In fact, the city by itself, the things it consists of - its buildings, avenues, etc - is worth being acquainted with. But first, you will have to get introduced to each other, just in order not to perceive this important meeting as something controversial to your expectations. The ceremony of the acquaintance is kind of intricate, but it always includes the historical part. Why did the founder of Saint-Petersburg decide to move to the north-west all of a sudden? The reconquest of the “primordial lands of Russia” - the slogan of the 20th century - tends us to suggest its irrelevance, as there can be also found not only lots of primordially Finnish and Swedish lands, but also the lands of Novgorod, so it is not really easy to find out which of them are truly Russian. But it all did happen so that the North War started, and one thing led to another. The impulse, that was spread to the city during its foundation, appeared to be so immense, that no prophecies, such as the one that claimed that the city is “empty to be”, could not stop the development of Petersburg. The regularity, consistency, and the clarity of the first plans did not get lost over time, but did find more and more realizations during the process of increasing the city areas, expansion of its boundaries and the growth of its population. The perfectly blend-in nature of the lowland of Neva, that seemed to be obeyed during the first phase, eventually ascended and prevailed over them. And right here, hiding in the brightness of the granite embankments that are looming over the waters of the bridges and other beauties created by human activities, the main secret of the overwhelming charm of the city is hiding. Obviously, three hours - the time given for the sightseeing tour of Saint - Petersburg - is not such a big period of time, that could by itself guarantee something else but the blinking kaleidoscopic fragments of the city of museums, castles and parks. That’s why sometimes there is no need for hurrying. A stop during the tour near the Smolny, Peter and Paul Fortress or the Palace Square will provide you an opportunity to take a closer look at it, while going up to the colonnade of the Saint Isaac’s Cathedral or the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Cathedral - to imbue with the majesty of the original concept, the solemnity of its embodiment, the diversity of the real life. After that, finally coming down to the ground and taking your seat in the tour bus, there will be only one thing for you to do: to think if Saint-Petersburg has a soul, and the place itself - its genius, spirit. In my opinion it truly does, and it indeed can be found. Or you can try to find it - maybe it won’t hide from you. And then you will be on familiar terms with each other... Why not? (video)
Я провожу и индивидуальные экскурсии для небольших групп от 1 до 6 человек, и для групп побольше - при количестве участников от 7 человек.
Принимая Ваш заказ, я уточню Ваши пожелания и на основании этого смогу предложить вид транспорта, который нам с Вами потребуется. Это может быть находящийся в моем распоряжении минивен Лада Ларгус или любой другой вид транспорта, который я закажу для Вас отдельно.
Обычно при группе до 6 человек достаточно минивена, и тогда я сам прекрасно выполняю обе функции – функцию водителя, подразумевающую доставку до места проведения экскурсии и обратно, и функцию экскурсовода.
Если же нам потребуется более вместительный вид транспорта, то водитель в этом случае предоставляется компанией-партнером.
Наша с Вами экскурсия начнется в самом центре Санкт-Петербурга, у памятника Кутузову, что у Казанского Собора. Это недалеко от станции метро Невский проспект.
Дату экскурсии и время встречи мы согласуем заранее, а накануне, за день до нашей встречи, мы созвонимся, чтобы подтвердить нашу договоренность.
