What rules St. Petersburg. 7-day sightseeing tour

We invite you to a tour where you will learn about the main forces lurking in the city on the Neva, and feel for yourself how weighty they are. The power of the tsar, of course, influenced both the whole of Russia and a huge number of processes inside the city, majestic buildings and royal residences were built in the northern capital, which you will visit. The force of the elements forced the city to build dams and escape from floods. The power of time is to adapt the historical buildings of the city to the needs of modern times. The tour will end with the power of money, which is so little talked about, but which is incredibly interesting to discuss.

During this trip, you will see the Hermitage and the Museum of Russian Railways, visit Kronstadt and Peterhof, visit the Museum of the History of Money and the Russian National Library and learn about what forces rule St. Petersburg, what influence they have on the lives of its citizens, its appearance and spirit.

    I really enjoyed the tour, even despite the snowfall. The itinerary was packed with activities and experiences - so much so that by the second day we were feeling pleasantly tired. The lunches were excellent, and we were glad we chose to include them. The organization was outstanding, and our guide, Nelli, was wonderful. She shared a wealth of interesting information and presented it in a way that kept everyone engaged throughout the trip. The Druzhba Hotel was quite good overall. The breakfasts offered a wide variety of dishes, and the location was convenient, not far from the city center. There was also a supermarket nearby, which was very handy. A few practical notes for future travelers: standard rooms are equipped with 2 separate beds rather than 1 large bed. Slippers and bathrobes are not provided. A hairdryer was available, but the complimentary shower gel and shampoo packets were quite small .
