Note from Raphi Bloom - Owner of TotallyJewishTravel.com

My wife and I were in St Petersburg in June 2014 and St Petersburg Jewish Tours arranged a 4 hour tour of the city for us. I can HIGHLY recommend them. Our guide Svetlana was excellent - knowledgeable, personable and easy to have a dialogue with. We learnt a huge amount about the history of Jewish St Petersburg and the community currently living there. 4 hours flew by. Highly recommended!
