Fantastic, this is one of the must-see excursions in Russia. We had a great guide - very knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. Would use her again. All the arrangements were done professionally, and we got value for money.

Peterhof is an hour out of St. Petersburg through terrible traffic over mediocre roads but worth the trip. The palace itself is in the same opulent style as the other palaces, i.e. the Winter, Catherine's, Pavlovsk. The unique aspects of the palace are the amazing and beautiful waterworks and the surrounding park with its streams and walkways. The park is a relaxing stroll after several days of touring palaces and the like. If possible book in the morning to avoid the massive crowds in the palace, and request an experienced guide who not only knows the subject matter but can stand up to the guides for the large tours and the palace attendants that try to bulldoze the private tours. Also insist on a comfortable vehicle for a three-hour trip, otherwise you may share the backseat of a small Citroen with someone else for those three hours, as the two of us did.
