    Bus tour "Palaces of St. Petersburg and their owners". Sometimes it seems that all the buildings in our city are palaces. Of course, this is only an appearance, but there are really a lot of them in St. Petersburg. But there is no palace without painting, sculpture, balls, music, a cozy garden or park. This is the atmosphere that surrounds the owners of the palaces, to whom this tour is dedicated.

    15:30 Excursion to the Shuvalov Palace – the magnificent Faberge Jewelry Museum. Carefully restored interiors and real wonders of jewelry art are hidden behind the modest facades of the Shuvalov Palace. The museum has an unparalleled collection of Russian jewelry and decorative and applied arts of the XIX-XX centuries. The most valuable and famous items in the museum's collection are 9 imperial Easter eggs created by Carl Gustav Faberge.

    At the end of the tour, you will find a small gastronomic surprise – the signature dessert "Faberge Egg", which is prepared only here.

    18:30 The end of the program in the city center. Independent return to the hotel.

    An unforgettable and magnificent trip! Our guide, Galina, was truly a professional—knowledgeable and engaging. We stayed at the Moscow Hotel, which offered a delicious breakfast and rooms with stunning views of the Neva River. The location was excellent, just a 20-minute walk along Nevsky Prospekt to the city center and train station, and conveniently close to the metro. The "Highlights of St. Petersburg" program was absolutely fantastic. A big thank you to the tour team! I highly recommend Big Country to everyone.
