Masha

Only two things we'll regret on deathbed - that we are a little loved and little traveled. - Mark Twain

This is one of my favorite quotes. I love traveling myself and I understand how important it is to find a good guide who will not only share his/her knowledge with you but will also make you feel comfortable - like at home, like in a family.

St Petersburg is a memorable and magnificent city and it deserves a visit anyway, but visiting it “with a friend” makes it even more special!

I never like tours stuffed with far too many boring details passing in through the one ear and out through the other. So I always try to make my stories easy to understand, with less dates and boring facts and more mysterious legends! The city is full of them by the way.

I have always been interested in history, art, architecture! So, I think guiding in St. Pete (which is my native city) is truly a job for me!

Besides, being a typical Russian girl, I am a chatterbox, so I really hope you won’t be bored!

What other tourists say about Masha?

"We took this tour one day after we arrived we first visited lots of the attractions by ourselves. So when we met Maria the following day we had the opportunity to see and hear about others things we wouldn't ordinarily have visited . She made the city come alive with her knowledge of the history and her pleasing manner. It was a long walk but worth every second"

"Spent a Sunday in Saint Petersburg visiting Hermitage and river boat tour with beautiful and knowledgeable Maria Kiryanova!!! I have visited so many monuments, museums and places of history and beauty. Day with Maria narrating stories about Czars, Decemberists, Catherine the Great and gifts. The opulence and grandeur of the city, place as well as misery it suffered during the wars. Maria is an extremely knowledgeable with lovely English and very patient explaining each important painting, monuments, history... WOW! I truly enjoyed being in a city of such history with a guide who made the difference. Fell in love with this City and would love to be back here and Maria as guide to take us thru"

"We are a couple from Dubai. Maria helped us to arrange a two day tour in St. Petersburg. She was really helpful and put together an itinerary so that me managed to see a lot within two days. With Maria, we went to Hermitage and Faberge museum, St Issac and Spilled blood church and Peterhof. Maria booked a private boat along Neva river for us and that was excellent! Absolutely outstanding tour guide!"
