Private Guide in Russia, St. Petersburg: Eugenia Kempinsky

My name is Eugenia and I am a free-lance professional experienced guide providing tours in English. I am licensed to guide in all museums and palaces of Saint-Petersburg and its suburbs. I offer full variety of walking and driving tours, museum visits, trips to magnificent outskirts palaces, boat trips, transfers, visa support and help with accommodation.

Some personal information - I am 27 years old native citizen of St.Petersburg. I work as the professional guide since 2003 and enjoy my job very much. I have traveled a lot independently around the US and European countries and therefore can understand the traveller’s feelings and concerns. I am interested in history (not only in facts but in the explanations – why certain events have happened), in art (so we can talk a lot about the architectural styles and the beauty of paintings) and in the social life (so you are very welcome to ask any questions about everyday Russian life, political and social issues). Providing the tours my main objective is to meet your expectations and treat you as my guests showing the best of the city, helping to feel Russian life and unique atmosphere of St.Petersburg.

My city. St. Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia after Moscow, and it is one of the architectural gems of the world. Known as "the City of the Royalty," St. Petersburg combines a fascinating Russian heritage with a distinct European outlook. The majestic Imperial traditions, intellectual and artistic life, and the hospitality of its citizens blend with the dynamics of a modern European center.Citizens of St.Petersburg (by the way, we usually call it “Piter”) are proud to offer you more than 100 big and small museums, 200 former royal and noble palaces, beautiful walking areas, world famous Kirov (Mariinsky) Ballet and Opera Theatre, excellent restaurants and nice shopping places… It is really the place to spend couple of weeks easily having something new every day.
