About this activity

Experience the most visitor-requested sights in St. Petersburg’s historical center on this full-day shore excursion. Designed specifically for those who arrive in the city on ships, which typically stay only one day, the tour provides the most comprehensive itinerary possible for a day’s port of call in the city.
Begin with pickup from the cruise port, river port, or local ferry terminal, and take a city tour to see St. Petersburg’s historical center, with its cathedrals, grand palaces, rivers, and canals.
Enjoy a visit to the fountain park of Peterhof, the one-time imperial residence of Russia’s tsars, and cruise on the River Neva and several picturesque canals to admire the city as it was intended to be seen, from the water.
Take a guided tour of the outside and interior of the stunning Church on Spilled Blood, one of St. Petersburg's most popular and famous sights.
Then, enjoy a break for lunch at a local restaurant. Lunch is provided as part of the tour for groups of eight or more people, and is at your own expense if your group is less than eight.
Visit Palace Square and enjoy a guided look inside the opulent Winter Palace and Hermitage, seeing the highlights of the art collections and rooms of what is one of the world’s greatest museums.
Stroll down Nevsky Prospect, the city’s main avenue, and visit the Fabergé Museum to admire its exquisite exhibits.
After about nine hours, enjoy a transfer and drop-off back at your ship.

The private full day tour led by Viktoria was wonderful. Unlike with group tours, we had some leeway in how long we visited at each location and could focus on sights that were of particular interest to us. Our guide was extremely engaging and knowledgeable her familiarity with the Hermitage museum was incredible. I could have spent an entire day there given the chance. The Peterhof fountains, the Church of Spilled Blood, the Hermitage, cruise on the Neva river and the rest of it was a full day but at the end of it all, Viktoria made sure we made it to the cruise ship in time for departure.
