Private shore tours visa-free in Saint Petersburg – visa-free, skip the line tours
Arriving at St Petersburg by cruise ship?
Great! You will have a wonderful chance to see one of the most beautiful cities in the world without getting a Russian visa in advance. Booking St Petersburg visa-free private shore tours are much easier than you think. When you book your private shore tour with me, as a bonus I organize for you free tour tickets which allow you to pass the immigration office and enjoy your sightseeing in St Petersburg. You can book half-day, one, two and three-day tour programs. I will design private shore tour itineraries to meet your budget, time, interests, and group size. Just let me know when you arrive and what you would like to see in St Petersburg!
How it works:
1. To provide you with free tour tickets all I need from you is to send me scanned copies of your passports and the ship name via e-mail. Once the tour tickets are ready I am sending them to you and you print them out.
2. At the immigration office in St Petersburg port you are to show: passport, printed tour ticket which I provide you with.
3. I will meet you (or guides Anna and Irina) as soon as you pass the passport control. You will see the sign with “your name” so it will be very easy to find me. A car or minivan will wait for you a few meters away, just outside the terminal.
