Dear guests! My name is Victoria and I am a licensed tour-guide in St-Petersburg. I have been living in Tsarskoye Selo and Pavlovsk for many years and I love telling my guests of its history. I am particularly interested in short, but bright period of art nouveau style. I explore this topic through the life stories of the remarkable locals and architects.
