If your day itinerary doesn't include a boat trip (like for instance All St. Petersburg Grand or Happy Tour) we suggest you to do it in the evening. You will go along rivers and canals under numerous bridges and see our palaces, mansions and cathedrals at a different angle and with different light. You will get a good chance to enjoy charming and festive atmosphere of a summer evening in St. Petersburg. Duration: 1 h for a boat ride plus time for transportation "White Night tour" (draw bridges) It's the most unusual and exotic evening program we offer. It actually would be better to call it "night program" because it starts at 11 pm and finishes at about 3 am next morning. First you will have a guided drive around the night city when our guide will tell you about White Nights and traditions connected with them. After it the guide will see you to a boat for a night ride along the Neva to see draw bridges from the water. Our driver will patiently wait to bring you back to the ship. NB! The itinerary was developed for our most curious and daring guests and requires special energy. NB! The exact timing could vary depending the day of the week as well as some city events. Duration: 4 hours "Charm of the White Nights" For cruise line passengers who booked our mini-group tours as well as an evening program with the Folk Show or Evening in the Faberge museum we are happy to offer a special guided evening tour "Charm of the White Nights". The tour starts after the end of your evening program and lasts for 1.5 hour. You will be driven around the night city and see the palaces and embankments in White Night light. Your guide will tell you about unique traditions of St. Petersburg White Nights. You will have a chance to experience some of these traditions yourself. You do not have to pay for the tour! It comes complimentary with your evening program! |
