Ahtilahti - your private guide in Saint Petersburg

Four Soviet-related Leningrad Walks tours have been conceived by Vladimir I., a linguist, who was fed up with the myths of the Cold War era and the wrong perceptions of the Soviet times that exist both in Russian and in Western society.

First of all I am a solo traveler, who understood that without quality photos after your trip you will forget the atmosphere of a country very very very soon. And the easiest way to save your memories is a photo walking tour in your trip. Now I stay in St. Petersburg till autumn. And you are always welcome to join my photowalking tours in the city center. I adore Petersburg and would love to show you all the beauty of it.

Aleksey - your private guide in Saint Petersburg

Hello everyone, I'm Yulia (Gardarika - a creative pseudonym) - a guide accredited by the Committee for Tourism in St. Petersburg and Leningrad region. Born and raised on the Karelian Isthmus, in the city of Priozersk, on the shores of the brutally beautiful Lake Ladoga. She graduated from the philological faculty of St. Petersburg State University, the department of Germanic languages. I speak English, German, a little Swedish, I understand written Norwegian. With great pleasure I will explain the words Skär with an etymologist, show the narrowest strait of Ladoga, and also dispel the myth that 300 years ago St. Petersburg was founded on desert swamps. A linguist by education, Snorri Sturluson at heart, an archaeologist at heart – this is how I would briefly describe myself. Philological education, of course, makes it possible to find unique historical material for author's tours. Scandinavian culture has long occupied a special place in my heart due to its intermittent historical connection with the northwestern Ladoga region - my homeland, therefore my author's excursions are based on interest in the ancient history of these places, and love for the mysterious northern nature. I have started my career as a guide-interpreter from working with foreign tourists, worked privately with hotels and individual guests of St. Petersburg. My interests include the formation of the ancient Russian state, the history of Scandinavia and the Swedish city of Nyen, which was located on the site of St. Petersburg in the 17th century. Recently I have been studying materials from the National Archives of Sweden, as well as other original historical documents (in German), on the basis of which I select material for my excursions.

Ekskursii Sankt-Peterburg - your private guide in Saint Petersburg

WHY SHOULD YOU DO MY TOURS Bored with run of the mill, standard tours, where guides just repeat the same old memorized text? I offer walking tours around St.Petersburg and its environs, which are extremely detailed and where you would be able to find out not only the facts, such as who, what, for how long and for how much, using how many kilos etc., but learn both iconography, namely what allegories are used in that particular object of art or architecture, along with iconology, meaning what values were its owners and creators trying to convey. If you want to create meaningful connection with the place, you are going to visit and open your mind to new experiences you are more than welcome to try my lecture tours in a unique style of infotainment (mixing history and anecdotal storytelling) delivered with my own flair. I offer walking tours around St.Petersburg, that are usually off the beaten paths and could be extremely detailed, but crash/introductory course of main highlights of the city is also available upon request. I am a pedant racountuer, which means I can be both academic and entertaining, yet I promise not to overload you with unnecessary details. I'm choosing breathtaking views all over the city, so you would be able to see the sites, that awe and educate. Everyday I work hard to make experience of my clients better and more engaging. Groups are extremely small (four people maximum), personal, and informative the real nitty-gritty of the city and usually the fine details are not overlooked for the more popular highlights. Of course, the main highlights are available for anyone who asks. My area of expertise is in architecture and art history. But where I really exceed, it is Russian history. St. Petersburg is full of surprises, and without doubt, is best experienced on foot. You've probably already heard, that it is often called an open air museum. Each building is an exhibit with its unique history surrounded by mystery, intrigue and even murder. There is no better way to see it than to take a guided walking tour around the historical center of the city and learn the history of Peter's creation. You will not only see beautiful ensembles and royal palaces but would be able to find out about its former creators and owners. Was it a curse or blessing for its inhabitants? You'll learn this and much more. I usually speak about socio-economic progress of the country, during corresponding period of time in conjunction with the development of different architecture's and art's styles. Along this route we talk about the history of each building and their former famous owners so you'll get a crush course of Russian history as well.

Wegotrip Wegotrip - your private guide in Saint Petersburg

Hi, everyone! My name is Anya and I'm a tour guide :) As an experienced traveler, I know how interesting the exploration of a city could be. Unfortunately, the official excursions offered by the companies and touristic bureaus are not always very absorbing and do not allow you TO KNOW the city. How can we feel the vibes of a place sitting on a bus and wandering along crowded corridors of pretentious museums, attending touristic shops, and dining in touristic restaurants? If you are the one who, like me, would not be satisfied with such pure acquaintance with Saint-Petersburg, you came to the right person. Didn't you want, coming to a new city, to meet a friend who will show you the true face of the place? I always wanted to find someone like that in a foreign land so in my home town I decided to become such a person for the newcomers. I travel a lot, but if I'm in SPb - I'm all yours. Text me on WhatsApp to check my schedule.
