Description

What was it really like to grow up as the future emperor of Russia? Gatchina was much more than an imperial residence for Nicholas II. It was the beloved family home where he and his brothers and sisters spent some of the most important years of their childhood. In this tour, we’ll step into the private world of Alexander III and Maria Feodorovna and discover how their children actually lived behind the palace walls. We’ll talk about their home education, schoolrooms, demanding lesson schedules, tutors, languages, physical training and even the textbooks used by the young heir to the throne. We’ll also look beyond lessons to games, family traditions, walks and everyday life with Nicholas’s siblings, including George, Xenia, Michael and Olga. Far from the glittering image of the Romanov court, Gatchina reveals Nicholas II as a boy growing up in a close-knit, disciplined and surprisingly private imperial family.

Hi, I’m Anna Levina. I’m a licensed tour guide for Saint Petersburg (Russia) and Israel.

Today, I live and do in-person and virtual tours in Israel and Georgia, but I continue sharing my love for Saint Petersburg through virtual tours. Join me as we explore its fascinating history, beautiful architecture, and the stories of the Romanovs — all from wherever you are in the world!
