The Hermitage is vast, there is so much art work you could get lost for days. The interior decorations are a sight to behold. Maria our tour guide was amazing! She got us into the museum in a timely manner, had great English skills, was incredibly knowledgeable about the art and honestly we would not want to do the tour any other way.
Very knowledgeable tour guide about art and art history. Very good English skills. Picked up on time and had a very enjoyable time. Would recommend her.
Very good trip and professional guide, full of knowledge in history, art and architecture indeed. Very satisfied for sure, highly recommended
