Description:

Explore the eclectic, locals-only side of Russia’s cultural capital with an expertly guided walking tour of St. Petersburg’s history through lesser-known sights—from the homes of controversial historical figures like Rasputin and Lenin to a Soviet-themed bar and homage to The Wizard of Oz.

Kick off your Russian adventure in one of the world’s most elaborate metro stations, an underground hub filled with soaring ceilings and elegant decorations—not to mention nuclear bomb shelters and blast doors. Next, warm up with a shot of vodka—the Russian libation par excellence—at a traditional bar decked out in Soviet Air Force equipment.

After passing the Soviet-style building where the Red October nuclear submarines were designed, walk by the home of Rasputin, one of Russia’s most mysterious characters. Then head towards the apartment of former Communist leader, Vladimir Lenin.

Duck under archways and learn about the dark appearance of St. Petersburg's “well-yards”. Things brighten up as you take in the art nouveau façade of the Baltiysky train station on your way to the tour’s end at an elaborately decorated playground full of sculptures and paintings dedicated entirely to the The Wizard of Oz.
