Departure airport
We meet you at the Moscow airport, transfer you to your hotel and leave time to rest after the flight. We do not schedule the Kremlin on arrival day; if your flight lands in the morning and the family has energy, we can add a short 90-minute visit to Izmailovo Kremlin. A welcome dinner is included in the evening at an agreed restaurant. Night in Moscow.
Meals: Welcome dinner included. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Dedicate the day to the Moscow Kremlin and the Armoury Chamber (the Kremlin is closed on Thursdays, in which case we swap days). Armoury admission follows timed sessions at 10:00, 12:00, 14:30 or 16:30; to keep the pace relaxed, we do not add Moscow City to this day. Lunch is included at an agreed restaurant. Night in Moscow.
Meals: Breakfast included. Lunch included; the venue or packed lunch is agreed before departure. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.

Meals: Breakfast included. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
Enjoy a free morning to rest after the train. In the afternoon, visit the Hermitage with your guide (about 2–2.5 hours with children; the museum is closed on Mondays, so we swap days if needed). Lunch after the museum is included. Night in St. Petersburg.
Meals: Breakfast included. Lunch included; the venue or packed lunch is agreed before departure. Other lunches and dinners are paid separately; we can help with restaurant choices.
