Russian Cuisine (at own expense)
Get a taste of traditional Russian cuisine.
Try the beet soup (aka borsch), crepes with red caviar, Russian salads, various pies, tea from samovar and other typical delicacies.
Thoroughly recommend this tour especially the vintage section- take your time to really go through the stalls and you will be sure to take home some precious memories and trinkets. I was very tempted to buy a Samovar but I did buy an amber ring and brooch. I would definitely return on my next holiday to Russia. The Walks with Folks guide also accompanied me to a tea house that was gorgeous and quaint with lovely food and drinks for sale.
This store is a MUST do/see while you are visiting Moscow!! The market is full of different vendors that offer a different things like matryoshka dolls, old Soviet souvenirs, food, and objects made of wood—- and MUCH MORE!! The vodka museum is absolutely spectacular, and you will see a wooden church!! KPYTO! My tour guide, Yulia, was very friendly, well spoken, knowledgeable, and very personable. She knows this tour like the back of her hand, and I recommend her for this tour!!!
