Explore St Petersburg with a private guide on a 4-hour city highlights tour! Learn all about the city history as you travel around the city by private vehicle, and stop for photos and strolls near key attractions like the Church on Spilled Blood and Winter Palace, home to the Hermitage Museum. See Peter and Paul Fortress and visit Nevsky Prospekt, the city’s main shopping street. The itinerary can be tailored to your preferences.

This ticket allows you to visit the Yusupov Palace and its special exposition "Grigory Rasputin: pages of life and death"; wax figures of the terrorists are demonstrated; you can see the figure of Rasputin in that very cellar where this powerful old man was killed.

On route, hear about the palace’s original owners, the Yusupovs, one of Russia’s wealthiest 18th-century families. The last Yusopov prince, Felix Yusopov, murdered Grigory Rasputin, the distrusted advisor to Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II and his wife, in 1916 — inside the palace itself. On arrival, use your pre-booked ticket to bypass the main lines and head inside with your guide. Ascend to the second floor, and explore the extravagant chambers, left as they were in the 1800s. Admire the Ballroom, Green Drawing Room, and theatre;  and explore other, ground-floor rooms including the Turkish Study, where Felix played billiards and the Moorish Drawing Room. Then, see where Rasputin’s murder took place. Hear about the monk’s life, and learn about his gruesome death from the exhibits
