Description

Your local, knowledgeable guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to start an amazing trip to Kolomenskoye Estate. First, visit the Tsar’s Courtyard where the guide will show you and tell you where specialties for the Tsar's family were cooked, what a 17th century fridge looked like, why Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich was silent and where he hid his treasure, why the Romonov's Church of our Lady of Kazan has blue domes, and much more! Then, see a masterpiece of world architecture and the queen of all orthodox temples and cathedrals – the Church of Ascension, which was built in honor of the birth of Ivan the Terrible. From here you can also take beautiful pictures of Moscow and the Moscow river. Next, visit a house where Peter I spent 2 years of his life. Finally, (if the option included) see a wooden copy of the Tsar's Great Palace and see what the Tsar's life was like inside. At the end of the tour, the tour guide will be more than happy to answer any questions he hasn't yet about the fascinating history you'll have just seen.
