Availability and Notes

The tour cannot be arranged on Monday or Tuesday due to the museums' operating hours.
The hydrofoil to Peterhof is not operating starting from October until the end of April, extra cost of this option is 15 USD per person
In the off-season from October 14 until April 27 the Fountain park is replaced with the Grand Palace. (During the winter season the park in Peterhof is covered with snow and all fountains are kept under wooden boxes for their preservation).
Please, dress appropriately for the weather.

Tips and Discounts

Children (7 - 17 y.o.)/students get 15 USD off the tour price. Students must have an ISIC card, otherwise the discount is not available.
Gratuities to the guide and driver are not included in the tour price. The sum you wish to give to your guide and driver after a well-done tour should be up to the western standards (approximately 15%). It is a good idea to divide gratuity between your guide and driver and give it separately to them: 10% to the guide and 5% to the driver. Please have some cash with you (USD, EUR or RUB) for this reason, but it is always up to you!
