Princess Private Van in St Petersburg?

[raysc]

Has anyone used Princess' private van tour in St Petersburg? Can you schedule your own itinerary? We want to be able to see as much as possible and would welcome your experience. Thanks.

we used Denrus. others used Red October or Alla. all of us were VERY happy. the smaller the group the better to see the most. you are the boss. you tell them what you want to see. it is independent travel, but with help. they help you work out the time schedule.

 

it is also cheaper than the ship's tour. you do NOT need visas. there is NO problem getting off the ship. no matter what Princess puts in all their letters to scare you. that's all bunk. we just got back from May 25th sailing and had NO problems at all. read these boards. there are hundreds of people telling you to use private vendors and that they've had no problems

 

good luck

have fun

really rest up for this trip. it's exhausting
