This tour is meant to be the most kids friendly. Usually the small ones get very tired of all the museums and palaces, so this program is specially designed to keep them interested and not too overwhelmed with facts and figures.
Please note that this tour is always individually created and quoted depending on the number and age of the children in the group. We are always thinking of customized solutions.

Then you drive to Peterhoff – the most luxurious Imperial residence, located near the city. On the way you have a chance to get down to metro and see the spectacular stations looking like underground palaces.
