Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Catherine Palace and Park, Sadovaya St., 7 Tsarskoye Selo, Pushkin, St. Petersburg 196601 Russia
Step inside Catherine Palace for a private tour of this impressive summer residence. Located in the town of Pushkin outside St Petersburg center, the Rococo palace and former home of the Russian tsars is now a museum highlighting 300 years of local history. Learn the story of its origins, wander among its grand halls and marvel at the world-famous Amber Room, a perfect recreation of the gold-leaf and amber paneled chamber that Nazis stole crate by crate during World War II.
If there are no tickets to the Catherine Palace, the tour operator can replace the Catherine Palace with Pavlovsk Palace.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Pavlovsk State Museum, Sadovaya St 20, Pavlovsk, St. Petersburg 196621 Russia
Pavlovsk is the most comfortable of the imperial residences in the suburbs of St. Petersburg. It was built later than others: right up to the end of the 18th century, on the bank of the Slavyanka river, there were forest areas, where Catherine II loved to hunt. In 1777 she granted them to Pavel Petrovich as a summer cottage. Soon wooden mansions were erected with the names "Pauluste" (Paul’s Joy) and "Mariental" (Valley of Mary).

Fabulous!!!!! Can't describe the beauty of the place. A dream spot.
This is an incredible tour with a very knowledgeable and fun guide. Very professional. You go straight into the Palace skipping the long lines. A St. Petersburg must!
Well worth the trip out of Moscow. The palace was beautiful and the Amber Room unusual. Be sure to take the train, not a car. Moscow traffic can be awful.
