09:00. Meeting with the guide in the hotel lobby. Departure to the program by bus.
Bus tour "City of Muses – Tsarskoye Selo". Tsarskoye Selo is located 25 km from St. Petersburg, about an hour's drive away.
The fate of this small town is amazing and unusual. Born as a summer imperial residence, it becomes a place of attraction not only for dignitaries, but also for creative people.
A.S. Pushkin was educated here at the Lyceum, N.M. Karamzin wrote The History of the Russian State, M.Y. Lermontov served in the Hussar regiment, I. Annensky, A. Akhmatova, N. Gumilev lived, studied, and served… It is not for nothing that Tsarskoye Selo is rightfully called the "city of the muses."

Excursion to the Catherine Palace with the Amber Room. The Catherine Palace was founded by Catherine I, and was completed under Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II, who called it "whipped cream" for the beauty of its facade.
Now it is one of the best examples of Russian Baroque. The great hall of the palace, with an area of 850 square meters, was built without a single column, and thanks to the mirrors reflecting the windows and the aerial painting of the ceiling, it seemed that there were no walls or ceiling in the huge hall.
The main pearl of the palace is the famous Amber Room, which mysteriously disappeared during the war. Its restoration took 24 years and required more than six tons of "sunstone".
Amber walls with a rich range of shades from lemon and honey to dark yellow amaze the imagination of thousands of tourists. The palace impresses with a wealth of exterior and interior decoration, a collection of paintings and an abundance of gold, carvings and murals.
Excursion to the Alexander Palace. The Alexander Palace was built at the end of the 18th century by order of Empress Catherine II as a gift for the wedding of her grandson, Grand Duke Alexander Pavlovich (the future Emperor Alexander I).
The palace was designed by the famous Italian architect Giacomo Quarenghi. An extensive park with a lake was laid out around the palace.

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.
