Hello!

I am Ludmila Ilyina, co-founder and CEO of Ludmila Tours. I am a graduate of St Petersburg University, Institute of Foreign Languages, Pedagogical Academy. I did not want to give up engineering but after "perestroika" of the 1990s, it was necessary for me to change my profession as did many other soviet engineers.

I have always been attracted to Tourism, have been keenly interested in the history of Russia in the whole and of St. Petersburg in particular since my childhood. It was a simple and easy transition to work in the tourism field. I was good at English but decided to enter the Institute of Foreign Languages to become fluent. I had been working as a tour guide for more than 10 years. Unfortunately, our tourist season is very short, and many guides need to find a side job.

The Pedagogical Academy helped me to become a professional teacher. I really enjoyed teaching but being a guide had always been my favorite. While as a student of the ElectroTechnical University I had the opportunity to be part of an exchange program and visited Japan. I fell in love with the Japanese culture and started to study the Japanese language at St. Petersburg Japanese Center. After several years of intensive study I became a licensed Japanese-speaking guide. It will be very useful whether as a guide or making arrangements with Japanese visitors.

Our family, above, enjoys traveling. I understand how it is to travel with a big family, to make it a pleasure for everyone.
