End up at a local coffee shop, where you can sample some traditional Russian pastries or coffee (own expense). You'll be dropped off back at your St. Petersburg accommodations after the tour.

If you have the time upgrade your tour and explore more of St Petersburg's beautiful architecture and gardens. Drop in at the Eliseev Emporium and indulge in chocolate souvenirs and hot cocoa.
