Tuesdays

!!! 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 a Tuesday in St. Petersburg (Closed are: Catherine Palace and Russian Museum)

AIDA mar is always and Costa Luminosa is sometimes on Tuesdays in St. Peterburg when Russian Museum and Catherine Palace are closed. In such cases I would like to offer the following tour options.

Please see below, what is included in the 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 tme you intend to be in St. Petersburg, then of course do not leave anything out, but follow your wishes.


Please consider also tour options offered on the last Tuesday of the month as they can be conducted on any Tuesday.


- AIDA mar (8:00-20:00) - except for the last Tuesday of the month (27.05, 24.06, 29.07, 26.08)
