The Golden Ring is the name given to a route which winds its way through a number of ancient cities lying north-west of Moscow. Although far from circular, it is, by virtue of its ancient monuments, kremlins and the wealth of folk art, golden. Many of the buildings date from the 12th century and the journey between each city is alongside rivers and through green countryside, providing a glimpse of the simple rural life of Russia.

Although the traditional way to visit this region has been by one of the many boats which run between Moscow and St Petersburg (which we can arrange), inevitably one only sees a snapshot of the area and that is in conjunction with a large group of fellow passengers. As new small private hotels begin to open, it makes a private tour of this beautiful and historical area all the more appealing.
