Russia was fantastic. We used SBP Tours again (and for all the future ports) After getting through passport control and being issued temporary visas, we met Natalia, our guide for 2 days. She was great, very knowledgeable and got us into places early so that we could see things before other tourists got there. This was a 2-day tour, 9.5 hours the first day and 9 the second. We didn't do the optional night-time ballet. I knew we'd be exhausted. Each day we had a traditional Russian lunch in very nice restaurants included in the trip fee. There were only 16 people on this tour and that made it all very friendly. There are lots of pictures of all of us in various places. At the end of the second day we all hugged Natalia and got her contact info to share photos. This was the best tour ever!

Took a private tour with a guide and loved it. Got into the Hermitage Museum before the crowds and the cathedrals were beautiful!

Took a Viator tour, small group and had a fantastic group for this port. Never thought we would go to Russia, the history and the castles are spectacular.

We took the one-day excursion to Moscow and stopped at the Hotel Metropol for a break. Those who have read A Gentleman in Moscow were in heaven, and seeing Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Kremlin was an unforgettable experience. Also loved the Hermitage.

Amazing. You really need so much more than 2 days, but if it’s only 2 make sure you visit what you are interested in. I did the NCL Cathedrals of St. Petersburg (outstanding), the Hermitage at night (cannot even explain how incredible that was-after hours only are small group in this beautiful museum with all those masterpieces, plus you get to see the city lit up at night). Day 2 I did NCL’s Panoramic St. Petersburg and Leisure time- this was perfect! They do about 2 hours of visiting the major sites then 2 1/2 hours to wander on your own. I walked down by the water that goes by the Church on Spilled Blood, then to the 2 shopping malls (Passages and Gostiny Dvor)- it’s really the only excursion where you can wander, which was so fun! Then in the afternoon I did the Neva River cruise- the entertainment was noting great, but the boat ride provided a very cool view of the city.
