GUIDED TOUR to the HERMITAGE & Boat trip to PETERHOF 

First, you will be taken to admire the beauty of the State Hermitage Museum, that will introduce you the main rooms and expositions of the largest museum of Russia and one of the most significant museums of the world. At present the museum occupies five buildings: the Winter Palace, the Small Hermitage, the Old Hermitage, the New Hermitage and the Hermitage Theatre. Besides the huge collection of paintings, the museum also acquired collections of prints and drawings, classical antiquities, objects of Western European applied art, weapons, coins, medals and books (Voltaire&’s library). In the 19th century the Hermitage began to receive archaeological artefacts which, among other things, formed the nucleus of the celebrated collection of Scythian gold. At the Hermitage you can explore the art of Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Classical Greece and its colonies in the northern Black Sea area. You can also examine the culture of the Etruscans and the primitive tribes of Siberia, as well as see Egyptian mummies, antique pottery, Tanagra statuary and much more. The interiors of the Winter Palace are among the masterpieces of baroque. Apparently, it would take a visitor almost 15 years to appreciate all the treasures the museum houses. That is if one stays at the museum 8 hours a day spending one minute examining each exhibit.Then, our guide and you will walk to the boat station and take a 30 minutes boat trip to Peterhof, enjoying the magnificent views of the city from the water.Peterhof, like St Petersburg itself, is an amazing symbol of Peter's desire to make Russia a sophisticated European power. This is a Russian baroque garden, inspired by Versailles and designed by a pupil of Le Notre (Jean-Baptiste Le Blond). Peter the Great admired Versailles. For his own summer palace he chose a site with a good water supply. It stands on a natural terrace overlooking the Baltic. A fabulous marble cascade flows from the palace towards the sea, along the Samson canal. It symbolises Russia's conquest of the Baltic coast in the Great Northern War. The cascade is lined with gilded statues and leads to a basin with a gilded statue of Samson. On the south front of the palace there is a large parterre, alleys, grass plots, basins, fountains and statues. This garden contains 173 fountains. They line the canal and ornament the woods.You will see 300-acre park on the shore of the Finish Gulf, spectacular fountains, the Grand Palace, crowning the hill above the fountains and numerous smaller Palaces and pavilions representing "Russian Versailles" now. You will enjoy the picturesque Lower Gardens with three unique cascades and dozens of powerful water jets. You will admire a breathtaking central composition of Peterhof - the Grand Palace and Grand Cascade, with its staircases, waterfalls, an avenue of 64 fountains and 37 gilded statues. And, of course, you will have a guided tour of the Grand Palace, one of the most spectacular Russian palaces, representing architectural styles of the 18th - 19th centuries: modest Peter’s Baroque, shining Elisabeth’s Baroque, elegant Catherine’s Classicism and exotic oriental style.
