MJBooth Posted April 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Does anyone know the maximum group size for the 2-day St. Petersburg Exploration shore excursion offered by Azamara? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare uktog Posted April 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 3, 2019 25 is the advertised maximum though sometimes they go up above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audobon_tx Posted April 3, 2019 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Done St. Petersburg three times, all on Azamara. Used Azamara shorex one trip, independent tours the other two. Strongly recommend the latter from a value POV. Edited April 3, 2019 by flyingshoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare AllisonJames Posted April 3, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We did the Baltic on Journey in August 2017. Highly recommend SPB Tours. We were on a large van with no more than 14-16 people. I wouldn't want to tour all the sites with a group larger than that, especially in the summer when it is very crowded. Whenever we were following a larger group through a site they were always slowing us down. Our tour guide and driver were invaluable in navigating the logistics and moving us through a packed itinerary. It was tiring but we certainly saw a lot. It was definitely worth the $.

manc Posted April 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 3, 2019 We have used Dancing Bears twice fir 3 days whike in St Petersburg with Azamara and the driver and guide were FANTASTIC. We would highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie7911922 Posted April 9, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Highly agree with flyingshoes. The ship excursions truly are a pack you in and push you through type experience. The independent tour operators have more flexibility and don't try to push you through. We used Anastasia's Travel . Loved the fact that we could schedule a private tour, allowing us to go at our pace and see what we wanted to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxny Posted April 9, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We did a two day tour independently with SBP-Tours.com. Excellent time with them and great communication. It is a beautiful city and lots to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabear Posted April 9, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 9, 2019 We did a 2 day independent tour with Alla with 16 pax max. They were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screen-gem Posted April 9, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Another vote for private tours in SPB. We used Red October a few years ago. A group of 6, with an excellent guide (Katya) and a driver. It was not inexpensive, but well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ak1004 Posted April 11, 2019 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2019 We used Alla tours, 16 people maximum groups. Highly recommended. Basically half price, very similar itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
