INTRODUCTION
This is a unique and special tour. My name is Sophia Dmitrieva-Tovmassian and I am the publisher of The Arts, Culture and Tourism - St. Petersburg - Magazine in Canada. For the past six (7) years, I had the opportunity to put together and escorted this fabulous tour where no other tour companies are offering.
I was born and raised in St. Petersburg (Russia) it is my City, my Soul, and my Passion. I know where to stay, where to eat, what to see and visit. I have kept my artistic and business contacts in Europe and Russia. These contacts has allowed me to share with you an elaborate tour full of details and rich in culture including the arts, theatre and concert performances. A 10 years old boy wrote after visiting St. Petersburg “I was impressed by this city’s rich culture, amazing architecture and versatile art scene, its fabulous canals and rivers. I could speak for hours about the beauty of the city, but most of all, I loved the Hermitage with its grand rooms and galleries. Later that night, when we took a boat trip along the scenic canals, the city appeared mysterious and I felt as if I was in a fairy tale”.
White Nights Festival
St. Petersburg seasonal phenomenon the so-called “White Nights” are not unique to the city, but it is the world’s only metropolis where such an event occurs every summer. Nights start becoming brighter in St. Petersburg from late May to late July. Quoting Pushkin’s White Nights “one dawn is replacing the next one, having given to the night only half an hour.”
St. Petersburg - Boutique Hotel “Happy Pushkin
I chose a small boutique-hotel “Happy Pushkin” on the banks of the Neva. This is not just a name. This old mansion has the first apartment where Alexander Pushkin and his beautiful wife Natalie stayed after their wedding. Thus, from the very first days we find ourselves in the heart of the historic past of my amazing city. We will spend seven nights in this unique hotel, where we will be received as the most honored guests. The hotel combines modern comfort and atmosphere of the Pushkin epoch. Every room has its own unique charm with all the amenities necessary to make your stay very comfortable.
Scandinavian Cruise
Experience a 3 days/2 nights fairy tale like floating 5* star hotel on-board the luxurious Siljia Ferry, a 14deck ferry which will take us for a wonderful voyage on the Baltic Sea from Helsinki to Stockholm return. You will see wonderful sunrises and sunsets, fjords, bays and islands and a taste of Scandinavian life. The ferry/ship offers evening entertainment, casino, dance hall, karaoke, duty free shops and Scandinavian cuisine in restaurants and bars. Accommodations are in standard cabins with a window.
Conclusion
Throughout this entire unforgettable journey, we will be accompanied by licensed bilingual tour guides, art scholars, cultural studies specialists, and historians. In St. Petersburg as well as in Stockholm, I will show you places which usually are overlooked by normal standard excursion tours.
