programme and close attention to details. Our stay was comfortable and cozy.
Special thanks to the guide, a wonderful man Alexei Tabunov. We had two
eventful sightseeing days and got a lot of invaluable information about one of
the oldest cities in Russia. We were greeted by amazing people who are in love
with the history of the city and passionate about their profession. Smolensk
won our hearts!", — Sergei and Anastasia shared.
The
