Description

Duration: 6 hours
* During the tour, you will hear a fascinating story about the history of the city on Kotlin Island, about the construction of a dam (or rather, a complex of protective structures), fortifications and forts. There are many types and opportunities to take cool photos in the program. During the tour of the island, we will find answers to your questions: • Why build a fort on the ice of the bay? • How did Peter the Great surprise the Swedes in the 18th century? • What was Pushkin inspired by when he depicted Kronstadt as an island of Brawlers in his fairy tale? • Where did Gagarin find the "navel of the earth"? • Why bury a submarine? If you choose a photo tour, you will have not only a personal guide, but also a photographer. I'll take my camera and take vivid keepsake photos for you. The 6-hour program includes 4 hours on the island and a 2-hour round trip from St. Petersburg along the causeway (a very entertaining trip).

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.
