Karine Hagen has been delivering once in a lifetime cultural experiences for our friends on her 'Glories of the Hermitage' tours, the only Hermitage sanctioned weeklong programme of its kind. These intimate (no larger than 12 guests) groups are for art lovers, who in addition to having the most privileged access to our great museum and its vaults and storage facilities, under the guidance of our leading scholars, will also have privileged access to other magnificent experiences in the beautiful city of St. Petersburg.
Our last special group from the UK was in association with The Art Fund from the  17th – 22nd October. Our guests were again extremely satisfied with their experience:
 
“Trip amazing. Organisation perfect. Curator so knowledgeable. Hotel very special. Different restaurants all perfect. Group disparate but had a lot of fun. Altogether memorable. Congratulations to you and the Friends of the Hermitage”
 
“Just a note to say how much we enjoyed our visit to St.Petersburg on the Glories of the Hermitage programme.“

Our next Glories of the Hermitage date is March 14th to March 20th.  We have managed to keep the price for the programme at £3985 per person sharing a twin room. This includes flights, accommodation in the renowned five star Grand Hotel Europe (recently awarded the World Greatest Luxury Hotel), all meals and drinks, Mariinsky performance, sightseeing and all guiding and special openings of the Hermitage.
