What to do in St. Petersburg? Sounds like a silly question. There s plenty of attractions. But if you happen to visit the city in late spring or summer or early autumn, there s on thing that is an absolute must-do: taking a boat tour along St. Pete s famous rivers and canals. If you come by youself or with your family or a group of friends, the easiest way to do it is to take a boat trip with Anglotourismo, the company that was the first in St. Pete to run this kind of cruises in English specially for people who prefer to travel independently rather than as a part of package tours.

Routes and features:
Our 11.00 o’clock tour goes to 5 different canals rivers. Enjoy the views of the charming Kolomna discrict, St. Nicholas Cathedral, Yussupov Palace nearly 50 bridges along the route!
Unfortunately, due to reconstruction works on one of the bridges over the Moika river (the Blue Bridge in St. Isaac s suare) the 11.00 tour is forced to follow route 2 instead of route 1.
13.00 . 15.00 . 17.00 . 19.00 and 21.00 tours tend to go along the Fontanka and the Neva rivers. Main sites along the way include Anichkov Bridge, Engineer’s Castle, Summer Gardens, the Salt District, Field of Mars, Church on Spilt Blood. St. Peter and Paul’s fortress. Trinity Bridge, the Winter Palace. the Kunstkamera. St. Isaac’s Cathedral and the University of St. Petersburg.
As we all know, every city looks different in the dark, but our 00.20 tour offers even more! This is likely to be the best opportunity to find out all about St Petersburg’s famous White Nights Festival. As your guide’s commentary helps you out recognize the sites along the river banks that may look unfamiliar in the dusk, enjoy the cool breeze from the Gulf of Finland, salute to a raised bridge on the Neva with a glass of champagne (bringing your own is not a terrible crime) and join the improvised race of dozens of water bikes, yachts and motor boats on the way back to the dock!
