Located on the Gulf of Finland and modelled after Versailles, Peterhof was the summer residence of Peter the Great.

Its greatest feature is the 150 stunning water fountains located in the surrounding grounds. The park contains a spectacular Great Palace as well as many smaller ones, including Mon Plaisir, the favorite of Peter.

  Itinerary:
It is possible to spend the whole day in Peterhoff - there are so many things to see. It is a big place with many palaces - but we can see a lot in 6 hours.

The itinerary will vary depending on your interest and preference. Besides the Great Palace, Peterhof offers a great many places of interest, smaller palaces, beautiful parks and gardens with 150 fountains.

Please let me know if there are particular things on the Peterhof grounds you would like to see. Or we can decide on our way to Peterhof from St Petersburg.
  Where and When:
Meet up location: I will meet you anywhere in St.Petersburg where you will be staying.
End location: I take you back to your hotel or anywhere else where you want.
Duration: 6 hours
The tour to Peterhof may greatly vary depending on how much time you wish to spend there. Because Peterhof has about a dozen museums on it grounds and beautiful parks with 150 fountains. Each of them is intersting and worth seeing! So I put 6 hours which includes the time for the road, walking in the park, visitn at least a couple of palaces-museums, and maybe a short lunch in the garden.
