Your scenic tour includes skip-the-line tickets and admissions to historic city sights like the Museum of Vodka where you can enjoy a vodka tasting and traditional Russian snacks plus a three-course lunch at a local restaurant as you learn about its history. With the chance to enjoy a panoramic boat cruise and take in the stunning sights of St. Isaac's Square, this scenic private excursion is ideal for culture connoisseurs.

St. Petersburg boasts beautiful palaces, captivating cathedrals, and ornate museums. Enjoy them all from start to finish on this scenic full-day private guided tour. Start by meeting up with your local guide outside your port and hop on a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle to enjoy a scenic sightseeing tour of St. Petersburg. As you travel through the city, stop to take postcard-worthy photos of stunning landmarks and iconic sites, such as St. Isaac's Square, where you can catch breathtaking views of the gilded dome of Russia's largest Orthodox cathedral.

Discover masterful artwork from the likes of famous Flemish, Italian, and Spanish artists, such as Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Velasquez.

This ornate Russian Revival-style Russian Orthodox cathedral stands on the site of the assassinated Russian Emperor Alexander II and functions as a state museum today. As an alternative to the Church on Spilled Blood, explore the 18th-century St. Peter and Paul Cathedral if you're visiting St. Petersburg the day the Church on Spilled Blood is not open.

Follow your guide next to the iconic Russian Vodka Museum as you learn about the history of this strong drink and Russian drinking traditions. Indulge in mouthwatering vodka sampling, tasty Russian snacks, and a delicious three-course lunch complete with traditional Russian cuisine at a local restaurant.
