About tour

The Rooftop tour of St. Petersburg is a very exciting experience. Actually, it's an alternative culture more popular among youngsters, but adults often enjoy it even more. Standing on a roof and watching other roofs, domes, spires and streets well below you with tiny people rushing on their business gives an unbelievable feeling of freedom and joy. Our Rooftop tour will start with climbing up back stairs of a 6-storey rental house in the very center of the city (please notice there are no elevators!) On the way up, our guide will tell you about St. Petersburg rental houses, back staircases, courtyard-wells and notorious "kommunalki" (traditional Russian shared apartments). You will get into an old attic which still has some traces from World War II. Here the instructor will give a short briefing on safety regulations. Two flights of vertical stairs about 2 meters each, and you will find yourself in a small tower. It's so called anti-aircraft defense tower which was used during WW2 as an observation post. The guide will tell you about the war and the siege of Leningrad and those women and teens who at the time of bombing and shelling risked their lives there doing anti air raid patrols. The tower has an open gallery around and next to it there is a walkway on the roof protected with railing. Now you will have a chance to enjoy the breathtaking view - the gulf, the port and the shipyard, huge golden dome of St. Isaac's, the roof and the dome of the Winter Palace, Alexander Column with an angel, Singer House tower topped with an enormous glass globe, multicolored domes of the Spilled Blood Cathedral and many other cathedrals and domes and roofs. While you enjoy this panoramic view, your guide will give all the detailed explanations and tell all the stories. And last but not the least, the photos taken on this tour will be the most unusual and exotic photos from your entire trip.
