After meeting your local guide at the St Petersburg cruise port, relax on a small-group shore excursion of the city by comfortable vehicle. Your sightseeing tour includes famous churches such as St Isaac's Cathedral and Kazan Cathedral, as well as landmarks such as Palace Square, Nevsky Prospekt, Fontanka River and more!

Listen to commentary about important monuments, such as how the legendary battleship Aurora signaled the start of the October Revolution. Then, visit Peter and Paul Fortress, constructed for fortification but later used as a political prison, and see the 18th-century Peter and Paul Cathedral, a unique example of Russian architecture that served as a burial-place for Russian emperors for almost two centuries.

Next, enjoy an elegant lunch in a restaurant that serves traditional Russian cuisine. Afterward, relax on a drive to Gostiny Dvor, the city’s oldest shopping center, which took more than 28 years to build starting in 1757. Once housing one of the largest shopping arcades in Europe, the indoor complex holds more than 100 shops.

Browse the small shops and bazaars for unique local finds before transport back to the St Petersburg cruise port.
