Tours Description

If your cruise ship docks only for 1 day, this private shore excursion in St Petersburg is a great option to cover the most famous attractions in a short time. You will start the day by meeting your private guide in the cruise port terminal and heading to the city center. During the city tour, you will have picture stops at the feet of Rostral Columns, the Sphinxes, St Isaac's Square, Square of Arts and many other remarkable spots. On your way to Peterhof, you will dive into the everyday life of local people and see the heritage of the Soviet era - the famed metro of St Petersburg. Visit 2-3 subway stations that are called 'underground palaces' and continue the trip to the Gulf of Finland. The Lower Park of Peterhof, our next stop, is a magnificent summer estate of the Russian Tsars richly decorated with cascades, fountains and gilded sculpture. 

Return to the city center and have a short break for lunch. After, the guide will show you the Spilled Blood Church, one of the most recognizable attractions in all the city. The last sight of the shore excursion is the Hermitage Museum. Visit the Winter Palace and see the interiors of the former royal residence and explore the collections of European Art collected by the Romanovs. Return to the port and continue your Baltic cruise.
