About tour
This tour is meant for those guests who want to see the bestest of all but have strong time constraints. We include in this tour the most spectacular suburban palace – the Catherine Palace, and the most magnificent parks – parks of Peterhof. Normally, we start the tour with the Catherine Palace. There you will go down the Golden Enfilade to the Grand Hall, see the Amber Room and rooms decorated for Catherine the Great. In the afternoon, you will enjoy the famous parks of Peterhof – the Lower Park and the Upper Garden. Innumerable fountains, statues, gilt, pavilions, and palaces make the parks really unique. And the smooth water of the Gulf of Finland in the distance just adds extra charm to the Lower Park. The tour is available in the summer season only. No break for lunch is included in the tour timeframe but you can always make a stop to have a cup of coffee. If you need a full-course lunch, please state it in the Comments, and we will extend the tour duration by one hour, which will be charged an extra cost. We always do our best to avoid lines. So, on some days the order of sight visits can be changed.

Russian ballet is primarily a classical ballet that preserves the traditions of the 19th century. This does not mean that we do not have a modern ballet, we have one, and it is a very good modern ballet (for example, the Boris Eifman troupe). But it is classical ballet that is truly unique, because nowhere else in the world is it raised to such a high level.
