PROGRAM

Car tour to Sergiev Posad - the capital of Russian Orthodoxy and the Spiritual Heart of the Russian Orthodox Church. The tour includes a short sightseeing tour of the city and a long tour of the Holy Trinity  St. Sergius Lavra.

The program of the sightseeing tour of the city has a car and a small part on foot, while sightseeing around the walls and towers of the Holy Trinity St. Sergius Lavra. Having passed through the centuries, Sergiev Posad has been and remains inextricably linked with the Lavra - with the Trinity Monastery, founded by St. Sergius of Radonezh. Acquaintance with the city, with a long history in different periods, with its present status and position, with its prospects for the foreseeable future.

A comparative image of the city of Sergiev Posad is a city-museum, a tourist Mecca and the "Russian Vatican".

The Holy Trinity Sergius St. Lavra is the largest male stauropegial monastery of the Russian Orthodox Church, located in Sergiev Posad, the spiritual heart of Russia, with its unique liturgical traditions, singing, library and centuries-old monastic succession.

The Holy Trinity Sergius St. Lavra is a historical architectural masterpiece of the monastery - fortress, which is surrounded by fortress walls with eleven towers - churches and a unique entrance group with a gate church. The complex of the modern Lavra includes more than fifty buildings and structures. Shrines, cathedrals, temples, churches, chapels, monasteries, academies, seminaries, refectories, museums within the walls of the capital of Russian Orthodoxy.

The excursion program within the walls of the Lavra includes the accompaniment of a local guide and his narration about history, about buildings and structures in a religious, official Orthodox connotation. On the territory of the Lavra it is forbidden to conduct independent excursions to third parties.

Therefore, two guides will accompany, tell and answer questions from customers, and the tour will be more interesting and entertaining.

I will do my best to create a good mood and friendly atmosphere. I will tell and answer in detail the questions of clients, I will try to leave pleasant impressions about Sergiev Posad, about its centuries-old history and create good memories in the future about an interesting tour to the Russian Spiritual Heart and to the Holy Trinity St. Sergius Lavra.
