The beautiful Yekaterinburg Circus building is an intricate lace dome that arches over seating for 2600 spectators.

Fantastic tour of Ekaterinburg! I highly recommend booking Alexandra and this tour. Alexandra is a knowledgeable guide who brought the history of the city to life and made great recommendations for the rest of my stay in the city. It is a great way to see the city sites while trying some delicious local food and drinks. She also made great recommendations for the rest of my stay so I was very busy while there and wish I had more time!

After some time no refund was forthcoming and U Visit Russia was again contacted by email and we were advised that due to the volume of cancellations the refund would be credited to our credit card within 9 weeks.

Greg was an incredible guide who spoke excellent English and was very friendly. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire tour. The ice cave was scenic with many Russian folk tales associated, as well as significant history. Greg provided these historical and interesting facts in English so we could enjoy a properly curated experience. Greg went above and beyond to ensure we received a satisfying cultural experience by taking us to a very local restaurant with delicious food, and further recommending additional culinary venues for the remainder of our stay in Ekaterinburg.
