Todd Hohla: Hi Valentina

I just wanted to thank you again for the great day and tour you gave us.  I hope you don't mind, but Anna gave us your email.

Of all the stops our cruise made, Russia was our absolute favorite.  Becca and I enjoyed all of the beautiful architecture and all of the history you shared with us.  We also enjoyed our 'weird stops' as well 

Thank you again for the wonderful experience!

Please send Alexandr our warmest regards and relay our gratitude for his welcoming company and for his savvy expertise on getting us around the city.

You both made our trip truly unforgettable and we appreciate it very much.

Angela: From Australia to St. Petersburg

We could not fathom the beauty and fabulous sites of St. Petersburg. Ilsa was a most inforamtive guide. We had 2 fabolous days seeing the best of St. Petersburg and surrounds. Ilsa had so much knowledge of the  history, the art and the people of St. Petersburg coupled with her perfect English made our tours most enjoyable. Also thankyou to Alexander the drive. So patient and so kind at all times. We think of you and Ilsa with great fondness.

Leena K. D.: Dear Irina!

Thousand thanks for your always sunny disposition and willingness to walk that extra mile! All of us enjoyed the remnants of the "white nights". Here in San Francisco area our dawn and dusk are short. I got several videos and watching them I want to come back to St. Petersburg! We have finally adjusted to our clocks and are now planning to get together for show & tell of all pictures that were taken. Also we actually want some Russian food so I am going to volunteer to do cabbage rolls and potatoes. There is a Russian store close by where I can get dark bread. Wishing you and your family all the best, Fondly,

Douglas S.: Dear Irina:

I am writing to thank you for the amazing experience of being in St. Petersburg with you as my guide. I was astounded by your knowledge of the history and culture of the city obviously so dear to your heart. St. Petersburg is truly a beautiful city but with your knowledge it made my experience unforgettable. I particularly enjoyed the Russian art museum, Yusupov palace, the visit to the churches, and the boat trip along the canals and rivers. Thank you also for your suggestions of Russian food at various restaurants and for your help in getting around the city with the help of Victor. I hope to come back to Russia one day and again relive my experiences in St. Petersburg. I hope you will keep in touch and let me know of future events in St. Petersburg. Sincerely,

Louise and I want to thank you for the very informative and friendly tour you did for us in St. Petersburg on Aug. 26 when we arrived on the Jewel of the Seas.

When you are in the US, if you ever want to visit Texas we would love for you to be our guest in our home. Our best regards to you for making our visit so enjoyable. We hope you have a bearable winter. Our best regards,

Thank you for the wonderful job you did as our guide. I fell in love with St Petersburg and I think a great deal of that had to do with your guiding us around.

Alistair and Helen C.: Dear Irina

A short note to say we are now back in Australia and to say thank you very much again for the wonderful time we had in St Petersberg. We really enjoyed spending time with you and learning about the city, its history, the art and the people thanks to your great knowledge of all of these things and it was so much easier having someone like you to help us navigate our way around the Hermitage, Russian Museum and other places. Thank you also to Tatiana who was so good in meeting us and driving us to the various places including the wonderful restaurant after the folk show (which itself was amazing). We met up with the other driver who took us to the bus station on the last day (sorry about the mix up with us double booking this transfer) but it worked out all right in the end. We enjoyed travelling on to Tallinn and then Riga and Vilnius but for us our time in St Petersburg was the highlight of our trip. Now that we are back in Sydney (it all went so quickly), there are one or two of my colleagues who are interested in going to St Petersburg some time and if their plans eventuate I will suggest they may like to contact you also re similar tours. Most people here go to other destinations so they have been intrigued to hear about where we have been so far away (and in winter/spring). We don't have frozen rivers or canals here so that is certainly something else that was different for us to see. Again thank you so much to you and Tatiana for the time you spent with us and your bright, informative tours. It is a time we will always remember with joy and we hope we will come back to St Petersberg again some day - maybe in summer to see the contrast. We wish good luck to you and your husband with his business and to Tatiana with her studies. Best Regards

Lyn and Russ T.: Greetings from Canada

Hello, Irina ! You were our tour guide in St Petersburg the first week of August 2003. I just found your business card among papers from the trip, and thought I would send you a message. Russ and I had a wonderful time, and very much enjoyed our tours with you. Having an art student take us on a tour of the Hermitage was a real gift! Hope you are doing well. Write if you have time.
