Imperial Petersburg
Five private days in St. Petersburg: the Hermitage, Peterhof and Tsarskoye Selo, with time to walk and rest.
Season and plans for changes
- This is the summer programme with its indicative prices. Winter requires a separate proposal with a different sequence of visits and a new quote.
- Fountains and the summer boat return are outside the winter core. For November and April we agree a snow-free plan; special sailings need separate confirmation.
- Holiday dates, museum slots, meals and the language of each excursion are confirmed before booking. Ordinary rates do not establish New Year prices.
Day-by-day program
Day 1 — Arrival and a first walk
We meet you at the airport or station and take you to your hotel. After a rest, walk along Nevsky Prospekt if your arrival time allows. At the welcome dinner, your guide talks through the coming days.
Welcome dinner included. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Day 2 — The Hermitage and the city centre
Visit selected Hermitage galleries with your guide at the booked admission time. After lunch, walk through Palace Square and along the embankments, or return to the hotel. Choose and pay for your own dinner; an evening cruise is a separate option in season.
Breakfast included. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Day 3 — Peterhof
Travel to Peterhof for the Grand Palace and Lower Park, subject to their opening schedules; the fountains operate in season from late April to mid-October. Allow time for lunch and an unhurried park walk by the Gulf of Finland. Return by hydrofoil when the booked sailing runs, or by road if it is cancelled. Dinner this evening is at your own expense.
Breakfast included. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Day 4 — Tsarskoye Selo
Visit Catherine Palace and the Amber Room at the confirmed admission time, then walk in Catherine Park. After lunch, return to St. Petersburg for a free afternoon and a farewell dinner. A theatre visit can be arranged separately, with dinner timed around the performance.
Breakfast included. Farewell dinner included at a venue agreed in advance. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Day 5 — Departure
Have breakfast and, if your flight allows, take a final walk before check-out. Your private transfer is timed to the flight and expected traffic. Early breakfasts and late check-out are subject to hotel arrangements.

How we plan meals
Options vary by region, and halal dining can be limited outside major cities. Before booking, we discuss your requirements and ask kitchens about ingredients and preparation. Where suitable options are unavailable, we propose fish or vegetarian dishes for your approval. This does not mean the restaurant or kitchen is halal-certified.
Price on request
The USD price is calculated at the exchange rate on the day of the request. The site does not publish a fixed dollar rate; we confirm the group, the dates and the services in the proposal.
We recommend medical insurance. It is not included in the tour price and is not required for visa-free entry. For an e-visa, the portal still lists a policy for the whole stay unless an official exemption applies to your citizenship.
