About this activity

The tour starts at the lobby of your Hotel where the guide and driver meet you. Together you get to spectacular Yusupov Palace. You easily get inside not waiting in a line. Excursion begins on the 2nd floor, which features an amazing ballroom (the White Column Room), banquet hall, the delightful Green Drawing Room and the ornate rococo private theatre. The tour continues on the ground floor, where you will see the fabulous Turkish Study (used by Felix as a billiards room), the Prince's study and the Moorish Drawing Room, among many other rooms. Then you will see the room where Rasputin’s murder began and the guide will reveal the mystery over the Grigory Rasputin life and death. After the tour you will be offered to have a lunch/dinner in a very nice restaurant serving delicious Russian food (optional) and then you will be taken back to the Hotel or any other desired destination in the city center.

This was such a fun tour. It is close to St. Petersburg - just a short car ride. The palace was lovely, but the most interesting part to us was the room where Rasputin was murdered. We had to be part of a tour to hear the narrative in English. Well worth it.

Tour was good but but we were restricted to only see a portion of the Palace.

Very knowledgeable guide. This palace is incredible and the tour unfolds like a novel as you learn the story of the Yuspovs and Rasputin. A memorable experience!
