Historical WWII Tour: Moscow, Battle of Stalingrad and Battle of Kursk

More than 70 years after the end of WW2, the scars it left on Russia are still visible in many areas. Our 11-day tour visits Moscow, Volgograd and Kursk, to see sights of some of the most epic battles of the war. The Kubinka Tank Museum is the perfect place to start our trip, and the Monino Air Force Museum is another fantastic military display. Our time in Stalingrad will feature:

Battlefields of Glory: Stalingrad

The epic battle of Stalingrad was so grueling and momentous; we feel that it deserves a tour of its own. Enjoy a 6-day visit during the freezing Russian winter and see first-hand what makes the Battle of Stalingrad so momentous. Enjoy a guided tour of the city and connect the dots between history and present day. Visit locations throughout the city that played a role in the Battle. See used weapons at the Weapons of Victory Exhibition and Battle of Stalingrad Museum. 80km from Volgograd lies Kalach-On-Don, the City of Military Glory, and the location of the largest encirclement of German troops. Then, get ready to follow the path of the Pazner Army and the forces sent to relieve soldiers trapped in the Winter Storm.

Another tour highlight is a visit to Lyudnikov’s Island, a portion of land that held from three sides, with the Volga River running on the fourth side, for over a month in 1942. The ruins of the command post still stand today, and there are few locations connected to the Battle of Stalingrad that so aptly show its dexterity and against-odds triumph. Enjoy 4-star accommodation for the duration of your adventure. After the jam-packed days, there will be no better feeling than arriving at the comfort and warmth of the hotel. Enjoy our recommended restaurants for the best Russian cuisine and ask our expert tour guides for some of the best spots in Volgograd that most tourists miss.
