We will have our food at the place, where monks have their meals. It will be a lot of food! The meal is cooked exactly the same way as it’s cooked for monks.
Yum Yum!
This is a tour for the senses and truly exceeded our expectations. There is an interesting balance of history lessons, access you would not expect around the monastery, the visuals of the architecture and decor, a unique chance to observe the inner workings of the monastery, views from vantage points and the towers…Favourite parts included climbing the bell tower for the bell ringing and an exceptionally good meal. For something interestingly different that will add unique memories and experiences, we absolutely recommend this tour.
After looking at all of the big cathedrals in Moscow and being rather overwhelmed this was a much more intimate and personal experience. It was great to be able to be there by ourselves and the monk that showed us around and Anton both were obviously very passionate about the monastery so you were able to understand much better what the various churches and icons meant to them The view from the bell tower was awesome even if the climb up took some faith! Dinner was very good. This is definitely a unique experience.
