Ulko Tours guided four of us through Moscow, the Golden Ring and St Petersburg. The trip, the service and particularly the guides and drivers delivered more than our experienced group anticipated. Working with Elena to set up the trip was easy and efficient. Our guides, Elena in Moscow, Serge in the Golden Ring and Julia in St Petersburg, were very... More

My 80-year old mother and I spent three days in Saint Petersburg and decided to do a three-day private tour with Ulko Tours (which we found via tripadvisor). Our guide was Yulia and our driver was Andrei. Yulia was terrific - very knowledgable and accomodating - often making suggestions not in our original itinerary. We had a fantastic time. Andrei...

We came on a cruise and had a marvelous 3 days! We'd like to say that Ulko Tours conjured up the wonderful weather also, but even though that's beyond their powers, we certainly were totally thrilled with the experience they provided us.

In preparation for our trip to St Petersburg last October I decided to rely on on-line research rather than a travel agent but was overwhelmed by the choices. How does one find a reliable service in such a place as Russia? We wanted a private tour but were apprehensive about reliability, security and trustworthiness. Ulko Tours was one of many... More

Our guide was Julia, whose excellent English and deep fund of knowledge of her subject made our trip very fulfilling. When sights were busy with long lines of visitors she carefully managed to get us to the... More
