Detailed itinerary Day 1 Friday AM On arrival a private vehicle with a guide and police escort will take the guests to the city centre with a brief stop en-route. After check in and some time to rest, guests will be taken to the Cafe des Artistes restaurant where cocktails and dinner will be served. Dinner Cafe des Artists is located in the historic part of the city within a waking distance form the new stage of the Bolshoi theatre. This cosy restaurant offers European cuisine, impeccable service and a stylish interior. Join the many celebrities who frequent the cafe, including artists and representatives of the political and business elite. Day 2 Saturday AM “KGB training” in Moscow Russia has always been notoriously infamous for its KGB and today guests will have a chance to participate in "KGB Training" and become real spies. After the dinner on Friday, each participant will find a letter in their room detailing the first mission. In the morning, the group will meet in the lobby to be divided into teams. The KGB agent appears and has a short talk with each team, hands over a folder of instructions and some useful information that should help completion of the mission. (Moscow map, stamps, magnifying glass, Russian money, etc). Each team has to complete its mission by identifying an agent waiting for them at different points and by passing over certain information without arousing the suspicions of the ever watchful secret police. You must be very careful, not to be caught. Good Luck!!! Lunch The last point of the mission will be lunch in “Glavpivtorg” restaurant located in the former KGB building. “GlavPivTorg” – this newly designed restaurant located in one of the KGB buildings, epitomises the interior of a Soviet institution. The abbreviation stands for “Main Beer Trade Company” from Soviet times. Here you will find yourself transported back in time to a Soviet restaurant of the 70s, albeit with better service and food! There is a big choice of beer with live music on Fridays. During lunch guests will meet a real former KGB Agent who will give a lecture about KGB and those times. Afterwards the guests will be handed further instructions – the mission is not yet over. PM After lunch guests will continue the day by visiting the Cold War Bunker. The Cold War Museum is based in the former top-secret Soviet command post, N42, known more simply as GO-42. Thank to "Perestroika", you now have the opportunity to visit one of the Soviet Union’s "underground command posts". The role of this bunker included acting as the federal telephone/ telegraph communication centre, the HQ for the Soviet leadership and the Ministry of Communications, as well as the Moscow area anti-aircraft defence communications centre. In a global nuclear war, this communication centre would have been one of the main command posts of the Soviet Government. On arrival the guests are dressed as Soviet army officers and are taught to assemble/dissemble Kalashnikov and special passes are issued to participants. The tour itself travels 60m below ground and you will visit all the halls and the Duty officer rooms. Museum exhibits include the military communication devices of the soviet era and you will watch a 15 minute film about the ‘Cold War’ between NATO and USSR and explore the 7,000 sq m of this unique underground complex. A welcome cocktail can also be served. Dinner In the evening the dinner will be served in “Genatsvale” Restaurant. The cosy restaurant is situated in the city centre, on Old Arbat street. Georgia used to be part of the former Soviet Union. Georgian cuisine has always been popular with Russians, some of the dishes like pickled cabbage, shashlyk has become part of present Russian cuisine. Tasty dishes, hospitable atmosphere and famous Georgian wine and live music will make this evening a memorable one. Day 3 Sunday AM In the morning after breakfast, guests will have an opportunity to visit the Kremlin prior to the official opening time. Special early opening of Kremlin (including early entrance to the Armoury museum and a tour of the Kremlin grounds/cathedrals.) You might be surprised how many ancient and magnificent structures one can see within the walls of the Kremlin: 15th century cathedrals (the coronation, wedding and burial place of early Russian rulers), the bell-tower, the Patriarch’s Palace, the Grand Kremlin Palace and of course the richest museum – the Armoury. The Armoury has a fascinating collection of Imperial insignia including precious clothes (some of which are currently on show at the Victoria and Albert museum in London), ceremonial harness and a unique collection of carriages. You can see the 17th century throne of Alexei Romanov covered with a mosaic of turquoises and 900 diamonds, a phelonion of Metropolitan Platon decorated with 150,000 pearls (it took the embroiderer 2 years to complete) and of course the famous Faberge eggs. You will also visit two of the 15th century cathedrals. Lunch Afterwards, lunch will be “Dymov” Restaurant. It is a new project of a sausage producer mogul Vadim Dymov and a fancy restaurateur Arkady Novikov. Trendy minimalist style restaurant with modern light interior and natural materials. Oak and yellow furniture, leather coaches of rich chocolate color, large red and black lampshades, open racks with branded glasses and wine bottles, unusual illumination - all this sets a special cozy atmosphere. The rooms are separated with archways and windows. The restaurant offers house beer and variety of European/Russian and even Japanese dishes. The original atmosphere, excellent cuisine and magnificent view of Moskva river and Kremlin (only a few restaurants have such a view) will make your evening unforgettable. Dinner In the evening, dinner will be arranged in one of the best and most luxurious restaurants in Moscow - “The Most”. The Most Restaurant is located in the centre of Moscow with one of the most beautiful dining halls in the city. The design recalls the architecture of the early 20th century’s belle epoch – plenty of cream tones punctuated by flashes of crimson, heavy curtains, fancy chandeliers, mouldings and cartouches. There is also a smaller second hall that calls to mind the cosy study of a French nobleman – quite an impressive room in its own right. The menu is a blend of French and Russian cuisines. Next door, the Most nightclub is currently one of the most popular in Moscow. Day 4 Monday AM The morning will be at leisure when again we can offer suggestions. In the afternoon the bus will take the guests to the airport.
