To St. Petersburg with children for the May holidays

14 more

Are you planning to go somewhere with the whole family for the May weekend?

We invite you to discover St. Petersburg from two incredible heights: the imperial sweep of the grand avenues and a flight above the clouds on the observation deck of the Lakhta Center. We will see the city through the eyes of Peter and modern dreamers, and after lunch we will send a postcard from a height of 365 meters!

Let's continue our journey through time: the splashes of Peterhof's fountain firecrackers will be replaced by the labyrinths of the first Soviet nuclear submarine in Kronstadt. And on the final day, children will be able to turn the levers of a real steam locomotive in the giant railway museum — it will be a May adventure that even parents will not get tired of.

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.
