Trill Bells in Wooden Tower
This picture of small trill bells in one of wooden towers of Kremlin in Izmailovo I took during excursion with my clients to local museum of bells which was established by Igor Konovalov, senior bell ringer of Cathedrals of Moscow Kremlin and Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
All my clients who were on this tower had opportunity to listen different types of bell ringing common for curtain areas of Russia. They learnt history of Orthodox bells, techniques of bell ringing and even took a first lesson for beginners, provided by Konstantin Mishurovsky, professional bell ringer with 17 years experience. No doubt that taking the lesson how to ring the bells, it was the most memorable part from this tour and all my clients had a lot of fun there.

I can’t say enough good things about Arthur. His English is fantastic, he’s knowledgeable, professional, detail-oriented, customer-service focused beyond words, dependable, honest, friendly, and has a great sense of humor – I could go on and on but you get the idea. One thing that I particularly liked was the way he collected details about what I was interested in seeing and doing. Then, he added his own thoughts and recommendations and together we created a customized tour plan for each day that far exceeded all of my expectations. He also demonstrated a brilliant ability to adjust on the fly if I wanted to modify the plan—no request was too difficult for him. One thing really stands out: since I was traveling alone, Arthur even brought along his camera to take pictures of me as we were touring around so I could be in the pictures. That meant so much to me.
In short, Arthur’s enthusiasm for what he does—and for his country—made my trip memorable and magical. Hiring Arthur will make your next trip to Russia even more spectacular, and I give Arthur and his services the highest recommendation possible.
Thank You Arthur!
