Radius Bureau: Moscow without the tour guide
We organize private walks and city routes for people who find "look left, look right" more than just a simple "look left." Moscow isn't a museum showcase or a series of landmarks, but a city: with memories, architecture, courtyards, literature, restaurants, quirky curiosities, and conversations about the future of the capital and the country.
We work with private guests, families and international visitors. We can offer an established tour or create a bespoke itinerary to suit your needs, from a walk for two to a multi-day programme for visitors to Moscow.
The starting point is not the route, but you.
The catalog helps you quickly choose a theme and location, but we regularly tailor the tour to the client, depending on who's going, why, the language, how much time is available, what's already been seen, and the desired tone: relaxed, festive (for example, with a guitar), intellectual, businesslike, family-oriented, or a little rowdy (alcohol-friendly tours available).
We do not simply repackage mass tourism. We design every walk around the people taking part. The same neighbourhood can therefore become the setting for a romantic date, an outing for international visitors, a family day, a birthday gift or a special itinerary to mark a wedding.

When do you need the Radius tour agency?
Radius Tour Bureau takes care of organising tours in Moscow for private guests, families, companies and special occasions. We tailor each itinerary to the people taking part, taking into account their interests, language, preferred pace, transport, age and available time.
A private walk without the crowds
Whether you're a couple, a family, or friends, the area, theme, and pace are tailored to your interests, not the schedule of a large group.
Guests of Moscow
We're putting together a clear itinerary for first-time visitors and a more nuanced itinerary for guests who have already seen Red Square and are looking for a different layer of the city.
International Guests
We conduct tours in Russian and foreign languages, taking into account the cultural background of our guests and helping to show Moscow without the official tone.
A family outing, romantic date, birthday, wedding or gift
We make the walk personal: without overwhelming dates, with lively speech, pauses, beautiful spots, and the feeling that the city is open just for you.
For businesses: tours tailored to your needs
For companies, we create corporate programmes and itineraries for property developers and estate agents, welcome delegations and business partners, and arrange tours for hotel guests, journalists and bloggers. We bring together guides, transport, scheduling and content in one seamless programme.
Route from scratch
When an off-the-shelf tour is not enough, we design an original experience around a neighbourhood, profession, building, biography or event.
Examples of bespoke private tours
Two very different examples illustrate the bureau’s approach to private guests: a multi-day programme for an international visitor and a family day in Moscow. Our solutions for businesses are presented in the large panel above.
A foreign guest and the city for a few days
Not a quick overview, but a personalized program: the City, the metro, cafes, unexpected spots, and the vibrant Moscow rhythm for a guest who already has the city in her heart.
A day in Moscow with the family
Sometimes a good excursion isn't just a single site, but a whole day: logistics, adult interests, children, and a convenient ending.
What does a private format look like?
We don't turn the city into a lecture at a monument. A good private tour hinges on the route, the energy of the place, the personality of the guide, their speech and pauses, atmospheric angles for photographs, attention to the people walking alongside, and the connection between everyone present. Such things don't just happen.
All this is the work of the excursion bureau and a highly qualified guide, who is simultaneously a historian, a powerful storyteller, an actor and a director of the tour.

If you need quick directions, start with the directory. If your task is unusual—guests, date, area, language, transportation, or a special occasion—it's best to discuss the route with the manager right away.
