Itinerary

Day 1 - Lions Guard the City Bus Tour
Independent check-in. Guaranteed hotel accommodation after 15:00.
You can leave your belongings in the hotel's luggage room until 15:00.
Meeting with a guide at the Gostiny Dvor metro station. Departure for the tour at 13:10.
St. Petersburg is a city where history, architecture and art are intertwined in an amazing pattern, creating a unique atmosphere. Walking along its streets, one involuntarily draws attention to the abundance of sculptural images of animals decorating embankments, bridges, facades of buildings and parks.
And among this diversity, perhaps the most common and memorable symbol of the city is the lion.
The question of the exact number of lions in St. Petersburg is practically a rhetorical question, to which it is impossible to give an unambiguous answer.
After all, lions appear before us in a variety of guises.: These are majestic marble statues, austere granite sculptures, cast-iron figures cast with great care, and bronze sculptures sparkling in the sun.
They can be sitting, lying down, standing on their hind legs, growling menacingly or peacefully dozing.
St. Petersburg has rightfully earned the title of the most "lion" city in Russia. Along with the lions, the city is decorated with their mythical relatives – sphinxes and griffins, which add a touch of mystery and mysticism to the appearance of the city.
Bronze horses are an equally significant part of the animalistic appearance of St. Petersburg. Majestic quadriga and six horses, as if frozen in a rapid run, adorn the arch of the General Staff, the Alexandrinsky Theater and the Narva Triumphal Gate.
And the Anichkov Bridge, with its famous sculpture groups "Horse Tamers", has become a real hallmark of the city, known far beyond its borders. And you will see all this on our tour.
The tour duration is 3 hours.
Transportation is provided for the bus tour.

During our short walking trip, you will get to the secret places of St. Petersburg, where we make wishes, cherished and not so much, small and big, places where we dream.
We are ready to share this secret with you. You will learn the legends and stories related to the monument to Chizhik-Pyzhik, the Atlanteans at the entrance to the Hermitage, the Char fountain, monuments to the St. Petersburg photographer, Elisha the cat and Vasilisa the cat.
The walk will continue with an excursion to the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, better known as the Savior on Spilled Blood. Yes, the place is associated with a tragic event — the death of Emperor Alexander II, but despite the sad story, the temple flourished to give joy and hope!
Adults will appreciate the scale and grandeur of this architectural masterpiece, its historical significance and stunning beauty. And children will want to look at the colorful domes, find the most unusual one and come up with a fabulous story.
Inside the temple, something incredible awaits you — a story frozen in smalt and stone. The guys will surely imagine how the brilliant craftsmen put together huge puzzles, which have now become a unique collection of Russian mosaic art, which has no equal in the whole country.
"Spas-on-Blood" is waiting for you to give an unforgettable experience to your whole family!
Visiting the Hermitage— one of the largest art museums in the world, is like the first encounter with magic, which will forever remain in the heart and ignite the love of beauty, will give a powerful incentive to explore beauty and harmony not only to young visitors, but also to their parents.
You can feel like an Egyptian priest, a princess in a Throne Room, or a medieval knight in a Knight's Hall.

After a tour of the Catherine Palace, we invite you to feel like lyceum students of the Pushkin era. After all, Tsarskoye Selo is not just luxurious palaces and picturesque parks.

about provider

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.
