“When visiting the historical center of Chistopol, you find yourself in the last century of a provincial town on the banks of the beautiful Kama river, where narrow streets, old merchant houses with balconies and wooden décor of residential buildings have survived. The history of the city is inextricably linked with the destinies of many famous writers and cultural figures. All this gives it uniqueness and original flavor! I am glad that children take part in our trips. Along with adults, they attentively listen to the guide's story and ask questions. This means that each trip will leave its mark both in the memory and in the soul! So it's not in vain! Get to know your native land, its history and diversity, and then you will be overwhelmed with pride for your small homeland! ”, The organizer of the trip, Elena Tolochko, shared her impressions.
