We were there for 3 days and did a 3 day tour with Alla which was excellent. It was in a minibus of 14. The visa was supplied by Alla.

Did you actually get issued with a visa stamped in your passport? Tours with a licensed tour operator are visa exempt for cruise passengers.

Thanks Minsterman sounds interesting we do like to do our own thing. You do have to go in person to get your visa so may look at some tour operators and see what they do
or the ships tours. Got a little while yet so don’t have to decide right now.

if anybody could recommend any tour operators that would be good.

I visited St Petersburg last year and did a tour with Red Sun Tours (redsun-tours.com) whom I highly recommend. We were a small group and our tour guide was the owner of the company who arranged everything and provided a hassle free and enjoyable tour.
