Tours in St. Petersburg, Russia are offered by our Russian partners, Best Guides.

You are traveling with children and it is great! We would like to offer you some tours which are designed specially for children - informative, but at the same time entertaining, where the information, as well as the timing of the tours, will be adopted to the age of your kids. 

The special offer "St. Petersburg for Children" consists of three tours:

1. City tour ''Secrets of St. Petersburg''
   We will show your children St. Petersburg to make it interesting and exciting. This tour is very different from an ordinary city tour.
2. Hermitage tour ''Palace of Wonders''
   It is half a tour, half a game. Your children will feel little princes and princesses on a visit to the Russian Tsar.
3. Peteshoff ''Paradise of Fountains''
   This place is always the first choice to take children to. The Gardens of Petershoff are just made for the kids to enjoy themselves!

City tour ''Secrets of St. Petersburg''The tour consists of two parts, which we do either on one day with a break for lunch or on two different days. It also differs a bit for children of different age.

Part one (1,5 hours):

• Nevsky Prospect - the main street of the city.
• The Spit of the Basil Island - one of the most beautiful places of the city with a magnificent view of the Neva River.
• Peter and Paul Fortress - we will enter it through a secret hidden passage and climb the rampart. On the way we will find a secret stone with inscriptions to be read. After that we will go to the political prison (optional) and enter the actual cells where the Russian revolutionaries were imprisoned. We will also learn the special prison alphabet and the secret ways of communication. Then we will visit the Cathedral of St.Peter and St.Paul to see the tombs of the Russian Tsars.
• The Aurora cruiser - a historical ship which is the symbol of the October revolution in Russia. We will go on deck and see the gun famous for the historical blank short that started the Soviet Era.

Part two (1,5 hours):

• St. Isaac Cathedral. We will visit the largest Russian Cathedral decorated with marble and semiprecious stones and go up to the colonnade (optional) to get the bird’s-eye view of the city.
• Stop at the Manezhnaya square, where a strange creature Cinemataur by name is guarding the keys to the secrets of St. Petersburg. We will have to find those keys.
• A walk along the Malaya Sadovaya street, where we will meet the famous St. Petersburg cat Vasily by name and his friend Vasilissa. We will also see the fountain "Time" and try to make it work for us.
• In the end of the tour we will see one secret place where only those who have the magic keys can enter (they may of course take their parents with them). The place is such a big secret that we can not write about it here - only those who go on this tour will find it out.
