<div>Russia is filled with beautiful buildings and spectacular landscapes, each unique and breathtaking in its own way. But none can quite compare to Saint Petersburg. Founded by Peter the Great and named in his honor, the city has seen many functions throughout the years. It was a retreat of the Tsar and his family during Russia's imperial years, and all grand imperial residences are still available to tour. Saint Petersburg is a very young city compared to old European capitals and, probably, the only city in the world that has acquired so much historic significance in such a short time. It was founded in 1703 as an outlet to the sea, which was very important for Russia's future development from both strategic and economical points of view.The tour starts from your hotel. You will get acquainted with all city's major highlights: the Winter Palace, former residence of the Russian tsars, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Spilled Blood church, Kazan cathedral, the Admiralty. The guide will take you down Nevsky Prospect, main street of St. Petersburg. You will see the main squares and architectural ensembles of the city, beautiful bridges and Neva river embankments. Your guide will show you our legendary Cruiser Aurora, Log cabin of Peter the Great, University, Point of Vasilievsky island, Egyptian Sphinxes, Menshikov and Yusupov palaces, monuments to Peter the First and Catherine the Second. At the most beautiful places the guide will offer you to make a stop for taking photos.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">During the guided city tour of Moscow visit the Red Squarewhich is a dramatic open cobbled space in the centre of Moscow and now turned into a memorial cemetery and constructed Lenin Mausoleum on one side and Resurrection Gate and chapel on the other.</span>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">During this sightseeing tour, you will have a chance to visit Moscow's most famous landmarks and immerse yourself into the atmosphere of glorious past as you are strolling among the stunning buildings designed and raised centuries ago.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">St. Petersburg's most popular visitor attraction, and one of the world's largest and most prestigious museums, the Hermitage is a must-see for all first-time travellers to the city. With over 3 million items in its collection, it also definitely rewards repeat visits, and new-comers can only hope to get a brief taste of the riches on offer here, from Impressionist masterpieces to fascinating Oriental treasures. One estimate has it that you would need eleven years to view each exhibit on display for just one minute, so many visitors prefer to organize a guided tour to ensure they have time to catch all the collection's highlights. Art aficionados, however, may find it more rewarding to seek out for themselves the works that they are particularly interested in.</span>

Housing a cathedral where the Romanovs are buried, a former prison and various exhibitions, this large defensive fortress on Zayachy Island is the kernel from which St Petersburg grew into the city it is today. History buffs will love it and everyone will swoon at the panoramic views from atop the fortress walls, at the foot of which lies a sandy riverside beach, a prime spot for sunbathing.

One of St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions, the palace and park at Peterhof (also known as Petrodvorets) are often referred to as &quot;the Russian Versailles&quot;, although many visitors conclude that the comparison does a disservice to the grandeur and scope of this majestic estate.

<div style="text-align: justify; ">150 fountains decorate the park within an area of 102,5 hectares. Including the trick fountains: the "Little Oak", the "Umbrella", "Little firs", the "Water road" and "Benches", which are the most popular fountains among children and adults.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fountains plumbing scheme was completed between 1721 and 1722. Peter the Great together with the first hydraulics engineer in Russia, Vasily Tuvolkov, developed this system. It is an outstanding achievement of the 18th century technology. About 14 miles of ducts and piping were constructed. Water for the fountains was flowing under its own pressure without the aid of any pumps</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The main idea behind most of the decorations in the park is memorizing Russian victory over the Swedes in 1721, ensuring the outlet to the Baltic Sea for our country. The coast of the Gulf of Finland was irrigated and fertilized to lay out the formal French garden here. The proximity to the Gulf of Finland coast was the most important idea for Peter – the possession of that coast was the main achievement of the Northern war.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">Today the number of fountains in Peterhof is over 150, and all of them are playing according to the principle of communicating vessels. Each fountain has its own unique design.The overall area of the park is about 250 acres.</div>

This was our first trip at abroad, we were having lots of questions with us how will be the company, will get Jain food and many more but with flamingo the answers was yes we got best company and excellent food all over the trip.

Mr. Hemang Patel

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Kushal shah</span> wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mr. kushal shah.</span></div>
