Panorama of the Kazan Kremlin
Private Kazan tours explore the capital of Tatarstan in western Russia, a truly unique city known for its blend of ethnicities and proudly nicknamed Third Capital of Russia. Experience life in the olden days amid the colorful homes of Old Tatar Settlement and Tugan Avylym Village. Appreciate diverse religious influences at the Roman Catholic Parish of the Holy Cross Church, Orthodox Church of St. Barbara and Al-Marjani Mosque. And of course, no visit to the city would be complete without a tour of the massive Kazan Kremlin or a walk along Bauman Street and Kremlin Embankment.
Not far from Kazan are other notable attractions. Bolgar City is a historic capital and modern-day holy site for Muslims which is dotted with mosques, mausoleums, museums and sundry houses of worship. Sviyazhsk Island boasts of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and, as the former locale of a Soviet prison, brims with tales tragic and triumphant.
Our private Kazan tours are offered as both day tours and in conjunction with more in-depth Russia travels.
