Dear prospective visitors to Russia!
Me, Andrey Vereshchagin as an English speaking guide in St.Petersburg and Moscow would be glad to offer my services. After graduation from the institute I had worked as a bridge design engineer till 1993 - then turning to tourism. Starting from 1995 I have turned to guiding in St.Petersburg upgrading my English.
Since 1997 I have regularly guided in Moscow (usually 2-4 orders a year). The biggest group of mine was for participants of rally London - St.Petersburg in June 2007 organised by JNF UK - they were above 60, so I had to invite one more guide.
Among other special events - guiding a group of relations coming on a sea cruise to commemorate 80th anniversary of one of them (the youngest being below 1), all in all more than 30 persons - for whom I have arranged visa-free disembarkation; last minute tickets' arrangement at the Mariinsky in May 2002 - with my group of 18 siitting just above Putin and Bush Jr; private chamber concerts in 2006 - at the Polovtsev mansion and at an apartment of one Orthodox family; live concert at Bulat Okudjava museum near Moscow for my group from a river cruise in 2006; helping 4 people to get into Russia with a wrong date in their visas in 1999 (bringing Foreign Affairs ministry representative - almost taking him out of the bed due to late time); oiling a palm of a police officer in Red square...
My relatively frequent journeys to Europe (more than 10 times to the UK, except London - to Edinburgh, York, Oxford etc; Italy - Rome, Venice, Florence, Assisi; Spain - Barcelona; Sweden - Stockholm) and personal experience of being a passeger at Mediterranean cruises give me a possibility to compare and increase my background in history, art and casual trifles.

Latest Customer's Opinions:
Andrey was an outstanding guide for us for two days in St. Petersburgh. We never would have seen as much without his assistance. He got us into each location quickly, and once inside his knowledge helped make everything come alive. Andrey helped us understand and appreciate what we were looking at each and every attraction. I strongly recommend him as a tour guide.
