The very best of St. Petersburg
Visiting the most interesting sights from the golden age of St. Petersburg i.e. mid 18th to mid 19th centuries. Elegant palaces, lavishly decorated cathedrals and perhaps even a ballet performance which will make you forget about the 20th century and enjoy the Age of Elegance.
Mix of sights and present day reality
A tour full of contrasts, suiting travellers interested not only in famous royal palaces but also in the history of the 20th century as well as in the local lifestyle. Add to the standard sights some local colour - wash yourself in a banya (Russian national steam bath house), visit a local food market and spend an evening at the local beer bar. Try to feel Russian!
St. Petersburg for the family with Children
Here we combine the classic sights of St. Petersburg with visits to attractions that appeal to children and adults alike. We will plan the program according to the age and interests of all the family members.
Erarta Contemporary Art
A visit to Erarta museum is an excursion that can be added to any of my programs. Opened in 2010 this museum is dedicated to contemporary art. It makes an intesting contrast to the classical art that is usually featured on excursions in St. Petersburg.
Tours beyond St. Petersburg
There are some attractive possibilities for vistors interested in traveling further afield and seeing some different aspects of Russia.
We could spend a day exploring Veliky Novgorod, one of Russia's oldest and historic cities situated about 2 hours drive from St.Petersburg. Alternatively we could visit rural Russia which differs greatly from Moscow and St.Petersburg. Here in the countryside you will find the essence of Russia and be able to participate in traditional rural pastimes.
