Marguerite was an excellent guide who left us with a fabulous impression of St. Petersburg. We enjoyed the visit to the Hermitage where we visited the French Impressionists and were impressed by all the churches, the synagogue, and the palaces. The restaurants she chose for us made us feel we really got to know the local cuisine and were able to see the people interacting in their daily lives. this was an experience we will always treasure!
