Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Free day or additional excursions

    Independent check-in.

    Guaranteed hotel accommodation after 15:00.

    You can leave your belongings in the hotel's luggage room until 15:00.

    Free day without sightseeing and transportation services.

    For an additional fee:

    Walking tour "Petersburg was born here" with a tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress. Meeting with a guide at the Gorkovskaya metro station. Departure for the tour at 14:00.

    We will walk with you along the Petrogradskaya side, the historical district of the city where St. Petersburg originated, where its first inhabitants settled, where a number of the oldest stone buildings have been preserved – silent witnesses of the first decades of the city's history.

    And we will discover St. Petersburg through the eyes of Peter the Great by following the new walking route "Peter's Way", which is laid along Petrovskaya Embankment.

    How many times did Peter the Great with his giant steps walk along this embankment from his dwelling to the Peter and Paul Fortress under construction! You will be surprised to see the modest house of the emperor, measure your height with him, and also compare how Peter's huge step differs from yours.

    During the tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress, you will get acquainted with one of the first buildings of St. Petersburg, a unique historical and architectural monument where the bastions and fortifications of Russia of the XVIII century will tell you all their stories.

    Here, at the origins of the city, you will learn how the fortress was both a defense and a place of detention.

    You will hear a fascinating story about how money was minted at the St. Petersburg Mint, and you will feel the sinister atmosphere of the Trubetskoy Bastion prison.

    You will also see several sculptures of hares (which gave this island its name), and you will meet one of the most original monuments to Peter the Great in St. Petersburg.

    You will visit the tomb of the Russian emperors, the Cathedral of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, whose famous gilded spire, a symbol of hope and greatness, towers over the city.

    The duration of the tour is 3-3.5 hours.

    Transportation is not provided.

    13 Feb, 2025
    The tour was well-organized, and the preloaded transit card included in the package was incredibly useful—such a great idea! However, unfortunately, in my case, there was no mention of it anywhere—not on the envelope with the vouchers, nor in the printed tour program. It also wasn’t brought up in my communication with the manager. As a result, we had to figure out on our own what the card was and how to use it. We only realized later that it already had money loaded onto it—when we happened to use it. Luckily, we traveled around the city a lot, so the balance on the card was put to good use. That being said, to be fair, I should note that other tour participants mentioned they did receive this information on their envelope and that their manager informed them about it when sending the tour details.
