Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: Neva Embankments, St. Petersburg Russia

Start your tour with a local guide meeting you at your centrally located hotel. You will be provided with complimentary city maps, bottled water, rain coats (in case of rain) and farewell gifts. Your private guide will be accompanying you throughout the duration of this tour.

Stop At: Park And Gardens of Peterhof, Razvodnaya st., 2, Peterhof, St. Petersburg Russia

From your hotel you will be taken to the pier. We offer an exciting way to reach Peterhof. Hydrofoil (fast speed boat) will take you down the Neva river and Gulf of Finland to the famous "Kingdom of Fountains" in a very short time! The ride to Peterhof was approximately 40 minutes.

After arrival to Peterhof you will head inside the vast palace complex to explore its gardens and palatial buildings. Peterhof is often referred to as the Russian Versailles – a nickname that testifies to the site’s opulent grandeur – and your guide will introduce you to its best bits while talking about its history.

Wander through the Lower Park to discover some of 140 fountains and water features. The most impressive is the Grand Cascade, located directly below the Grand Palace and featuring an impressive golden statue of Samson grasping the mighty jaws of the lion.

Stop for photos by the incredible Grand Cascade – a masterpiece that was partly engineered by Tsar Peter the Great himself.

Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes

Stop At: Peterhof Grand Palace, Razvodnaya St., 2, Peterhof, St. Petersburg 198516 Russia

Then, head inside the Grand Palace and marvel at the lavish interiors left by the successive emperors and empresses who once called the place home. Tour the lush chambers inside the Grand palace.

After exploring the best places in Peterhof Grand palace and garden complex, you will be taken back to St Peterburg by a hydrofoil (public fast speed boat).

Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes

Our guide Kseniya arrived spot on time to collect us from our hotel. We went by Hydrofoil both ways to Peterhof, a good choice, considering the awful traffic in St Petersburg. We chatted non stop, asking many questions and always supplied with courteous, informative answers. Her English was impeccable. Peterhof was delightful and the grounds with so many fountains were absolutely beautiful. It was apparent from the beginning that Kseniya was passionate about Russian history and we so enjoyed our time with her. I would recommend Kseniya to anyone.
