Excursions to Muranovo: which ones to choose and is it worth overpaying?

The museum offers 7 types of excursions, but not all of them justify their price. Let's figure out what to choose depending on your interests:

According to reviews, the most atmospheric excursion is “Tyutchev and his Muranovo", where the guide talks about the poet’s life, reads his poems and shows personal items from the family archive.
