Nijelsalim's 9 days trip to St Petersburg

Overall trip experience was good. But certain points to mention ; we were not given an english speaking driver as mentioned in the voucher. The first day city tour was a waste as all the places were closed since it was a monday. I feel that the agent should have known this before hand and swapped the tour with another day's.

Sriram's 6 days trip to St Petersburg

Satisfied with Alpine Lounge and Sole Palace, no issues at all.. Would not recommend Sighnaghi Glamping as they were quite rude and the room was also not kept clean. The best part was the driver and our guide, Mr. Beso who patiently showed us around and suggested some good options. Thanks to Mr..Amit for organising an almost hassle free travel. Would recommend
