“Although we go to many museums, neither my husband nor I is an art expert! We participated in a group tour. Inside the Hermitage our guide proved to be very knowledgeable and managed to share priceless information about various paintings that could not be found in any book about the museum I read in English.”

“After skipping the queues I spent the most enjoyable morning in St Petersburg seeing all around the beautiful paintings of the palace complex including areas that the tourists do not normally go. Our guide talked to us throughout the journey and provided us with plenty interesting facts about the rooms we were passing through”
