St Petersburg History School Trips & Tours - 20th Century History
The grandeur of St Petersburg gives a vivid insight into Russian society on the eve of revolution and its canals, squares and buildings were the backdrop against which the events of the revolutions of 1905 and 1917 were played out. This least Russian of all Russian cities is nonetheless among the most fascinating to the historian and the most beautiful to all visitors.
Our bilingual City Representatives have looked after schools for many years and understand the specific needs of your history school trip group. In addition, we have a number of expert city guides who will accompany you on your excursions and are extremely knowledgeable about the museums and palaces you visit.
