To see mistakes and misconceptions one should have advanced knowledge in language, culture, history. Google translator and basic words are not enough.
For example, your Macos wrote about Bogolubovo (near Vladimir - its pretty close to your current trip?):
Боголюбово - ужаснейшая дыра, находящаяся в нескольких километрах от города Владимира. Интересно это местечко лишь церковью Покрова на Нерли, который некоторые (http://www.pravmir.ru/article_2360.html) называют "самым совершенным храмом на Руси". Осмотр достопримечательностей Боголюбово занял у меня полчаса. (http://macos.livejournal.com/tag/%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8E%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE)
Its all, all his complete impressions about place. Only Pokrov church is interesting for him.
That is, he knows nothing about very important/interesting bilding:
Prince Andrey Bogolubskiy, founder of Russia, was killed there, in ancient tower. Then, there is no so ancient civil building in Russia anymore. Its wonder, that thing is standing till nowdays. And there is long story. Not interesting, huhh??
Absolute ignorance! Thats your tour guide..you will get just idiotic claims and lies from him. And you'll never recognize it.
