Born and bred in Kazan, 100% local =) I have a linguistic education, but also the enthusiasm for history and architecture - and now a guide's certificate) As a guide, I tend to be on the spontaneous side rather than speak strictly from the script. I try not to dig deep into details/names, but to give you the overall picture of Kazan's past linked to its streets and buildings (and a bit of Kazan's present, too).
We're going to see a very peculiar place, the old Tatar part of the city centre. It's great because: - it's quiet and atmospheric: carved wooden houses, narrow lanes and all that kind of things; - it differs from other Russian cities, as it's an example of a typical Tatar neighbourhood; - the architecture itself can tell a lot about how Tatar culture was shaped during the centuries (we'll see some distinctive features of Tatar traditional way of life)
On the stairs of the theatre right next to the lake. Grey or red backpack, a Russian shawl with floral pattern, sign "GW"
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
