Петр

Главный идеолог пеших прогулок по Санкт-Петербургу. Основатель компаии Peter’s Walk Tours.The person who gave name and ideology to the project, Peter started running the tours in 1996 all by himself, inspired by some walking tours he’d taken in other cities in Europe.

Before settling for the tours, Peter had tried over twenty different jobs, the most amazing being of a live (!) translator in the movies in St. Petersburg, in the wild times of the early 90′s. Screening of pirate copies of Hollywood action movies was accompanied by simultaneous voiceover translation, done by a person with a microphone, sitting behind the audience. It wasn’t paying too well, alas.

Today Peter occasionally fixes a job or two as a journalist — for several years he was a writer with The St. Petersburg Times, the city’s English language newspaper. Whatever money he saves, he spends on travelling, preferring long and detailed low budget journeys, such as an epic St Petersburg to Tasmania overland, or more recently his regular expeditions to the Sahara.

Belonging to a rare breed of Russian backpacker, Peter has acquired a unique habit of acting as an ambassador of his own city and country, both of which he so much loves. Lonely Planet St. Petersburg commented on Peter’s tours: «He’s ultra knowledgeable and laid back, but most importantly, his passion for the city is infectious».

Ник

Прекрасный гитарист, Nick plays in a number of bands on St. Petersburg club scene for over a decade. He’s our chief expert on clubbing and always has few tips on local nightlife for you up his sleeve.

Having obtained his PhD in Medical Psychology in 2006, he quits his job as a scientist for a time being. He’s a broad specialist in the sphere of guiding, but his Revolution Tour is an absolute hit. He boasts to know the location of a workers canteen where Lenin had his last meal before the Revolution — and claims that it’s still functioning!

Nick is a keen sportsman, biking and snowboarding being his favourites. He is a fine connoisseur of Russian banya (steam bath) and bliny with apple and cinnamon.
