During your half-day walking tour you’ll see all the main attractions of the city, will learn how to use public transport, where to try traditional and inexpensive Russian food, where to go for shopping or boat trips, etc so that you can comfortably explore St Petersburg on your own later.

The walking tour of St Petersburg has 2 options: a basic half-day walking tour that doesn’t include any inside visits to the museums and a full-day walking tour where you can include visits to some of the following museums according to your liking: The Hermitage, St Isaac’s cathedral, the Savior on the Spilled blood or the Peter and Paul fortress.
