For about 10 years I have been doing my favorite thing - I introduce guests of St. Petersburg to our beautiful city and suburbs. It is very important for me that my tours are held at a high level, both from an organizational and substantive point of view. I constantly develop new unusual excursions, I believe that only in this way a guide can remain in excellent professional shape. I work in English and Russian and have all the necessary licenses.

We offer an in-depth, 3-hour tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the earliest architectural ensemble of St. Petersburg. We will visit not only the Petropavlovsk Cathedral, which became the tomb of the Romanov family, the prison of the Trubetsk Bastion, but also the expositions of the Commandant’s House, giving an idea of the life of St. Petersburg and Petrograd in the period from 1703 to 1918. The exposition in the Commandant’s House is a rare opportunity to see how the city looked in the past, how the life of citizens was arranged, what people of different classes used daily, how they moved around the city. The exhibition presents such interesting items as symbolic keys to the city, a model of a rental house and the first production car "Benz Velo". Depending on the weather and the wishes of guests, you can spend most of the tour at the expositions, or combine a longer walk around the fortress with a tour of permanent exhibitions. During the tour you can witness the noon shot from the cannon from the Naryshkin bastion.
