Dinner with a Russian family with private roundtrip transportation

The symbol of Saint Petersburg - onion-domed cathedral that stands out from the neo-classical surroundings of the city-center. The church is decorated with lots of mosaics inside and outside, the domes are covered with colorful enamels. The church was built on the very place where Tsar Alexander II was mortally wounded in 1881. 

This fortress, built to deflect Swedish raids, was the city’s very first structure. While the view from the fortress ramparts is fantastic, the main attraction is Trezzini's Peter and Paul Cathedral. Almost all Romanovs including Nicholas II, are buried here. There are several other museums scattered around the fortress grounds, like the political prison museum or St. Petersburg history exhibition and you can buy a special day ticket which enables access to all.

Hermitage is one of the largest museums in the world. But it is also the magnificent Royal Palace with stunning rooms and unbelievable views. The collection began as the project of Catherine the Great in 1764. Now it’s the temple of art, where you can see the works of Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, de Goya and many other prominent painters from all over the world.

The meal typically includes assorted salads, assorted pickles, blini with salmon caviar, sour cream or jam, pelmeni (meat dumplings), a freshly-baked home-made sweet pie, hot tea from a real samovar.

As you leave Saint Petersburg on your way to the nearest suburb of Vsevolozhsk, you will drive along the Road of Life - the highway leading to the north-east of the city towards Ladoga Lake. Trucks loaded with children and women traveled along the road to try to save the weakest ones from the besieged city during World War II. The 'Flower of Life' monument is a memorial to all children who had died in Leningrad during the Siege. It is a very tragic page of city history, but one that we should always remember.

St. Isaac's Cathedral is dedicated to Peter the Great's favorite saint. It is the biggest cathedral of Russia and ranks among the largest cathedrals of the world. It was built between 1818 and 1858, to be one of the most impressive landmarks of the Russian Imperial capital. It's not only the giant structure but also the collection of the greatest engineering innovations.
