Description
The Kremlin is the heart of Moscow and has always been associated with the Russian Government.
Get to know the history of the Kremlin grounds and visit three of its cathedrals on a fascinating 2-hour tour.
First, we will head to the 16th-century Cathedral of the Archangel. See how it unites traditional Russian architecture with elements characteristic of the Italian Renaissance, and visit burial places of Moscow’s tsars and princes throughout the centuries.
Next, we will move on to the 15th-century Cathedral of the Annunciation, once a place of worship for tsars and the royal family, and a venue for wedding ceremonies and christenings. Admire the many works of art it houses, including frescoes that date back to 1508.
We will then visit the Uspensky Cathedral, also known as the Assumption Cathedral. Built in 1551, it’s a masterpiece by the Italian architect Aristotele Fioravanti.
Finally, we will admire the exterior of the Patriarch’s Palace, now a museum dedicated to the art and lifestyle of 17th-century Russia.

Itinerary was the same with most of tours outhere.
Transportation was clean, comfortable, and fancy
Driver was cautious and safe.
Lunch was fast with simple menu yet delicious. Price is literally a half from what our cruise company had offered
Our guide, Irina, was a model of knowledge, tutoring and efficiency. During the tour she crammed in sights and stories that what would normally take several days longer.
She brought to life for us the history of St. Petersburg from its foundation through to the post war restoration. We left with a far better understanding of the royal family, the aristocracy and the common man during the tumultuous 300 years of Russian history. Irina navigated us around crowds and lineups to see and experience the highlights of the rich trove of art and treasure in the palaces and churches in the greater St Petersburg area. Her obvious love for her country and its rich historical past left us with many happy memories, and yet a desire to read and explore further.
Thank You for a very memorable tour!
