Peter and Paul fortress tour
...Great trip! The burial place of the Romanovs. Amazing. The prison was very interesting and there is a large gate that opens onto the Neva that makes for a great photo. My guide Anna was really knowledgable. She spoke perfect English. (Elizabeth C, NY)
Peter and Paul fortress and cathedral tour
...This is magnificent and imposing fortress. Within it's imposing walls it houses a beautiful Cathedral and also what would, in it's early days, have been a prison for both dissident and political prisoners. All in all a geat afternoon spent in this famous and historical fortress. Cathedral with it's dozens of artefacts and tombs of some of Russia's most famous leaders are a "must" for the visitors. Likewise you can make a tour of the internal part of the prison including the cells, punishment block and get a real feel for the life endured by the inmates. (Kudamah W., Basrah, Iraq)
Peter and Paul fortress what to see
...When you visit Petersburg you must visit the Peter and Paul fortress, walk around it, visit its cathedral and for sure walk over the walls and enjoy the view of Neva river. You can also visit other museums and exhibitions like the tunnels, the fortress prison (Trubetskoy) where some of the communist leaders spent some times during the imperial period. The museum of horror is also funny and worth visit. (Teodora, Bucharest, Romania)
Tour of the St Peter and Paul cathedral St Petersburg
...Definitely worth the price for a private tour of the St Peter and Paul fortress. We explored the fortress, cathedral and prison. Maria was wonderful, so highly educated and witty. Great insight into Russian history. Loved the insight that she shared as we toured the cathedral. I truly liked walking through the prison, seeing the multitudes of political prisoners who have called it home over the years. Great guide! (Leanne Family, Wokingham, United Kingdom)
