About
The Belogorsky (White Hill) monastery, one of the most beautiful one in the Ural Region, is on the top of the Belaya Gora. Approaching the Belaya Gora you can see the huge Cathedral of the Elevation of the Cross. You can have a wonderful panorama from the top of the mountain. The Belaya Gora Monastery, also referred to as the ‘White Mountain Monastery’, is the largest cathedral in the Ural region, located approximately 120 km south of Perm. During the Russian Revolution, the monastery was sieged by the Red Army in 1917. The monastery was once a refuge for injured soldiers and civilians during the Second World War, and after a long time spent in ruins, the monks gathered their efforts to restore it back to what it once was, a sanctuary for salvation and prayer. • Guaranteed skip-the-line entrance

        • 1
          Your excursion begins when your guide meets you at an agreed destination. As you commence your journey, you will grow to admire the astounding beauty of the mesmerising Ural landscape. Before your transfer approaches the monastery, from far afield, you will see its white stone walls and its golden domes gleaming from the pinnacle of the magnificent White Mountain. Although the monastery barely survived its turbulent past, it now lives to shine with magnificence and grace. After you’ve had the opportunity to appreciate the monastery’s majestic architecture, and after having explore the two levels inside, your tour guide will excite you with insight into the monastery’s tumultuous history. Next, continue with your exploration of the grounds and then take a few minutes to submerge yourself in the spell-binding views. Afterwards, your transport will take you back to the city where you say ‘do svidaniya’ (goodbye) to your guide.

          Visit to Silvermere Golf Store
          A return trip to Silvermere golf store in Cobham Surrey to get advice about golf shoes to meet my needs with shoe inserts and finding the best fit. Joseph Bennett gave excellent advice and quickly helped me find the right shoes. He was so professional and friendly. The ladies golf clothes section is excellent with very friendly and helpful staff . Overall another great visit to Silvermere Thanks

          Inside the Minds and Machines of SpaceX and Blue Origin
          In his captivating journey into the heart of the space industry, James Roland Jones masterfully blends his rich background in engineering and journalism to bring an enlightening perspective on what propels companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin into the stratosphere of innovation. From his vantage point as both a keen enthusiast and an insightful observer, Jones peels back the layers of technical complexity and corporate vision, allowing his readers to glimpse the sheer magnitude of effort and ingenuity that goes into every rocket launch. His reporting goes beyond mere facts, capturing the spirit and ambition that drive individuals like Elon Musk to redefine humanity’s place in the cosmos. Through his vivid narratives and astute analysis, Jones does not just inform; he inspires, inviting us all to look upward and dream of the stars. Hailing from Hermosa Beach and armed with a dual prowess from UCLA, he is not merely reporting on space exploration; he is storytelling at its most compelling, making the intricacies of rocket engineering not only accessible but utterly fascinating.

          Bad experience with U Visit Russia
          This tour operator canceled my booking without going through proper channel making my trip to Murmansk a bad experience. Refund is not done on time. Highly not recommended to use this tour operator. Help service is not helpful as well.

          Good Tour around Volgograd.
          I can highly recommend this company. My Guide was friendly, professional, punctual, and knowledgeable, The tour took in a wide range of sites connected to the Battle of Stalingrad. Explanations and stories were offered at each site and it's significance was explained in detail. Even if you didn't know about anything about the Battle of Stalingrad you would learn a lot in an interesting and fun way.

          Amazing impression!!!
          Thank you for all your efforts and deeds to provide us the key to a magnificent, wonderful and a high artistically show. Above any expectation, both musically and visually. The Bolshoi is a world well-known stage for the highest level of music, opera and ballet show and that is why we wanted to catch a glimpse of that legendary place. I lack words to describe the performance (we are well acquainted with the music and we know and even the story, however, the words were meaningless but, anyone can overcome that barrier since the music, and the performance supplied us with pleasure of the highest level).

          Good excursion
          An amazing place in Moscow! 16-century buildings with a difficult story, a lot to see and to listen about. Guide Natalia was good. Metro ride is also an excursion. Moscow metro is like a museum.

          Main attraction of Moscow
          Actually too much time to see only Kremlin for me. But we were with the kids, and it was a good way to explore everything at our own pace. Daria is a very experienced guide, knows a lot about Kremlin. Best of all was to skip the lines.

          Russian Versailles
          This is the best part of Saint-Petersburg! With our great guide Victoria we had a really good time! The speed boat called "meteor" is much better than going to Peterhof by car - no traffic jam and going right from the city center. Good for kids.

          Interesting
          Yusupov Palace is not as famous as Hermitage but we were shocked by how amazing it is. Victoria is a very knowledgeable nice guide. Highly recommend.

          Appalling service, and very costly.
          We booked for the Swan Lake ballet on 25 December 2019, with travel date on 24 May 2020, through U Visit Russia. . Due to the Covit19 pandemic we were unable to visit Russia nor attend the ballet. Two tickets were purchased for US$465.50. U Visit Russia was advised of not being able to attend and agreed to pay a full refund but there would be a delay due to the number of cancellations. 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. Nothing and again they were contacted by email but no response was ever received. No refund was ever received. Nothing!! The lesson is to beware of ever dealing with this company.

          Where are the refunds
          I booked a private tour for Kamchatka with UVisit Russia for several people (40). Each person paid a deposit (through PayPal) of US$15.30. On June 22, those that first cancelled received a refund. However, I've sent email after email to this company's rep requesting refunds for 18 persons. To date, September 4, 2020, those 18 individuals have not received refunds. Not happy.

          U Visit Russia company way to go to see Russia
          Great people working for U visit Russia. I had pleasure to work with Maria Nerkrasova who arranged for our group of 14 Americans to visit Sergiev Posad (u must visit that monastery). She arranged for us tour guide Svetalna in Sergiev Posad - who provided us with excellent information. We visited Matroshka factory where we meet lady who's family been doing matreshka art for over 50 years, we had fabulous lunch with Russian traditional non alcoholic molt drink - kvass at Trapeznaya restaurant. We had awesome driver Ilya who drove our group from Moscow to Sergiev Posad and back with smile and confidence. Our group of 14 visitors from US can't say enough good things about U Visit Russia. Great company, great and caring people to work with like Maria, Anna, and their guides. If you decide to utilize U Visit Russia when you in Moscow ask them to secure Svetlana to be your tour guide, when you in St. Petersburg ask for Victoria to be your tour guide. When I come back to Russia again, i will use U Visit Russia company again 100%. Thanks, D
