Russia, a vast country of about 150 million people representing over 160 nationalities, offers an opportunity to discover a unique, rich, diverse culture developed over thousands of years. Take one of our private cultural tours of Russia to experience how Russian people live today among the historical monuments of the capital, Moscow, in the Imperial city of St. Petersburg, and in the ancient “open-air museums” of the Golden Ring. See how geography has shaped the lives of people living along Europe’s longest river, the Volga; around one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes, Lake Baikal; and on the Siberian steppe.
Discover Russia’s diverse and fascinating cultures through visits to some of the country’s 18 cultural UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and its historical and ethnographic museums, ancient kremlins, beautiful Russian Orthodox churches, and Shaman villages. Observe the daily lives of Russian people and learn about their arts and crafts, cuisine, religious traditions, cultural festivals, and economic activities.
From one-day private tours in and around historical cities, to epic cultural journeys of several weeks along the Trans-Siberian Railway or the Volga River, check out below our wide range of suggested itineraries for private Russia cultural tours – or request a tailor-made tour to experience the highlights of Russian culture and history in your own way.
