St. Petersburg Tours

"I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key…"

Winston Churchill

This famous saying can also be referred to St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg is not just a fascinatingly beautiful place, it is a city of special character and remarkable fate, a magic combination of the old-fashioned and the modern, mythology and reality, mysticism and prose.
We offer a variety of excursions and tours around St. Petersburg which are more than trivial sightseeing and introduce you to the phenomenon of St. Petersburg within the context of the Russian  and global history and culture.
We invite you to see the unique architectural ensembles of Peter and Paul Fortress, the Winter Palace and the Hermitage, St. Isaac’s Cathedral and the Church of the Saviour-on-the-Blood, the world-famous Peterhof and its fountains, the Great Catherine Palace and its Amber Room, the romantic Pavlovsk and its parks.
Elizabethan Baroque, the Catherine Classicism, Neo-Russian style and Art Nouveau found side by side reflect the influence of European art schools and the tastes of princely owners, and show the one and only “Petersburgan style”.
For over 200 years St. Petersburg was the capital of the Russian Empire, its history represents the history of Russia: the plots and coup d’Etat of the 18th century, the secret societies and the attempted murders of the 19th century, the Revolution of 1917, the Stalinist repressions of the 1930s and the German fascist blockade of Leningrad during WW II – the future of the whole country was shaped here.
Most riddles of the life and death of the staged here Russian historic drama characters are still waiting to be solved, most events and personalities (Peter the Great and Catherine the Great, Paul I and Alexander, Nicholas II and Rasputin) stir up disputes and conflicting opinions.
St. Petersburg is an illusory world inhabited by ghosts and phantoms, where legends, tales and prophecies (which often mystically turn true) have become an integral part of reality.
The unique cultural background of St. Petersburg – music, literature, fine art - has always been open to Western European influences but Russian-rooted. The world-famous museums of St. Petersburg like the Hermitage and the Russian Museum introduce you to the richest art collections of the world.
St. Petersburg has always been a source of inspiration for poets, writers, painters and musicians who created their own “St. Petersburg style”.  Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tchaikovsky  used to live here and settled their characters in the neighbourhood, and the town of “The Queen of Spades” and “The Crime and Punishment” does exist in reality just like the town of their authors.

Let’s try to find a clue to the magic phenomenon of St. Petersburg together.
