I was born and raised in St.Petersburg and I think it is the most amazing city in the world, you are more than welcome to explore its attractions and nothing makes me happier, than show people around my beautiful city. I usually speak about socio-economic progress of the country, during corresponding period of time in conjunction with the development of different architecture's and art's styles.Along this route we talk about the history of each building and their former famous owners so you'll get a crush course of Russian history as well.So if you are "Intellectually curious" and btw it is not a strict term, the walking tours are just up your alley. Bored with run of the mill, standard tours, where guides just repeat the same old memorized text? I offer walking tours around St.Petersburg and its environs, which are extremely detailed and where you would be able to find out not only the facts, such as who, what, for how long and for how much, using how many kilos etc., but learn both iconography, namely what allegories are used in that particular object of art or architecture, along with iconology, meaning what values were its owners and creators trying to convey.If you want to create meaningful connection with the place, you are going to visit and open your mind to new experiences you are more than welcome to try my lecture tours in a unique style of infotainment (mixing history and anecdotal storytelling) delivered with my own flair.I offer walking tours around St.Petersburg, that are usually off the beaten paths and could be extremely detailed, but crash/introductory course of main highlights of the city is also available upon request.I am a pedant racountuer, which means I can be both academic and entertaining, yet I promise not to overload you with unnecessary details.I'm choosing breathtaking views all over the city, so you would be able to see the sites, that awe and educate.Everyday I work hard to make experience of my clients better and more engaging.Groups are extremely small (four people maximum), personal, and informative the real nitty-gritty of the city and usually the fine details are not overlooked for the more popular highlights.Of course, the main highlights are available for anyone who asks.My area of expertise is in architecture and art history.But where I really exceed, it is Russian history, so you would be able to see things that amaze and hear things that educate.
