I recently had the pleasure of taking an escorted tour with Insight Vacations, a preferred partner with AAA Northway. I saw fantastic sights: St. Isaacs Cathedral, the fortress of Sts. Peter and Paul, Decembrist’s Square, the great cathedral of Kazan and the Winter Palace. The Hermitage is full of an amazing collection of paintings and art objects. We visited the fabulous gardens and fountains of Peter the Greats summer residence. The city is nicknamed the Venice of the North because its’ many waterways, canals and bridges. This is a beautiful city with restored buildings and awe inspiring architecture. Too soon, it was time to enjoy an overnight train to Moscow in a comfortable high speed train.
Moscow has a different style and architecture. We toured Red Square, which is bordered by St. Basils Cathedral, and GUM, a grand department store full of the latest and greatest. One of my favorite excursions was a tour of the Metro. The Metro system is one of the best in the world. It is clean, safe, and full of beautiful art such as mosaics, sculpture, painting, stained glass and fabric murals done by the best artists of the world. It was a wonderful experience.
Our tour guides were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. It was a wonderful trip and I would encourage anyone who is interested in a trip to Russia to give us a call! We would love to help you plan your trip here in the Saratoga office, or visit our other locations in Amsterdam, Schenectady, Queensbury or Plattsburgh.
