Below you will find two possible programs: the first one is more siutable for those who visit St Petersburg from May to early October while the second one is designed for “winter” visitors.The programs can be adjusted to your interests for free- please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Tour option – Winter “must-see & Russian culture” package
This option is recommended to those who come from late October/early November till the end of April. The majority of tours here are made by private car that will make your stay most comfortable.
This tour program doesn’t include a visit to Peterhof fountain park, so it’s more suitable for those who come to Saint-Petersburg from late autumn to early spring when the fountains of Peterhof are not functioning and days are short. But don’t be upset. Instead of Peterhof, you’ll be visiting Pavlovsk, another magnificent residence of Russian tsars which is less well-known, but just as interesting and picturesque. It also includes a tour of the Russian museum to see the best masterpieces by Russian artists and learn a bit more about our culture.
