School tours in Saint Petersburg
School tours in Saint Petersburg — this is a convenient travel format for a class: with a clear program, a guide, a route suited to the children's age, and organization of the main details. Such a trip helps students see the city not just through a textbook: walk through places of history and literature, admire palaces and fortresses, visit museums, go to the suburbs, or choose an interactive program.
«Ленинград-Тур» selects tours for schoolchildren in Saint Petersburg and its suburbs: sightseeing routes, museums, the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage, Peterhof, Pushkin, Kronstadt, Gatchina, Vyborg, and other destinations. A program can be chosen for elementary school, middle school, or high school.
The main goal of such a tour is for the children to have fun, the teacher to feel at ease, and the parents to understand what they are paying for. We help coordinate the route, pace, duration, transport, tickets, and supervision format.
