Between Moscow and St. Petersburg lies a convergence of the world's finest art and countless famous architectural wonders of the land of the white birch. For the first time, Saigontourist's guests will have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the dazzling golden hues of the vast taiga forests, as beautiful as paintings by the renowned artist Levitan, on both sides of the Volga River, Russia's lifeline. The Volga River cruise also promises to bring guests many new and exciting experiences, including enjoying Russian folk music, watching spectacular performances by Russian dancers, and having cocktail parties and dinners with the captain right on board.

Russia is vast, but a trip to the land of birch trees will gradually begin with the city of Uglich, where you'll find the unique stone house of Grand Duke Dmitry, built in the 15th century and once the residence of the princes of this land. The impressive St. Demetrios Church, with its red walls and blue dome resembling northern sails, is another highlight. Then, in the peaceful town of Goritsy, a quintessential Russian countryside, you can explore the Museum of Russia's oldest symbols. Kizhi Island captivates with its unique wooden structures, exemplified by the two wooden churches, still retaining their pristine beauty, built in 1764 – one used in summer and the other in winter. Finally, the small village of Mandrogui, located on the left bank of the Svir River, will amaze you with its famous Vodka Museum, boasting a collection of over 2,000 varieties.
The Russia tour will take you back in time to visit famous Moscow landmarks such as the historic Red Square, the ancient Kremlin in the heart of the city, and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior with its gilded dome, currently the largest and tallest Orthodox church in the world. Visitors can also enjoy shopping at the bustling Ahotny Ryad shopping complex, the GUM department store, or antique hunting in the old Arbat Street. In St. Petersburg – a UNESCO World Heritage site – visitors can admire some of the most famous architectural heritage of the former capital that remains today, such as St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, the Peterhof Summer Palace (referred to as the "Russian Versailles"), and the Winter Palace (now the Hermitage Museum) – the largest art museum in Russia and the third largest in the world, displaying over 3 million masterpieces. This St. Petersburg tour is a must-see. Petersburg concludes in the city named after the great poet Pushkin, famous for the Catherine Palace which becomes magnificent in autumn, and the vast Catherine Park immersed in the endless golden and red hues of the leaves…
