A late breakfast in our old time, elegant apartment in historic center, followed by walking tour of Taurida Gardens, Smolny Cathedral, Fieldmarshall Suvorov’s Museum (outside).
After the walk we come back to the apartment and have late lunch with traditional Russian cuisine - borsch, Russian salad, cabbage or meat pies with wine and spirits, coffee, tea, desserts. Q&A about life in Russia in the past and now.
We speak English fluently, some Italian and German, too. I used to be a tour guide and we love to tell about the city and its history.
Bonus: you will see a typical St. Petersburg "water-well shaped" courtyard inside the building.
