1. Authentic Saint Petersburg Tour - Kolomna District Experience by MOST PETERSBURG
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 4 reviews
Authentic St.Petersburg Tour - Kolomna District Experience Private Guided Tour in St.Petersburg, Russia There is a place in the city, which can show you the real and unique St. Petersburg with its amazingly mysterious and romantic atmosphere — it is the Kolomna District. This district is often called "the most authentic Petersburg" because it does not look like the fanciful Nevsky Prospect neither does it look like boring outskirts. It is a historical area of the city, where the spirit of the old city still lives. In Kolomna we will see the constant patterns of rivers and canals and the famous place from which you can see most of the bridges in St. Petersburg — the so- called Semimostie or the place of Seven Bridges. It is the best place to walk and enjoy awesome sights of the romantic old city.

What could be more impressive then seeing the beauty of Saint Petersburg leisurely from the water? The city is criss-crossed with small rivers and canals, which makes the city look like Venice or Amsterdam. Never miss a chance to take a St Petersburg canal tour while you are here. The St Petersburg canal tour is even more impressive during White nights. Imagine going underneath raised bridges, surrounded by marvellous architecture, glowing palaces and illuminated mansions.

We booked a 2 day tour that unfortunately had to be cancelled because the cruise was cancelled. Working with Alexei Volkov before and after the cancellation was a pleasure.
