About this activity

Peterhof, or “Peter’s Court”, dates back to 1715 and is a former summer residence of the Russian Tsars. Most famous for its stunning golden fountains, the palace grounds house several buildings and parks – the Grand Palace (“the Russian Versailles”, now a vast museum of lavish rooms and galleries), Monplaisir (Peter’s outwardly more humble villa), the Grand Cascade (the centrepiece of the palace grounds with over 140 fountains), the Lower Park (parkland along the Gulf with more fountains and pavilions), Marly Palace and Alexandria Park. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the population of St. Petersburg was invited to dine here at a great summer fete held every year.

I CANNOT RATE THIS TOUR because our arrival in St. Petersburg Russian customs is terrible was delayed by 2 hours and we missed our meeting time by 90 minutes. We went to the agreed meeting place, but the tour folks were long gone. That is not the tour company's fault and it's not our fault. However, it was Sunday and the contact phone number was unanswered when we tried to notify them of our delay so we could not adjust our times. Other folks in our group booked separate tours and though we were all delayed at customs, the other group members were able to re-arrange and reschedule their tours because they had contact info and the tour guides responded.
