(Translated from Russian) Guys, thank you for this tour through such beautiful cities of Russia as Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov and Sergiev Posad! It was interesting to visit the many monasteries, to admire their beauty and to learn history. Also, I really liked the show program in “Russian Park”. Their animators and Cossacks prepared a cool active entertaining show with weapons, horses riding and various games! Also we tasted different kinds of honey and kvass – real Russian Goodies! As it always happens with Dima and Ilya, in this tour they also had a surprise for us! I will not mention details, but it was very cool 🙂 Also, I really enjoyed the restaurants during the tour – good prices and the food is just delicious everywhere! Then we had a great trip to the stables and horseback walking through the woods! Before that I never tried it, but it was very easy to start! And amazing views of wild nature made this experience even more memorable! Guys took treats for the horses and allowed us to feed them and to feel ourselves better. Thank you for this trip and a great vacation!

Next, we’ll enjoy an active show programme in Russian Park. We’ll learn about Russian culture, play some active games and see a funny show featuring Pereslavl Cossacks – freedom-loving warriors that mostly live in the south of Russia and in Ukraine.

We’ll then explore beautiful orthodox monasteries and churches. Finally, we’ll stop at Plesheevo Lake to admire panoramic views and take some cool photos!

Day 2: Rostov the Great
We’ll start our day learning about Rostov finift (enamel painting) – a traditional Russian handicraft. We’ll visit a finift factory and museum, and participate in a finift workshop where masters will share some of their secrets.

Next, we’ll visit the Rostov Kremlin – a real treasure of the city and Yaroslavl Oblast. It’s one of the most beautiful Kremlins in all of Russia!

Finally, we’ll return to Moscow.

We hope that during these 2 days we’ll become good friends and will meet again in Russia, in your country or somewhere else in the world!
