Kicking off with an eye-opening tour of Moscow, including St Basil’s Cathedral and the Kremlin, we’ll mount our bikes and cycle from one iconic city to another. Pedalling on quiet country roads, we’ll ride through lush fields and forests, alongside the longest river in Europe and by the banks of the beautiful Lake Ilmen. Stopping in small towns off the tourist track, we’ll visit local monasteries and explore the serene balneological spa in Staraya Russa. We’ll twin these insights into the local culture with glimpses into the past, visiting the ancient battle monuments and the museum of the famous writer, Alexander Pushkin.

Our adventure also gives us the opportunity to explore Russia’s oldest and most influential capital, Veliky Novgorod and stay the night opposite the Kremlin! All this leads to a fantastic celebration in Petersburg, followed by a day to explore its maze of canals and historical centre, named a World Heritage Site
