Our guide Nicolai spoke excellent English, very attent and shared a lot of information with us. We felt we saw more than what we expected to see and he gave us explanation in each places. The route was very efficient and we got to tast "Soviet canteen" for lunch and some fruits from the local market. It was a memorable day. Thank you very much Nicolai!!
