You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful city with so much history!
We would like to thank you sincerely for your excellent guiding of us in
St. Petersburg.
We believe we may have taken you to places that are not usually in your guiding itineraries, but we are sure you didn't mind that.
We have now returned home from our holiday in St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Tallinn, but there is no doubt that our star location was St. Petersburg.
You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful city with so much history
