TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

St. Petersburg Shore Excursion

This 8-hour St Petersburg shore trip is for those who want the most flexibility with their itinerary in St. Petersburg. When you meet your guide you discuss your interests and the places you wish to see. Your guide will help you maximize your time based on your desires and traffic conditions. Some people like this option so they can spend a lot of time in one location. Others like to try to see as much as possible in the time available.

If you'd like to soak up the local culture, get lots of city photos or ride the famous St. Petersburg Metro then this is an excellent option for you. In St Petersburg there are often long lines and or required reservations at museums and palaces so this is not a good option if you intend to visit a site such as a museum or palace.

Please note that this "Flexible Itinerary" includes a driver and a licensed guide who provides commentary while you are in the vehicle and also during your selected stops. Your guide can make recommendations based on your interest. It is important to understand that with a flexible itinerary, we cannot guarantee you can see everything you desire in the amount of time you have chosen. Traffic conditions and weather ultimately affect the driving time to the places you wish to visit.

Mobility: Folding wheelchair OK, some sites may be inaccessible (advance notice required)

Russia Visa-Free Entry Voucher Information
With these private St Petersburg shore excursions, our partners in Russia provide everything you need to satisfy Russia's entry requirements. You will NOT need to purchase a separate Russian Tourist Visa.

Russian law requires that cruise passengers taking Private Shore Trips have the following documentation:
1) A valid passport
2) A photocopy of your passport
3) Proof that you have purchased an escorted tour arranged by a government licensed agency authorized to receive foreign cruise passengers inside the St. Petersburg port area. Our partners in Russia provide a Visa-Free Entry Voucher as proof of your tour.

To process your Visa-Free Entry Voucher we will need the following information for each person in your private party at the time of your reservation.

-Full name as listed in the passport
-Passport Number
-Passport Expiration Date
-Date of Birth
-Nationality
-Gender


Special Note- Your cruise line may tell you that you must purchase an expensive Russian tourist visa to get off the ship if you are not taking their big bus tour. This is not true. The visa they refer to is only for passengers who plan to go ashore unaccompanied by an authorized guide. With the Visa-Free Entry Voucher our partners in Russia provide, you are required to depart and return to the port with the tour we have organized for you. You do not have the option to stay in St. Petersburg and return to the ship on your own. Visa-Free Entry Vouchers are sometimes called a "blanket visa".

Four Week Notice- To obtain the needed Russian Tourist Visas we can only accept reservations with a minimum of four weeks notice.




If you cannot find what you are looking for, our St. Petersburg tours and St. Petersburg Shore Excursions can also be customized to fit your needs. If you have a larger group, we can offer you a private St. Petersburg shore trip using a mid-size bus or full size coach. Please contact us with any questions or to receive a customized quote.

5 of 5 Review Location: St. Petersburg November 25, 2023
Reviewer: Travel Agent Donna R from Cruise Holidays of Palm Springs, Palm Springs, CA  
I just want you to know that we had absolutely the best tours that were booked through you. When we did one through the ship, we really noticed the difference and missed our small van. Everything was handled expertly and after meeting the first one, I never had any worries from then on. You handled the last minute change from Athens to Crete and everyone was thoroughly impressed that you were able to put together something and actually came through. Thanks again, you made me look good !

Reviewer: Susan W from Cheshire, United Kingdom  
The tour was excellent, the guide was knowledgeable, pleasant and flexible in meeting our requests (eg short lunch). Certainly better than being in a big bus tour with all the other passengers. Thanks!

Reviewer: Dario C from Vara din Croatia  
Everything was more than expected, coaches were comfortable, guides were very good, lady from Stockholm on second place, and the very best Sibylle from Hamburg. I will (have already) tell about you guys to all of my friends, and also to some travel agents in Croatia that I know. The prices are little high, but the service is excellent.
