This is a totally unique 4-days road tripping from Moscow to St. Petersburg across the real Russian countryside! As you know, there is a great difference between Moscow and all other Russia... It is not easy to understand life here when you are stuck in a traffic jam on your way to Kremlin with a coffee in your hand! The concept of this tour is to show you the real Russia with numerous small towns, pristine nature, abandoned churches and the common life of ordinary people. The itinerary is perfect for those who are going to St. Petersburg. It takes only 2 hours to get there by a local train. Tour highlights: • Road-tripping from Moscow to St. Petersburg • Ecotour along the Volga River • Real Russian countryside • Off-roading and caving • Soviet military van • Novgorod The Great: the oldest town in Russia

A fully customizable and budget-friendly tour of the Golden Ring. Visit the destinations of your choice and draw up your own itinerary. It can be just a day trip to Sergiev Posad, Rostov Veliky, Pereslavl-Zalessky or a multi-day journey to Vladimir and Suzdal, Yaroslavl and all the way to Kostroma. Or maybe you'd love to see one of the lesser touristy places like Yuriev-Polsky and Alexandrov, Kolomna or Borovsk? It's up to you! Just pick the desired option. Since I'm not a licensed travel guide, I will rather be your driver and travel companion during sightseeing providing all the necessary assistance whenever you need it. No boring history lectures or tight schedules, explore everything at your own pace! My car is a Subaru Outback in great condition, perfectly comfortable for 3 passengers but can accommodate 4 (with less comfort, obviously).

Inclusions: WiFi on board, Bottled water, snacks.

An affordable way to see some of the destinations of the Golden Ring Route including Sergiev Posad, Vladimir and Suzdal as well as less touristy residence of Ivan the Terrible in Alexandrov and a small but charming Yuriev-Polsky. Since I'm not a licensed travel guide, I will rather be your travel companion and driver during sightseeing providing all the necessary assistance whenever you need it. No boring history lectures or tight schedules, explore everything at your own pace! Book accommodation of your choice in Suzdal where we'll stay overnight. My car is a Subaru Outback, comfortable for 3 passengers but can squeeze in 4 (with less comfort, obviously).

Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, WiFi on board, Bottled water, snacks, coffee/tea in thermoses

Nikolay organized an amazing three day trip for me. He was very flexible with helping me plan a trip that fit my needs and was even willing to pick me up from the airport. He was a very good driver and his car was comfortable. He knew a lot of information about all the places we visited and was a good travel companion in general for passing the long hours driving. He helped me to pick budget accommodations for our overnights. I really enjoyed my three days spent with him and learned a lot about the history of the golden ring. I enjoyed walking around the small towns and hearing stories. We visited Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Suzdal and Vladimir as well as some smaller stops along the way. He was flexible with how much time we spent at each destination. Overall it was a great trip. I visited in winter but I hope to see some of the cities in summer and would definitely hope to travel with Nikolay again!

As all the guides were busy or on vacation, Sebastien himself took us to the visit of the metro. It was a great experience, Sebastien is very friendly and knows very well Moscow. It was like visiting this majestic part of Moscow with a very old friend. Thanks Sebastien for this great time we spent together.
