Om denne aktiviteten

Start your St. Petersburg tour from Palace Square, which is dominated by the Winter Palace. Next, you'll pass the palace where the famous Beef Stroganoff dish was invented and continue towards St. Isaac’s Square, to see its beautiful cathedral. Get the inside scoop behind the architectural flourishes on this gorgeous building, and discover how it has been used over the centuries. You’ll also see the bronze horseman, a symbol of St. Petersburg.

After crossing the Neva River, stop at a favorite local spot from which you can enjoy panoramic views of the Palace Embankment with its renowned Hermitage Museum, and many prominent St. Petersburg landmarks including St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the Admiralty, and the Chamber of Curiosities.

With your local St. Petersburg guide, you will pay a visit to the oldest structure in the city, and the site where the town of Peter started in 1703. The cathedral located here became the burial place of the Russian emperors and members of their families, from Peter the Great onward. A visit to the cathedral is optional here, but it's well worth taking a peek.

Pass the Summer Gardens and the Field of Mars on the way to the most famous church in town. The church was built on the spot where the Russian emperor Alexander II was assassinated in 1881, and here your guide will tell you the infamous story of how this historical event unfolded. Continue along St. Petersburg's busiest street, home to restaurants, theaters, museums, and ornate palaces of the ex-Russian aristocracy, learning more about St. Petersburg from a local perspective along the way.

All that fresh air and walking will no doubt spark your appetite, so you’ll finish off the tour with a stop for food. Break for lunch in a typical Russian joint to try a traditional dish like borsch (soup), blinis (pancakes), or Beef Stroganoff. It’s here in the café that your tour will end, but you can linger as you like and relax and chat with your guide in the warm, cosy atmosphere.

Kate was an amazing guide, very friendly and considerate esp because i was carrying a sleeping 2 year old toddler while it snows and walking around town. This was a very nice tour and we learned a lot.

This was the best day ever. First time in St. Petes and this tour made me want to come back. Anastasia was an amazing tour guide. She was so knowledgeable about her city and the passion she has is contagious. I got to see all the highlights of the city and made some friends along the way. I was so impressed with Urban Adventures that I signed up for their evening off the beaten path tour. And Anastasia was the tour guide again. This tour is a must for anyone looking to learn about the weird or not so touristic part of St Petes. Anastasia does not disappoint. I can not wait to visit again.

Marie was a most delightful guide, cheery and enthusiastic. She was quite knowledgeable and obviously loves her city. Her English is excellent. While the weather was foul, she came prepared with extra umbrellas.
