Some of the reviews of our Kremlin Tour:
The most amazing was the tour to the Armoury and the State Diamond Fund. Wow. I have seen many museums in the world. Nothing beats the Armoury for collection of carriages and costumes. Nothing beats the museum of jewels and gold; better even than the Crown Jewels in Tower of London.
