Why Choose a Private St Petersburg Shore Excursion
Be sure that St Petersburg will be a highlight of your journey: the former capital of the vast and extremely rich Russian Empire for more than 200 years, home of stunning palaces for royal family and luxurious palatial mansions for the nobility, the Hermitage Museum, Faberge House and Russian ballet; the city of 3 revolutions which preserved its undying beauty and elegance even after a 900 day siege from Nazi Germany… there is too much to see, learn and experience during 2-3 short days! We know how to help you and give 10 reasons why you should choose a private St Petersburg Shore Excursion for your visit to the Cultural Capital of Russia:
