Hi Annie
I've copied the details and prices below from a letter sent out for a recent departure of this holiday. This will give you a guide but bear in mind prices might be slightly different for your holiday.
A decision on the ballet probably won't be made until nearer the time, depending on what is available, so you might not know what you will see until you arrive in Russia.
Kind regards
Olly, your editor
ADDITIONAL EXCURSIONS
In addition to the included excursions, there will be time to join other optional trips and activities during the tour. These will be offered subject to availability and are available to book through your Just You Tour Manager once in Russia. Payment must be made in Euro cash and we suggest that you allow approximately £350 (€320) per person if you wish to participate in all of these extra activities. Please find below some examples out of a range of additional, optional excursions, which are normally available. The prices will depend on the number of participants and are approximate.
Your Tour Manager will provide you with full details and price-information.

This visit is only available as an extension to the Kremlin excursion and as the exhibits are labelled in Russian only, a tour with our guide is highly recommended.

This is followed by a visit to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, which has been rebuilt since being blown up on Stalin’s orders in 1934. Approximate price per person - £30.00
• EVENING EVENT - A visit to the *circus, ballet or opera will normally be available. Prices range from 45.00 Euro to 120.00 Euro per person, depending on the event and availability of tickets. *Please note that the Moscow Circus sometimes use animals as part of the performance.
