I took the Pushkin tour on one day and the Peterhof tour the next. I was there during the last days of March and I do not think there are a lot of tourists there that time of year. Consequently I had a private tour for 2 days. The guide was great and very informative. This trip was exactly what I was hoping it would be.

It was made so good because the guide was so knowledgeable and interested in answering our many questions.

The tour guide who assisted me in this tour had no experience at all, didn't speak much and most of the time acted as if we me and a couple were perfectly knowledgeable of the things she was supposed to tell us about the places we were visiting for the first time! Her English was very bad too.
