Description

* During this tour, you will find an interesting story about the history of the most historic of all the historical sites of the city and vivid photographs in its walls (if you choose a photo-excursion). Peter and Paul Fortress is an amazing place with a magical light. For more than 300 years, the Peter and Paul Fortress has been standing on Zayachy Island in the heart of St. Petersburg. It is one of the first buildings of the city, built to defend the future capital of the Russian Empire from the enemy. Back in the early 20th century, the fortress became a museum and to this day its gates are open to tourists from all over the world. During the tour of the fortress, I will introduce you to its internal structure, we will see the first church of the patron saints of St. Petersburg, Saints Peter and Paul, the family crypt of the Romanov dynasty. I will tell you how Peter the Great invented the city, because it is from here that the history of the city on the Neva begins. And we'll take great photos. I will tell you about two amazing mechanisms of the cathedral bell tower that amaze everyone. It is possible to visit museums during the tour.: - Peter and Paul Cathedral - tomb of the Romanovs - Trubetskoy Bastion Prison

Organizer
Меня зовут Наташа Дубовик, я - петербургский гид, фотограф и блогер. Разрабатываю авторские маршруты для экскурсий, квесты и аудио-экскурсии, карты для самостоятельных прогулок по Петербургу для тех, кто любит бродить один. Показываю любимый город гостям и жителям более 10 лет. Родилась в Череповце, пожила в Нью Джерси и переехала в Петербург из любви к городу в 2008 г. Окончила ин.яз, а также несколько курсов по истории, искусству, культуре, архитектуре, фотографии и журналистике. Я- большой любитель театра и книг про Петербург. Меня можно увидеть на улицах города с англо-, франко- и русскоговорящими туристами. Надеюсь, скоро доучить испанский тоже. Я - гордый котовладелец. Моя Софи любит выгуливать нас летом на газоне у дома🐈. Кроме организации экскурсий и фотопрогулок, я преподаю английский и русский, и работаю переводчиком с театральными труппами. Обожаю современную французскую музыку. Недавно за один день погладила коалу, несколько кенгуру и вомбата. Я - великий обниматель. Обнятые мной люди разъехались по всему миру.
