DAY ONE BUDGET SERVICE IN ST PETERSBURG
Our day will start by meeting at the the beautiful Palace Square. This is main square in St. Petersburg, which is home to the Winter Palace, Hermitage, Alexander Column and much more! After enjoying the sights of Palace Square we will enter the Hermitage museum. We'll skip the lines because as a licensed St. Petersburg tour guide I skip the lines and use VIP entrance. After enjoying the art in the Hermitage, we'll have a walking tour and can focus on your specific areas of interest such as architecture or we can visit the Choral Synagogue. Eventually we will arrive at St. Isaac's Square. While on the square I'll point out famous landmarks like the Astoria Hotel and the home of the author Alexander Pushkin. Inside the St. Isaac's Cathedral you'll have an opportunity to marvel at the architecture. Forty different types of stone where used to construct this amazing cathedral! When I was a girl, St. Isaac's was a museum because the Soviet Government did not permit any religion. In St. Petersburg so much has changed in recent years! Our fun and budget minded tour day will come to a conclusion after our visit to St. Isaac's Cathedral.
Please contact me for availability.
DAY TWO BUDGET SERVICE IN ST PETERSBURG
On this tour day we will start our day by meeting at the Church on Spilled Blood, which is famous for its architecture and onion domes. Once inside the church I'll point out the architectural highlights of the church and explain its history. For example, on multiple occasions it was almost torn down and it was even used as a warehouse! Now it is an iconic symbol of Russia and St. Petersburg! If you enjoy shopping for a bargains, we can make a stop at the marketplace where you have an opportunity to negotiate for your St. Petersburg souvenir. Next it's a walk along the canal to Kazan Cathedral, which has three great halls. Each hall is 60 meters high! Our next stop will be at Art Square where you will have an opportunity to admire the art of various street vendors. You will also have an opportunity to purchase some art. Once we arrive at Art Square, your day with me will be concluded and you can enjoy Art Square independently.
