* Car tour to the Alexander Palace of Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin). On this tour, you will not find yourself in a noisy crowd of tourists who dream of seeing the Amber Room. I invite you to see Tsarskoye Selo in a completely different way – thoughtful, secluded, piercingly beautiful, on the eve of the terrible and tragic events of the Great October 1917. The Alexander Palace, located a stone's throw from the world-famous Catherine Palace, was for many years the favorite home of Emperor Nicholas II, his wife, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, and their children. Since 1905, they lived there permanently, after Nicholas II left the throne, they were under house arrest there, and it was from here that the "way of the cross" of the last Royal family began – exile to Tobolsk, then Yekaterinburg, towards inevitable death. After extensive years of restoration, the Alexander Palace has finally reopened its doors to visitors. This is a unique opportunity to see the "personal space", the happy family home of the last Russian emperor. Elegant living rooms, cozy workrooms – exquisite interiors decorated in Art Nouveau style, filled with authentic things of Nicholas II and Alexandra Feodorovna. After the tour of the palace, we will continue to get acquainted with the life of the Royal family in Tsarskoye Selo – we will walk near the house of Anna Vyrubova, the Empress's closest friend, and also visit the majestic Feodorovsky Sovereign Cathedral. There is a beautiful church shop next to the temple, which sells rare books about the Romanov dynasty, as well as delicious pies and cupcakes. This tour can safely be called exclusive, and most importantly, it leaves no one indifferent, because somehow, mysteriously, it was Tsarskoye Selo that witnessed both the grandiose flourishing of the Russian monarchy and its tragic decline. Important: if desired, this tour can be supplemented with a visit to the Catherine Palace or the Pushkin Memorial Lyceum Museum.
