From Russia with Love

Stretching nearly halfway around the globe and spanning eleven time zones, Russia covers over 5,000 miles from east to west, creating a country rich in culture and natural resources. Most foreigners associate Russia with onion dome churches, ever-flowing Vodka, and a tough, cold exterior with an exotic and mysterious demeanor. However, Russia is much more like the west than it appears, from ornate palaces of past dynasties in St Petersburg to old buildings intertwined together with modern high rises in Moscow. Well versed in the game of war, Russia has seen many changes throughout its history including the dissolution of the former Soviet Union in 1991. Though at times it may seem uncomfortable, bureaucracy plays an important role in the nation’s culture as well as in the experiences of those who wish to visit. Whether you choose to experience the bureaucratic history of mother Russia through immersive tours or to soak in the vibrant art and food scenes with cooking classes and culinary experiences, Mother Russia awaits you.
