Who am I? My name is Julia and I am a professional English speaking guide.I am 47 and am a native of St Petersburg. From my childhood I was carried away with English and fine arts but the idea of combining two these passions came to me only 6 years ago having trained originally in pharmacy. I am a fully licensed guide in all main museums of our city (which means, by the way, that there is no need for you to pay for me there ) with a deep knowledge of fine arts and Russian history. As you have found, I've created my own website and now invite tourists from abroad, working as a private guide in St Petersburg.Last year my husband Vladimir and me bought a car- 'Plymouth Voyager' for five tourists and started working together.So we are a family tourist firm working directly with our clients which saves the cost of agencies.
Vladimir: is 54 y.o. and a graduate from St Petersburg Mining University. He is a great expert in Russia's modern life and you can discuss with him anything connected with our everyday life and politics; my hobby is fine arts and pre-Revolutionary history of Russia which I think it is a very good combination. This year my husband has started learning English- so be sure he will take part in all our conversations.
Nina, our daughter, is now 18 y.o. and speaks good English.She helps us from time to time by being a guide in the smaller museumsand meeting tourists at the airport. She is a student of mathematics faculty at the local university.
