St. Petersburg anyone?

We are going to St. Petersburg Russia in september. I cannot undestand the visa situation. It seems that if you buy a shore excursion you do not need a visa. Does anyone have any assistance about this, please.

If you use an approved tour operator you will not need a seperate visa as the tour operators ticket is the Visa Last year we had private tours with Denrus (Excellent)for 3 days and also went with Silverseas to the Hermitage one evening (Excellent) and all we needed were the tickets + our passport

 

I would go to the ports of call board Europe - Baltics as there is a wealth of knowledge there

You don't need a visa for the tour, but you need a visa whenever you are on your own (even if you have booked a tour). At least this was our experience 5 years ago.
