The tour was wonderful, but best suited for those who don't mind being on the move — changing cities, hotels, and experiences almost daily :). We witnessed firsthand how Russia is evolving and how deeply the history of its statehood is intertwined with the Orthodox Church. We were also truly impressed by the so-called 'small towns,' especially Gorokhovets and Myshkin — places where you can feel the presence of history and sense the deep-rooted love for the homeland shared by generations of merchants and their descendants. Today, it's the local leaders of these towns who are breathing new life into them, reviving and creating unique sites that genuinely captivate travelers.

I really enjoyed the tour. Special thanks to Denis, who accompanied us throughout the 5-day trip. The time flew by, it was both fun and very informative. The hotels were excellent, and the cities we visited left a deep impression. I highly recommend experiencing this rich historical atmosphere.
A good sightseeing tour. Now I know exactly which places I’d like to return to and next time for a few days. I would have liked a bit more history, perhaps some local stories or ethnographic insights. The "look to the right / look to the left / this house belongs to so-and-so / souvenirs over there" format didn’t feel very informative to me. On the other hand, I completely understand how difficult it is to present material in such a large group. I really enjoyed the Rock Café for lunch in Nizhny Novgorod, but in Kazan the meal was rather plain and uninspiring. In Yoshkar-Ola everything was fine, but if they had included something from the local cuisine, it would have been perfect. On a tour like this, the taste of regional food makes a big difference.

The trip was well organized, and the guides were engaging. I enjoyed everything.
The tour is quite intense for just three days, so the information ends up being rather superficial. It feels more like an introduction or a starting point for future trips. By the last day (in Kazan), fatigue sets in, and it becomes harder to take everything in. It might be worth extending the tour by an extra day. I really enjoyed the work of our guide, Dmitry (in Yoshkar-Ola, Cheboksary, and partly in Kazan). It’s clear that he’s genuinely passionate about history and knows his subject very well.

Overall, I enjoyed the tour. Everything promised in the program was delivered. I especially liked the folklore show in Vladimir and the interactive "Around the Stove" experience in Kostroma. I did lower my rating by 1 point because, in addition to the general tours of the monasteries, churches, and cathedrals, I would have liked the opportunity to visit local museums, especially art galleries or applied arts exhibits.

Overall, the trip left a positive impression. The guides were knowledgeable and professional. It’s a pity that the original tour was changed, but Boldino was interesting as well. I would have preferred to be taken directly to my place of stay on the first day after the tour. I liked the hotel. Thank you.

A wonderful, beautiful, and fascinating city. Its history feels alive, and the people of Nizhny Novgorod carefully preserve the memory of their ancestors. They are our ancestors, and this is our land.
