Majestic St.Petersburg

6 days/5 nights guided tour
from £899

We created this tour as the simplest possible way to enjoy Russia’s Imperial capital on your own, but including many facilities that are difficult to organize independently.
Our basic package offers great value for money and includes: direct flights with British Airways; 5 nights accommodation (B&B) based on twin occupancy in either budget 3* or good quality 4* hotels; arrival and departure transfers; and a half-day guided city tour. You can upgrade your tour with any excursion mentioned on page X. As this is a group tour, it’s not possible to select an alternative hotel but you can upgrade to a superior room or pre-book evening meals for added comfort and convenience.
Please note that St Petersburg is especially enjoyable in June during the ‘Stars of the White Nights’ festival, celebrating the opera, ballet and classical music of Russia. The entire city comes alive with performances in theatres, parks and streets. The ‘White Nights’ are a natural phenomenon unique to this Northern area, when night becomes indistinguishable from day, so the city doesn’t even need to turn the street lights on at all!

Day 1. Arrival in St. Petersburg. Following our direct flight with British Airways, you will be met at the airport by a Russia Revealed representative, who will escort you to your hotel. The evening is free. Why not take a stroll along the city’s main shopping avenue, Nevsky Prospekt?

Day 2. Your experienced guide will introduce you to some of St. Petersburg’s highlights. This half-day tour allows you to get your bearings and whet your appetite for further exploration.  In the evening, there’s an optional performance at the Mariinsky theatre, which is fast becoming the most important ballet and opera house in Russia. Don’t miss the chance to see it with your own eyes!

Day 3. Full-day guided tour to Pushkin (Tsarskoe Selo), the town made famous by Catherine’s Palace. Here you will find a jewel of the Russia Baroque style: the breathtaking Grand Ballroom, the Hall of Lights and the Amber room, considered to be one of the modern wonders of the world.

Day 4. Trip to Petrodvorets to view Peter the Great’s Summer Palace and gardens. The formal gardens are dominated by 137 extravagant fountains

Day 5. Finish your St. Petersburg holiday in style with a visit to the awesome Hermitage museum. Within its wall, over three million works of art are just waiting to be discovered. Afternoon is free to explore as you wish.

Day 6. Say goodbye to the city in the morning. Later, your guide will transfer you to the airport for your afternoon flight back to
the UK.

If wish to include an opera or ballet performance in St Petersburg, Russia Revealed will be happy to arrange it for you.
