Tours Description

This private one-day shore excursion in St Petersburg introduces the highlights of the city at an easy pace. After meeting with the guide in the port terminal, get to the city center by a comfortable car/minivan with an experienced driver. You will first visit the cradle of the city - St Peter and Paul's Fortress and learn the history of the city's construction while walking on historical cobblestones. On the city tour, you will have many photo-stops at the most interesting spots and visit Kazan Cathedral, the main Orthodox Church of St Petersburg. The main attraction of the day is the Hermitage Museum exhibiting the heritage of the Russian Empire. Explore the Winter Palace with its opulent interiors and see the collections of European art presented by such masters as Leonardo da Vichi, Rafael, Titian, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, and others.  

Take a stop for lunch in a local cafe and visit the Church on the Spilled Blood, one of the most picturesque constructions of St Petersburg. The last activity of the excursion before returning to the cruise ship is taking a boat trip on the rivers and canals.
