We will meet you at the Railway Station if you come from Moscow by “Lastochka” high speed train or pick you up from your hotel, bring you to a restaurant of Russian cuisine to have breakfast and head to Yasnaya Polyana that is situated 15 kilometers from Tula and attracts visitors from all over the world as the family estate of Leo Tolstoy.
You will enjoy the tranquil nature of Yasnaya Polyana which inspired the author of War and Peace, feel the spirit of the place where he was born, spent nearly all his life and was buried. Visit the house where Tolstoy created "Anna Karenina" and "Resurrection" and where everything has been carefully kept on its places since 1910.
We offer you a skip-the-line admission to one of Russia’s most remarkable landmarks, with plenty of stories on the way to it provided by your tour guide throughout.
After the excursion you will have a themed lunch in Tula at a restaurant of Russian cuisine cooked according to the recipe book of Tolstoy’s wife – you will be surprised at how skillfully the chef conveys the atmosphere of the 19th century in an exquisite combination of traditional Russian dishes.
Add a bit of extra excitement to your outing!
After that, a walking tour through the city centre awaits you so that you won’t miss the highlights of Tula. You will take a stroll through the main square of Tula, view the outside of the ancient Kremlin, marvel at its walls and towers and listen to tales about battles and sieges that once took place here. You will enjoy the oldest park of the city with its sculptures and the brand new river embankment area filled with urban romantic, visit the glorious Annunciation Church that dates back into the 17th century and the renovated promenade street.
