Guide needed in Saint Petersburg (and possibly Moscow)

[bhv.livejournal.com]

I will be arriving in Saint Petersburg on August 4, and departing on August 18 and I would like to hire a guide to show me the sights of your lovely city.

Since this is a two week time period, it's very likely that I will want to hire two different people since no one will probably want to work every day.

I also may need a guide in Moscow from July 30 to August 4, in case the person I have lined up for that is unable to make it for any reason.

The guides I hire must be non-smokers, fluent in English and very familiar with their city. While you don't have to be a professional Russian teacher it would be nice if you like helping people learn Russian.

You may want to reply to this post here, but please also e-mail me at my address which is posted here: http://www.stirlingengine.com/contact-us/ with the subject line of "Russian Guide". Thanks.

St. Petersburg guide

[ex-evengar540.livejournal.com]

Hello.

I live in the very center of the St. Petersburg. I've lived here for ten years, and I'd like to help you enjoy our beautiful city. I don't smoke; and I don't drink vodka either (so if you'd want a yes-drinking company, you'll have to find somebody else). :-) I had lived in the United States for ten months, and I'm an alumnus of one American cultural exchange program.

If you are interested in my service as a guide and want to receive more personal information about me, the e-mail address (type it w/o spaces, of course) is
chimera @ twilight . ru
I check my mailbox every day.

The amount of money you want to pay is not important and is left to your consideration. I'd like to do it for my own experience (also, I like talking in English, and I haven't talked for a while).

However, the fortnight you're going to spend in St. Pete seems a long time, so you could tell me what exactly you want to know and I may prepare a research of what may be interesting for you to see. As for me, I had always been bored when somebody tried to tell the names of architectors and in what style the building was built, yadayada. If you'd like to receive the information of this kind, I may research it for you.

If you hire two guides, we'll have to do some coordinating&cooperating work.

P.S. I hope you're ready to walk a lot. :-)
