Licensed guide, historian, art historian, member of the Union of tour guides of the Russian Federation. In my travels, I prefer small-format author tourism with meaning and content, unique stories of specific people who inspire and make the place in which they live unique. Without souvenir and superficiality. Deep dive.
If you love the province, like me, like to walk around the city and see its face, prefer comfortable and cozy leisurely travel, I will gladly discover for you the beautiful Kaluga and its surroundings.
