About the tour

Did you know that working class women of Saint Petersburg (Petrograd) ignited the Revolution of February, 1917? That revolt resulted in the abolition of the monarchy and later on - the collapse of the entire Russian Empire. Join my tour by the bank of the Moyka river and along some of the oldest streets of Saint Petersburg to learn more about the life of both, outstanding and ordinary women of the city. We’ll talk about the position of women in Russian society in different historical periods. There are some really great stories.

Why are they tip-supported?

We are running these tours on a tip-supported basis to make them as accessible as possible. They are free to book and join, but you have the option to tip the guide during the tour.

Leaving a tip will help support the guides and allow us to offer tours in more places around the world. If you aren't able to leave a tip, then it would be great if you can share the tour with friends and family to spread the word.
