2 day St. Petersburg tour question

[Trevoli]

Looking at the ships 2 day St. Petersburg tour, and wondering if it includes a tour INSIDE the church on spilled blood.  Can’t tell from the tour description if the visit to the church is a drive by, an outside photo stop, or if you actually tour the inside. 

 

Many thanks.  Looking at non ship tours too.

Recommend that you book a private tour with Alla or one if the other reputable companies.  More time. Less people.

Have to agree with Little Britain, Private Tours are more Personal and easier to get about, cost about 2 thirds of Ships Tours and you get more Bang for your Money, Alla, Denruss and Red October offer some great Tours and they also include the Visa.

Some of them even know the shortcuts to avoid the Queue's.

We used TJ Travel.  We did have 10 of us so it was private for us only.  We added the Inside of Peterhof Palace and a couple of other stops and reduced time at Hermitage.  They were remarkably easy to work with, had great pricing, and no extra charge for the tour.  Yes, we did the inside of Church of the Spilt Blood, and Yusupof's Palace.  

I highly recommend TJ Travel but  at least do a private tour company.  Smaller groups are better, they take care of everything, and likely are cheaper than the Cruise line tour.  And if you want any changes, email and see if they can do them.

Have to agree with private company tours.  We used Alla Tours and could not have been happier.  We saw  soooo much and our guide spoke perfect English and was a wealth of information.  This 2-day tour is one of my fondest cruises memories and we have nearly 50 cruises "under our belt" so far.    And, yes, we also saw the inside of Spilt Blood , but I would double check with whichever tour you contract with  as thing do change.  Enjoy!
