  • Guide to Plyos since 2002

    A professional guide to Plyos since 2002, a person who knows this city not only by historical dates but also by the living human stories connected with its streets, temples, and embankments. For over 15 years, Mikhail dedicated himself to working at the Plyos Museum-Reserve, where he not only conducted tours but also led the excursion department from 2011 to 2017, developing unique routes and making Plyos's culture accessible to a wide range of guests.

    His tours are not just walks but a full immersion into the atmosphere of old Plyos, its rich history, and picturesque landscapes. Mikhail invites you to walk the paths once roamed by Isaac Levitan with his sketchbook, to climb Cathedral Hill to admire the panoramas of the Volga, and to stroll through the quiet streets of Zarechye. You will see the famous Plyos embankment with its 19th-century merchant mansions and hear about how the city became a fortress, a trading center, a resort, and finally, a museum-reserve — a true pearl of the Volga and the "Russian Switzerland."

    Over the years, Mikhail has conducted tours for many famous personalities. His interlocutors on the streets of Plyos have included Ivan Urgant, Marina Alexandrova, Alexey Kravchenko, Nadezhda Borisova, Maxim Averin, and many others. These meetings only confirm the high professionalism and impeccable reputation of the guide.
