«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 old-fashioned and modern, mythology and reality, mysticism and prose.

We offer a variety of excursions and tours which are more than trivial sightseeing.
They are perfect for those who are interested in Russian history and history of Russian art, as well as those who would like to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon of St. Petersburg in the context of not only Russian, but also of world history and culture.

We not only give you bare facts, dates, and names, but we also introduce you to the mysterious world beyond city guidebooks. We can help you see the meaning of the signs and symbols of different periods from a Russian cultural and historical perspective, understand the origin and consistency of various architectural styles and artistic tendencies, as well as political trends and parties.

Dear Timofey,
Our party of seven friends engaged your services on the recommendation of friends who had toured with you previously. We found your presentation of your city and its features enthralling; you were never at a loss to be efficient, informative and interesting, to answer our questions, to keep us moving through the occasional crowd and to make good eating and entertaining recommendations. We would like to come back and in the meantime have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone sincerely interested in all St. Petersburg has to offer.
Kindest regards
Chris Hodson USA
Dear Timofey,
A heart felt thank you from Billy and me for making our time in St. Petersburg so special and interesting. We are so grateful to have made a wonderful new friend and to have been so fortunate to partake of all of your knowledge. A long trip back home - but pretty smooth all in all.
With love and best regards,
