rubinstein2r Posted August 2, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2006 We will be on Jewel of the Seas Aug 30 cruise. We will be only taking shore excursions in St. Petersburg because we usually prefer walking and touring at our own pace. Unfortunately being only two, a private guide is too expensive but we are weighing taking the two day DenRus tour vs. two half-day tours and a full day tour(Hermitage in the morning and the train and market experience in the afternoon, the first day and something with Palaces the second day) with RCCL. The time touring is about the same and the price is not all that different but we're wondering which will give us the better experience? Thanks for any help. --My_AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host CMLA Posted August 3, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Please don't organize private tours on this board. Your roll call for your cruise is the place for that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JodiBB Posted August 3, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 3, 2006 We did the RO tour last summer and SO glad we didn't take the RCCL tours. We saw the buses load up with 40-50 people while we had a group of 4 + our driver & guide. We were able to manuever through the museums easier and could customize our trip as we wanted. When we were done with one area, we would tell our guide and he'd zip us to the next. Can't really do that when you've got a busload of people on the same tour.

Marzipan Posted August 6, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2006 We were in St. P July 27 & 28. We used Alla and were delighted. We saw twice as much as the ship tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
