Some special venues and programs
Special Tour of Imperial Porcelain Factory
In 1844 the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St Petersburg, founded in 1744 on the orders
of Empress Elizabeth, reached its 100th anniversary. To mark the occasion,
Emperor Nicholas I gave orders for the opening of a museum of Russian porcelain
attached to the factory. Precursors of this notable event were the exhibitions
of classic specimens of the factory's production held in 1837-38. These were
a great success with the public and were accompanied by the sale of porcelain items.
A visit to the Imperial Porcelain Factory usually included an interesting tour of
the museum and the factory's artistic workshops at the end of which honored
guests received some porcelain trinkets as a souvenir.
In addition to excursion we can organize tea drinking from art products and the master-class of painting porcelain cups.

Night boat trip
Saint-Petersburg is fairly called “North Venice”. Wonderful, often unexpected
sights of the famous architectural ensembles are open to you. Petersburg
should be seen from water – it's difficult to find something more beautiful
somewhere. There are some piers in the centre of the city where you can start
you traveling from. We can suggest trips with interesting route in the historical
part of the city: the Fontanka River, the Moika River, popular trips
during White Nights; also trips with going out to the Finnish bay.
