Learn-and-Play - Tour package for families with children

We want kids to remember St. Petersburg as the most exciting and fascinating of all Baltic ports and believe all kids must be happy and enjoy the tours. So we designed special child-friendly tours which are very unlike "typical" tours: we talk to your children in a child-friendly way, play, solve riddles and at the same time show them the city and the sights.

We also know that parents, even the most caring parents, may have their own rights and interests, so we leave some space for customization so that parents would be able to have their own part of St. Petersburg.

St Petersburg child friendly shore tour

...We really enjoyed this family tour. What a great way to get an overview of the city and its history. Our 6 year son old also enjoyed it. Our tour guide went out of her way to include him - she asked him questions throughout the tour, took him to the Knight room at the Hermitage which she had a feeling he would enjoy and she was right. I highly recommend this tour for families with young children, as this was an easy way to tour a city without being overwhelmed. (Valery Andopulos)

Shore tour St Petersburg Russia for families with kids

...We were all looking forward to visiting St. Petersburg, however, but our 6-year-old daughter Emma was the most excited to finally set foot on Russian soil. Emma had started telling us when she was 3 years old that she wanted to go to Russia and here she was at 6 years of age fulfilling part of that goal. Our shore tour for children in St. Petersburg was incredible thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Ludmila. St. Petersburg is truly one of the most beautiful cities in the world. (Jenny, Chicago)
