Most of the cruise lines spend two days in St. Petersburg. Usually people want to cover the city's main attractions and this suggested tour allows you to see them all.
We'll do a sightseeing tour: visit Peterhof, Pushkin (Catherine Palace with Amber Room), Peter and Paul Fortress, Savior on the Blood Church, the Hermitage. This is a tour of 'moderate' activity, neither very relaxed, nor very active, so some things can be included or excluded if your wish (like hydrofoil).
Extra evening program (ballet, folk show, restaurant) can be added if you wish.
The sights can be rearranged as museums have days off on different days.
If you like the itinerary, but you're not on the cruise I'll deduct port fees and visa free arrangements, so the program will cost you less.
