Thumbs Up 2

St. Petersburg, Russian Federation

5 out of 5

No official accessible tours offered by Princess. Went on private tour from Liberty Tours, who specialise in accessible tours. It was excellent. In large taxi sharing with a guy in a wheelchair from another ship which brought the cost. Liberty organised the sharing and offered the chance to team up to reduce cost. Lots of Gold on and in buildings in St. Petersburg hence title of review
