Winter scenes in Suzdal
There are dozens of beautiful churches and amazing landscapes in Suzdal. Old churhes and extremely picturesque landscapes attract big amount of travellers to visit the one of the ancient cities in Russia. In 1983 Suzdal has got the "The Golden Apple" prize of the International Travel Commentators Association as the most notable tourist place.
Here is a few crhronicles of this famous town in Russia:
Like all ancient Russian cities, the history of Suzdal is both beautiful and terrible. In 1096, the city was burned down during a civil war. Eleven years later, it was sieged by Bulgarians from Volga area, who devastated the region. In 1238, like many Russian cities, it was conquered, burned down, and brought to ruin by the Mongol-Tatar tribes led by the grandson of Genghis Khan. In 1611, after a half-year siege, Suzdal was destroyed by Polish-Lithuanian interventionists, but 23 years later, under the leadership of Dimitri Pozharsky, it survived an attack of Crimean Tatars. A plague wiped out half of the population in 1654, and a great fire destroyed much of the city in 1719.

I found you on the Internet and had good vibes. Your concern for our seating at the circus and ballet came through on line, and you did get us the bst seats in both places.
But still, we didn't expect to have the most caring guide we've ever had in all our years of extensive travel.
We talk about you anytime someone asks about our trip to Moscow. We can only express our appreciation for your warmth, never ending consideration, planning, guiding knowledge, air conditioned car, and yes, English.
We cannot thank you enough for making our Moscow visit exceptionally terrific.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
