St. Petersburg guide

Prior to our trip to Russia in August ’05, we read about a guide in St. Petersburg named Sveta Motovilovets (phone [812] 275 34 77 or e-mail svetasad@hotmail.com) in ITN (Nov. ’04, pg. 82).

We spent a delightful day with Sveta and her driver. An attractive lady, she speaks excellent English, has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable. Sveta knows where to shop, where to eat and how to beat the crowds. With her guidance, we were able to go where tour buses could not go.

Our charge for the day was $369, which included the driver and car. We insisted on buying a great lunch.
