!!! Dear guests, due to private and family matters (expecting a second child and pursuing studies for UN interpreter and translator) I will NOT be taking orders for the 2016 season !!!
The EMAILS are being FORWARDED to the best of my guides, who will respond to you directly and give their prices.

(Thank you for your understanding and I wish you a nice time in St. Petersburg!)

On the last Tuesday of the month in St. Petersburg (Cosed are: Catherne Palace, Grand Palace in Peterhof, Russian Museum)

Only several visits of AIDA mar and only one visit of Costa Luminosa are on the last Tuesday of a month, when Catherine Palace, Grand Palace in Peterhof, and Russian Museum are closed. In such case I would offer the following tour options.

Please see below what is included in tour price.

Before you pick a tour option, ask yourself if this day is the only time you will be in St. Petersburg or if you intend to revisit at a later stage, perhaps for several days, maybe in late autumn, winter or early spring, when the prices for hotels are lower. If you intend to revisit, them you should focus on things that are only available in summer, such as fountains of Peterhof, Monplaisir Palace and a boat ride on rivers and canals and maybe add some other attractions that are not so crowded in summer, while letting out things like Hermitage for a later visit. If, in turn, this visit is the only time you intend to be in St. Petersburg, then of course do not leave anything out, but follow your wishes.
