The Renaissance of Elegant Travel to Eastern Europe and Russia

These group tours and customized itineraries open many doors that allow travelers to go behind-the-scenes and get intimately acquainted with the sights and the personalities of Russia and Ukraine. Your hand-picked guides will escort you through the fast-paced capital of Moscow, where you can enjoy a personal tour of the Kremlin, Red Square, and the Pushkin Museum. You can choose to experience the Russian side of the cold war saga with visits to a Cold War bunker and visit with a KGB Colonel; or go to the countryside and see the smaller towns of the Golden Ring.

St. Petersburg will astound you with its culture from the Grand palace, grottos and park at Peterhof; the Hermitage museum and its Gold Rooms; to Catherine Palace and the famed Amber Room.

Your trip might be even more unforgettable with the addition of Kiev and Ukraine, the cradle of Russian culture. Here you can tour the St. Sophia Cathedral and the famous Kiev-Pecherskaya Lavra Monastery and its underground catacombs.

There are so many more sights you can experience with an Exeter International itinerary. For more information, see the tours below, look at our Extraordinary Experiences, and contact one of our experts with any questions.
