Description
We invite you to take an exciting walking tour through the most atmospheric corners of our city, accompanied by an experienced guide!

St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, known for its majestic palaces and parks, canals, and drawbridges. However, in Peter's city, there are lesser-known gems, as if hidden from the eyes of passersby, completely unique sights that our professional guide will introduce you to.
You will visit the city's courtyards, see apartment buildings with impressive imperial facades, and learn interesting facts about the history of these buildings, as well as about their famous residents and owners. An incredible and different opportunity to enjoy the beauties of the city, which locals pass by every day and do not always notice. Discover what happened to all these buildings after the Russian Revolution. Although the facades of these old buildings appear as elegant palaces preserved from the Russian Empire, the truth is different. During the Soviet Union, all these places were expropriated, turning their interiors into Communalkas (communal apartments) where several families could live. Want to know more? Follow me...
