We were here 2 days and booked a tour through Viator. Half the price of the cruise line tour and equal to their itinerary. Amazing place to see with a lot of history. Do not miss the Hermitage Museum!

We were a little different than most since we embarked here and spent several days here as we had visas so can't speak to the excursions. Saw a lot of busses at diff sights so I guess expect crowds! My off beaten track recs: Golitsyn Loft on Fontaka river (than walk to Faberge museum from there). A few steps away from Church of Spilled Blood is inexpensive Museum of Soviet Arcade- kids will like but adults will too for a little Soviet nostalgia look. Another tip, if you want to escape Hermitage crowds, your ticket also gets you in at the Gen Staff building (right across from main Winter Palace bldg) which is more modern but also very cool and you'll see rarely-seen Monets, Degas, Picassos. And Rodin sculptures with almost NO one else!! Other off beaten path: New Holland Island if weather is good, all of St. Pete love to go there. Foodwise, anything by ubiquitous Ginza project is kind of perfect though locals may scoff a bit at them. Marketplace is GREAT fast casual self service chain, can sample lots of dishes. Nighttime To Dos: cruise on canal, watch bridges rise at 1am, walk down super lively Rubenstein street, or a ballet.

Used private guide, spent two days with Valeria who was very accommodating and knowledgeable, highly recommend her. Also went to evening ballet (Swan Lake), also organised by her. Thank you for the most memorable two days Valeria.

Went in the two day 10 hour tour. Guides were fabulous! They were informative and were extremely concerned with keeping us together. This tour is packed with action and sights! Loved every minute!

We did a 2 day deluxe tour with DenRus. Getting through customs wasn't as bad as what we thought, didn't take that long. Our tour was fantastic, so glad we have had the opportunity to visit St Petersburg, didn't realise how nice it was with all the canals and wide streets. All the palaces were so oppulent and grand. Learnt a lot.

The most beautiful city I’ve ever seen. We took an excursion through Shipmate. Unfortunately the bus broke down on day 2 and we missed half the tour! Barely made it back to the ship on time!

St Petersburg has so much to offer that the two days allowed here was too short. Oceania needs to extend the visit to St Petersburg to three days. There is a wealth of excursion activities available but impossible to see in only two days. They can skip Helsinki in return for more time here.
