Who can benefit?

This tour is primarily a dream for the fans of tanks, for anyone interested in military vehicles, tracked vehicles, the military history of the 20th century. But even if you do not know what the T-34 or BMP-1 is, this tour will guarantee lots of fun! It's very exciting to ride inside or on top of a tank. 

What is so unique about this tour?

In Russia there are many military museums, including the world's largest tank museum in Kubinka, which is a must-see for every fan of military vehicles. At the museum, however, you can but look them, with no motion. Great military machines of the past will never draw you a full picture just sitting there. They were created for action! That's why the impressions from visiting just the museum are absolutely not enough to understand what an armored vehicle truly is. We offer you not only to see the technique, but also to hear, smell, touch, ride in it, and even shoot a tank gun! With the help of our experts, you will learn about the history of different models, the advantages and disadvantages; hear interesting stories and tales. After riding the tank yourself, you will meet with the entire armored family. Here you will find equipment ranging from the First World War to the present day. The collection consists of more than 50 vehicles. Everything can be touched, photographed, every tank can be climbed into! That is impossible in any other museum in the world.
