Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Bus tour "Myths and secrets of St. Petersburg"

    Independent check-in at the St. Petersburg hotel. Guaranteed hotel accommodation after 15:00. You can leave your belongings in the hotel's luggage room until 15:00.

    Meeting with the guide at the Gostiny Dvor metro station. Departure for the tour at 18:00.

    St. Petersburg, a city built on the marshes by the will of Peter the Great, has been shrouded in an aura of mystery since its foundation. His story, woven from the ambitions of the emperors, great achievements and tragic events, has given rise to many legends and mystical beliefs.

    During the bus tour, you will have an exciting journey into the heart of St. Petersburg's mysteries! We will remember the story of the real "Queen of Spades", visit the ancient temple in the very center of St. Petersburg, and also learn the story of the appearance of thousand-year-old sphinxes on the banks of the Neva River.

    Your decision is to believe all these stories or not. But a bit of irony is sure to be useful to you today.

    The duration of the tour is 3-3.5 hours.

    Transportation is provided for the bus tour.

    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.
