Well paced and thoughtful
The route had enough structure without feeling packed. Our guide explained the context clearly and left time for photos, coffee and small questions along the way. Tour booked: Kostroma Ipatiev Monastery and Volga Merchant Route. A few small details could improve, but the main experience was strong.
