Description
Meet your guide at the lobby of your hotel early morning, at 8:00 AM and set off for a full day countryside trip.

First, visit a famous Russian Orthodox retreat temple Chernigov Skete for early morning church service. After the service, continue to the Folk Private museum and before finally reaching St Sergius Monastery. Enjoy a walking tour, visiting 15th,16th and 17th century temples and taking a look at famous icons of Andrey Rublyov. Learn about Russian history and about Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius's importance in the spiritual and also political life of Russia. Along the way, you will have a chance to try a famous Russian Summer drink, called kvas (if your trip is during the summertime) with famous Russian pastries called pirozhki. Take a break for lunch in a nice cafe where you will have a chance to try dishes from Russian or soviet cuisine. After lunch, there will be an option to do something creative. If you like, you can take a masterclass of matryoshka painting or church candles making from real wax. After your class, take a nice walk around Lavra and visit the fresh water spring. If there is still time, you will have the chance to stop at a Abramtsevo estate, a 19th century retreat for Russian writers and painters, a gorgeous place to learn about the russophile movement and relax before transferring back to Moscow.
