    Breakfast at the hotel (if the "no breakfast" rate is not selected, except on the day of arrival).

    09:00-09:45 Meeting in the lobby of the Rossiya Hotel (only on the 1st day of the tour).

    09:45 Departure from the Rossiya Hotel, including for tourists from the Elkus Hotel.

    09:00-10:30 Meeting in the lobby of the Moscow Hotel (only on the 1st day of the tour).

    Excursion to the "Savior on Spilled Blood". The Church of the Resurrection of Christ ("Saved on Blood") is a memorial to Emperor Alexander II.

    It was built on the place where the assassination attempt on the Tsar Liberator took place. Inside the cathedral, a fragment of the canal grating and the cobblestone pavement on which the mortally wounded emperor fell are carefully preserved.

    The main feature of the temple is the unique mosaics covering the facades of the building and decorating its interiors. That is why the cathedral can rightfully be called a "museum of mosaic art", as you will certainly see during the tour.

    Boat tour of rivers and canals. A great opportunity to see the Northern Capital from a different perspective is from the water, when granite embankments become a kind of pedestals of palaces and mansions of St. Petersburg.

    You will admire the panoramas of the city, the facades of palaces, the beauty of St. Petersburg bridges and the delicate lace of cast-iron fences.

    The place of the end of the program: the city center.

    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.
