City tour and visit to St. Basils & Red Sq. w/transport

Duration: 4 hours
Panoramic City Tour. This tour is a great start to your trip and the best way to get acquainted with many of the city’s major highlights. Our professional guide will escort you on a route that includes Vorobyevi Hills where you will get an incredible view of the city from an observation point, you will proceed to Moscow State University which is an example of architecture from the time of Stalin, then on to Novodevichiy Convent, the Diplomatic Village, Victory Park, the Triumphal Arch, Kutuzovsky Prospect, the Arbat and much more. You will then proceed to Red Square and visit the famous St. Basil´s Cathedral. At the very centre of Moscow, beneath the walls of the Kremlin, lies Red Square. Its history dates back to the distant past. Over the centuries, the square has changed its name many times. It was first mentioned in the chronicles of 1434 as the Trade Square, then, after the devastating fire of 1493, it was renamed Fire. In the 16th century they called it Trinity (after the church which formerly stood on the site of St Basil’s Cathedral) and in the 1660s it was given the name “Krasnaya”, which at the time meant “beautiful”, “best” or “main”. Among the sights visitors will see are the statue of Minin and Pozharsky (the leaders of the People’s Volunteer Corps in 1612), the Mausoleum of Lenin, the Upper Trading Rows (including the State Department Store (GUM)), the clock at the Savior (Spasskaya) Tower – showing the most correct Moscow time, the History Museum, the beautiful Cathedral of the Intercession (the Church of St Basil the Blessed), Kazansky Cathedral and many other outstanding pieces of Russian architecture. Many would think that St.Basil´s Cathedral alone would justify a visit to Moscow. This extraordinary building - the supreme achievement of 16th century architecture in Moscow - is now a branch of the State Historical Museum. With its ground plan in the form of an eight-pointed star, its nine churches and its bizarre domes, its vivid colours and its assortment of architectural elements, the church was originally built by Ivan the Terrible in 1555-61. It was called the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin (Pokrovsky Sobor) to commemorate the capture of Kazan, capital of the khanate of Kazan, on the festival of the Intercession of the Virgin in 1552. According to the chronicler, the architects of the cathedral, Postnik and Barma, were sent by God to Ivan the Terrible. There is a story that Ivan had them blinded after the building was completed; however, this is no more than a legend, for in 1588 - four years after Ivan´s death - Postnik and Barma added the chapel located at the northeast corner of the cathedral housing the tomb of the holy fool Basil (Vasily) by whose name the cathedral is known.

Soviet and Post Soviet Moscow with transport

Duration: 3 hours
The tour begins with a drive or walk down Tverskaya Street – a Soviet masterpiece. In the years of Soviet power, Tverskaya began to undergo a transformation: it was widened to two and a half times its original size, multi-storey administrative and apartment buildings were constructed, and at the same time, the most valuable of older buildings were moved to other places. Apart from the architectural and historic sights, there are many exhibition halls, theatres and all kinds of shops and cafes on the street. During the excursion, we will visit the Central Park of Culture and Relaxation (Gorky Park) built by the Muscovites with their own hands in 1928. Today, this is one of the most popular leisure areas for both Muscovites and visitors to the capital. The district of the VDNKh metro station is another place to visit. Modern constructions stand peacefully side by side with remarkable monuments of the past. The indissoluble unity of the national economy is symbolized by the world-renowned sculpture of V. Mukhina, “The Worker and the Collective-Farm Women”. The 24-metre high figures, carrying hammers and sickles, portray the romance, enthusiasm and powerful impulse of the first Soviet five-year plans. The tour will take the visitor on to many other interesting Soviet era sites – it is one of our most fascinating tours.

Kolomenskoe tour with transport

Duration: 3 hours
The history of Kolomenskoye stretches back for centuries. In 1380, Dmitri Donskoi’s army passed through Kolomenskoye on their way to the Kulikovo battlefield, and it was here that Donskoi celebrated his victory over the horde when he returned from battle. Peter the Great was born in Kolomenskoye and he spent his childhood here. French composer Hector Berlioz, who visited Russia in the middle of the 19th century put it well when he wrote the following about Kolomenskoye, “Nothing has struck me so much as the monument of Old Russian architecture in the village of Kolomenskoye… Everything flinched inside me. It was the mysterious silence. The harmony of the beauty of its completed forms… I sensed a striving upwards, and I stood stunned for a long time.”

Tour to Ostankino with transport

Duration: 4 hours
Ostankino park and palace estate, located in the Northern part of Moscow, is a unique example of Russian architecture of the 18th century. Official records of Ostankino date back to the middle of the 16th century. However the estate began to flourish when it became one of the Moscow residences of the Sheremetev family, one of the wealthiest and powerful noble families in Russia during the 18th century. The Sheremetevs owned a quarter of the serfs in the Russian Empire and maintained their fortune by bequeathing the entire estate to the eldest son of each generation, rather than dividing it equally between several heirs. Nikolay Petrovich Sheremetiev is considered to be one of the most educated aristocrats of the 18th century for his great love for art, sciences, literature and especially the theater. That passion drove him to create the magnificent palace in Ostankino. The palace unites under the same roof a library, an art gallery, an armory, scientific rooms and a theater. The theater was opened in 1795 and during a very short time, and thanks to highly professional actors, was on a level equivalent to the Imperial Theater. Praskovia Zhemchugova - the serf star of the theater - later became count Sheremetiev´s wife. In Soviet times, the estate was renovated and opened as a Museum of Serf Art, to commemorate the fact that it was entirely designed and built by serf craftsmen. Nowadays, the theater inside the Ostankino palace is the only Russian and one of the few remaining European theater buildings surviving from the end of the 18th century with its well preserved stage, hall, foyers, make-up rooms and equipment of the upper engine-room.

Vodka museum with transport (excursion only)

Duration: 3 hours
Vodka is an important component of Russian life, an element of national identity and everyday culture. We invite you to visit the Vodka Museum and feel the atmosphere of the long gone centuries. You will get to know the story of what is the real vodka, when its manufacture began and the role it has played in the history of Russian civilization. You will have a unique opportunity to see that the process of wine distillation (the original name for vodka production) was very up-to-date for that time period. In the museum there is originally made installation, showing a Russian monk by the first distillation unit equipped with all the necessary devices and, first of all, with a coil pipe! You will be shown vodka bottles of different sizes, from shkalik (or kosushka) to shtof and quarter. The pride of the Museum is the bottle produced at the Kronshtadt table wine distillery in 1862. The museum guides can explain what chekushka is, how big the traditional Russian cup (charka, cheporuha) is, how drinking houses, or kabaks, are different from tractirs that appeared in Russia in the 1880´s, and what kinds of vodka were the most popular among members of different social groups. The choices were very wide: «Smirnovskaya», «Petrovskaya», «Popovka» (produced at the distillery of widow Popova) and «Pshenichnaya» (wheat), «Russkoe Dobro» (Russian goods) and «Dvoinaya Gor´kaya» (double bitter)… This list could be continued forever… In the beginning of the 20th century there were more than 5000 wineries in Russia located in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan as well as in other cities.

The museum guides can explain what chekushka is, how big the traditional Russian cup (charka, cheporuha) is, how drinking houses, or kabaks, are different from tractirs that appeared in Russia in the 1880´s, and what kinds of vodka were the most popular among members of different social groups. The choices were very wide: «Smirnovskaya», «Petrovskaya», «Popovka» (produced at the distillery of widow Popova) and «Pshenichnaya» (wheat), «Russkoe Dobro» (Russian goods) and «Dvoinaya Gor´kaya» (double bitter)… This list could be continued forever… In the beginning of the 20th century there were more than 5000 wineries in Russia located in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan as well as in other cities.
