Walking Tour + Boat Tour ( North Venice)

On this guided city tour you will be walking through the city center of St. Petersburg. During this excursion you’ll get an excellent sight of the history, architecture and main landmarks of the city. First, walk along Nevsky Prospect (main avenue of the city); Cross the Anichkov Bridge famous for its four equestrian statues; Walk along the Fontanka river embankment and have a short stop to see the statue of "Chizhik Pyzhik" and hear the story of this curious little bird. Pass the Mikhailovsky (Engineering) Castle – a former residence of the Emperor Paul I and Summer Garden with fountanes. Walk through Mikhailovsky garden towards The Church of the Savior on the Spilt Blood (the monument of Russian Orthodox architecture built on the spot where the tsar Alexander II was assassinated). Walk across Konushennaya Square, go along the Moika river embankment and all the way to the Palace Square with its Triumphal Arch and the Winter Palace facing each other and the Alexander Column in the middle. Walk along Nevsky and see the Kazan Cathedral, Gostiny Dvor and other places of interest.

Our sightseeing boat tours of the historic small-scale and ceremonial Petersburg with a private guide are very popular. Boat trips around St Petersburg along the rivers and canals are a great alternative to excursions on land transport.  

 The bridges, openwork railings and curved parapets of embankments add charm to this journey.

Saint-Petersburg is often referred to as Venice of the North. Born from the sea foam and specifically designed as a gateway of a strong naval empire, St. Petersburg cannot be imagined without the humpbacked bridges of its channels and world-famous draw bridges of mighty Neva river. Take a river tour on a ‘gondola’ of St. Petersburg – a comfortable water bus or a speedboat – and see the imperial city adorned with chiseled railing of the quays and more than 340 bridges.
