Two free days — at the beginning and at the end — give you the luxury of a gentle acclimatization: after the trip, just exhale at the hotel, and before leaving, enjoy new experiences without haste.
And between them there are explosive classics: the ceremonial Petersburg with the Bronze Horseman and Petropavlovsk, a trip to Peterhof, where 150 fountains soar under the golden sculptures, and the water magic of the city from an unexpected angle — from a motor ship along Fontanka, Moika and Neva.
You will find yourself in the Lower Park, where 150 fountains and 4 grandiose cascades soar under the golden sculptures, and the water sparkles silver against the background of the Gulf of Finland.
A journey by water
The ship will take you along Fontanka, Kryukov Canal, Moika, Winter Groove and Neva River, opening St. Petersburg from an unexpected angle.
Ceremonial Petersburg
You will see the Palace and Trinity Squares, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Bronze Horseman and much more — an ideal start to explore the city.

I had no idea what to expect from this tour. I came across a website online and decided to fill out the booking form, though I was quite nervous about whether it was trustworthy.
I was contacted via Telegram by Yulia, who guided me through every step of the process. She provided all the details about the tour I had initially chosen, and when I realized it didn’t quite fit my budget, she asked about my interests in St. Petersburg and personally selected alternative tour options for me. She also helped me find suitable accommodation within my price range.
The payment was made in two installments. I really appreciated how they sent all necessary documents promptly at each stage. Yulia was incredibly responsive, answering all my questions quickly—both via the Telegram bot and email. I’m so grateful to her for her support and incredible patience!
After completing the payment, I received a contract, which I signed and returned. They also sent me a ticket with all the tour details, and one day before the trip, I received a voucher.
A huge thank you to Yulia for her outstanding assistance! And many thanks as well to Big Country! Now, I won’t hesitate to book another tour.
