fully experience the charm and cultural richness of this northern capital.
