NEW! We now have a great new meeting point for our Original Walks. Life Hostel is a superb location, on the corner of Nevsky and Vladimirsky, right in the old city. The hostel itself, in our opinion, is the best new arrival to the budget accommodation scene in St Petersburg. Check out the hostel's web page at http://hostel-life.ru/en/.

Peter’s Walking Tours is a team of young, streetwise, well-travelled individuals, based in St. Petersburg, Russia. We offer a range of English-language walking tours running to a set timetable, several walks every day. Designed for a curious and energetic budget-conscious traveller, our walks cover all aspects of St. Petersburg’s life, from history, arts and social culture to everyday practicalities.

To take a Peter’s Walking Tour, turn up at the designated meeting point a couple of minutes before the starting time. You do not need to book in advance. Peter’s Walking Tours run in any weather, rain or shine (or ‘snow and frost’ as we say in Russian).

We keep our prices as low as possible. All scheduled walks cost 650 rubles – a good value for a four hour walking tour. With all inquiries regarding Peter’s Walking Tours, please contact us at info@peterswalk.com.

Besides the usual stuff you expect to hear on a walking tour, we supply a wealth of information on What, How, Where, When in St. Petersburg, more accurate and up-to-date than any guidebook. Tips on clubbing and nightlife, ballet, museums, public transport, cheap and good eats, provided by experienced backpackers and experts on the city.

You can consult us on travelling to other destinations in Russia, including the Trans-Siberian – we've been there and done it ourselves. Do not hesitate to ask. And - you don't even need to take a walking tour for that! Just email us your questions, and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Our guides would go out of the way to help you with all your routine travel concerns, to explain you the cultural differences that might seem frustrating and hard to grasp from the first glance. Ask your guide for assistance on practical travel matters.

We see ourselves as conductors between cultures - in the country where majority of the population have never been exposed to the outside world, we speak your language.

Peter’s Walking Tours were established in 1996, first as a freelance project. Our history.

We receive impressive press coverage. Our mass media archive.
