A fabulous trip to the cities of the masters: Kostroma, Nerekhta, Yaroslavl

Breakfast at the hotel.

9:30 Meeting in the hotel lobby. Departure for the tour.

Sightseeing tour of Kostroma.

Kostroma is the pearl of the Golden Ring of Russia. A city with a centuries-old history and perfectly preserved architecture of the XVIII-XIX centuries. 

You will see the central square of the city, which is affectionately called "skovorodka", an ensemble of shopping malls, public places, a fire tower, a guardhouse, a monument to the patriot of the Russian land — Ivan Susanin, the gazebo of A.N. Ostrovsky and much more.  

Visit the current Epiphany Cathedral, where the most valuable Miraculous icon of the Fedorovskaya Mother of God is kept.

We have prepared a fabulous miracle for you — a meeting with the ice beauty Snow Maiden! Our fabulous beauty is always happy to tell guests about how she lives and what she does. 

You will be able to make a wish that will definitely come true! 

Interactive excursion to the Snow Maiden's Tower with a visit to the ice room.

The interactive museum "Miracle Forest".

After crossing the threshold of the house, the guests seem to be transported into an unknown world — a kind Russian fairy tale inhabited by the most incredible creatures. 

The first of the halls embodies the storeroom of nature (or rather the Russian forest), from where an exciting tour of the Miracle Forest begins. 

Asking leading questions and replenishing knowledge about native nature, the presenter talks about forest "giants" and their magical (healing) properties. 

Getting acquainted with native Russian crafts (we are talking about artistic forging, birch bark weaving and wood carving), kids and adults are happy to look at the exhibits.

Sooner or later, the guests of the museum find themselves in front of a fabulous staircase made of wooden nails. It leads to the second floor — into the realm of tall tales, legends, tales and forest myths. 

In the same hall there is an interesting armchair that fulfills wishes. Frankly speaking, crafts made of wood and vines are good, but the pride of the Les Chudodey museum is the hall for which Kostroma blacksmiths "revived" fairy-tale heroes and various animals.

Lunch at a cafe in the city.

Interactive tour "Cheese stories" — a cheese sommelier, a well-known cheese specialist in narrow circles, will take guests through the halls of an ancient mansion, constantly telling about the most mysterious, amazing and unexpected cheese stories. 

You will learn how and where the first cheese appeared, see and even be able to touch ancient and modern cheese making devices, laugh at cheese fun, discover a whole world called "Cheese". 

You will find strange artifacts and tricky surprises, technical gadgets and absolutely untested facts. In small cozy shops, you need to buy a piece of cheese from local cheese makers (cheese tasting for an additional fee).
