Thank you all for your valued insight....I think we will heed your warnings and work through tour companies. Thank you again!

Sorry if I am duplicating posts here...we are traveling on the legend of the seas this summer with an overnight in st Pete...I know it's Russia, so do we need to apply for a visa? We are a group of dyi folks rather than tours with the ship. I know the ship usually has a special visa for their tours, but like I said, we will be on our own. If possible we'd like to stay in Russia overnight rather than on the boat. Just trying to experience the city.

Thoughts and advice is very much appreciated.
