Stop At: Park And Gardens of Peterhof, Razvodnaya st., 2, Peterhof, St. Petersburg Russia

You will take a short hydrofoil ride to reach the Lower Park of Peterhof. This comfortable trip along the Neva River and the Gulf of Finland will only take 30 min. In Peterhof, you will enjoy the amazing views of the Marine Canal, the Grand Cascade and Petrodvorets (the Grand Palace) along with amazing fountains and gilded statues. The guide will show you the famous joke fountains that splash the passersby when they least expect.
