Berlin-Moscow / Europe
Guided Adventure Tour

Welcome to Berlin, the German capital! Per transfer or individual arrival, you head for your hotel which is located near the center. During our Welcome Drink and Dinner we get ready for our adventure tour.

Early in the morning and after a group photo at the historic Brandenburger Tor, we head straight to the Baltic Sea, where our overnight stay is in the Slowinski National Park, the "Polish Sahara", with its white sand beach and the large dunes.

During the day we will take a sightseeing tour of Gdansk and spend the night in this city full of history.

Our adventure tour leads us into the capital of Lithuania, to Vilnius. From the 16th century, Italian master builders created here numerous baroque buildings and so the old town of Vilnius is today among the largest in Eastern Europe and was declared by the UNESCO as a world cultural heritage and carries also the surname "Rome of the East".

From Vilnius we travel on towards the north to Latvia, the capital Riga.

The old Hanseatic city and largest city of the Baltic States is famous for its art nouveau buildings and its well preserved old town. Reason enough to put in on our trip a relaxing day to your own free disposal.

Today we travel to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It lies on the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea. Sights are i.e. the remnants of the medieval castle constructed in the 14th century, the castle built by the Russian czar Katharina II and the Russian orthodox Alexander-Newski-Cathedral with its visible onion domes.

A further highlight on our adventure trip is quite surely the visit to Saint Petersburg, the second largest city of Russia after Moscow and the fourth largest city of Europe. Due to the location during the summer solstice at night it stays quite light.

We will take an extensive sightseeing tour of the former capital of the Russian Empire and briefly named city Leningrad. Saint Petersburg is a culture center important throughout Europe with famous sightseeings like the Peterhof, the Amber Room in Catherine Palace, the Church of the Savour and the main avenue Newskj Prospect. The historic inner city is a world cultural heritage of the UNESCO and is exceeded in this regard worldwide only of Venice.

Today is at your own disposal. Our hotel is located in the center of Saint Petersburg and so everything is easy to reach.

A sheer endless expanse awaits us and so our overnight stay is half way from Saint Petersburg to Moscow, in Vyshniy Volochek. Here we get to know a very simple and rustic sleeping quarters.

Finally - we reach the absolute highlight of our trip: Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation with its approximately 12 million inhabitants. For the next three nights, we spend the night in the political and economic center of the country.

A full day program awaits our travel group. Planned is a City Sightseeing Tour with the highlights Metro Station, Bolshoi Theatre, Red Square, Kremlin, Saint Basil's Cathedral, Nikolskaya Street, KGB Headquarters, GUM department store and others. As an option - if possible - in the evening a performance at the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre.

Today is at your own disposal. During the day the Metro (underground train) is usually the fastest option to many places within easy reach.

Even if we head back on our return journey westwards to Berlin, so awaits us some more great highlights such as our destination, the town lying near the border of Belarus, Smolensk. Smolensk was mentioned in 863 the first time as a city in a document. It's location in the Kievan Rus running along the Dnieper trade route brought it early to the rank of a trade town.

We cross the boundary to Belarus and stopover in Minsk, the capital and at the same time the largest city of Belarus. Well worth seeing in Minsk are mainly the Old Town, formerly known as "uptown" to the Orthodox Holy Spirit Cathedral, the old monastery of the Bernadine Sisters from 1628 and the Town Hall rebuilt after original historic plans.

The longest day on our adventure tour leads us over endless stretches with border crossing to Poland into the capital Warsaw.

An organized sightseeing tour of the town brings us closer to Warsaw with its numerous palaces, the old town and the unique culture monuments. Very impressive are the world class Polin Museum, which shows the history of Polish jews as well as the former Warsaw Ghetto with a still standing historical wall.

Today we travel to the western part of Poland, on the Warthe River, the historic University City Poznan (formerly Posen). The city belongs to the cultural focal points of Poland.

On our last day we head directly to Berlin. During the traditional Farewell Dinner in the evening we will look back and reminisce about our common adventure tour.
