Full description
Visit the imperial palaces and gardens of Peterhof, founded in 1710 as the country residence of the Russian czars. Get a better appreciation for life in Russia before the revolution on a small group tour of the buildings and park.
Enter the Grand Place, designed as the centerpiece of Peter the Great's personal Versailles complex. Be amazed by the lavish interiors, and learn how they had to be almost entirely reconstructed after World War II.
Proceed to the Lower Gardens and stroll around the fountains and other features. Inspired by the formal French gardens of the 17th century, highlights of the elegant grounds include the Grand Cascade and the Chess Mountain, tiled like a chess board.
