Cold, dark and exciting.
Cold, dark and exciting.   Just what you would expect of St Petersburg in the winter, and just what our most recent high school group found on its five day exploration of the city’s historical and artistic elements  last week.   With etr’s expert guides leading the way, forty students and four teachers discovered why St Petersburg places at the top of destinations for those wishing to delve deeply into significant episodes of the 20th century. 
Investigation of Romanov repression and excesses, the October revolution, the horrors of WW2 and the siege of Leningrad, the isolation during the Cold War and getting a feel of the new Russia are all part of the program. The fact that this all takes place in one of the world’s most beautiful cities makes it all the more exhilarating.

On tap in a week’s time, our next etr high school group in Russia will start in Moscow where they will lay the foundation of Russian history starting at the emotive heart of the country, Red Square before taking in all the capital’s important historical and artistic venues. But it isn’t all work…what would be a visit to Russia without ice skating, ballet, meetings with local teenagers and the excitement of professional ice hockey match?

To have a look at what an etr Russia itinerary would look like, contact etr’s Andrea Cotting. She’ll be able to explain that we can custom design your Russia program to meet your requirements…and as etr has been operating student tours to Russia since 1990, we have the experience to make sure your program hits all right spots.
