Ice Tea and Lego: How Moscow Surprised a Romanian Guest. A Foreigner's Third Visit to Moscow / Day 4
On the fourth day of a private tour in Moscow, our guide Elena gave her guest a packed itinerary. It all began with a visit to the panoramic deck on the 89th floor of the Moscow-City complex. They reached the complex by metro, allowing them to experience the rhythm of city life. A surprise awaited them at the deck: the Chistaya Liniya company presented a new product—hot frozen tea. These were brightly colored berry bars that simply needed boiling water to create a fragrant drink. Read more...

Tretyakov Gallery, Vegetarian Cafe and Shopping in Moscow. Foreigner's Third Visit to Moscow / Day 3
Who would have thought that a personal tour of Moscow could turn into a true journey through art, gastronomy, and shopping? The guide began our English-speaking guest's walk with a visit to the Tretyakov Gallery. It was the third day of the program, and it promised to be action-packed. The tour of the Tretyakov Gallery lasted about two hours. The guest, who had already visited the Hermitage and many European galleries, was impressed by the collection of Russian art. She particularly enjoyed the classical works, although for some reason she declined to have her photo taken with them. Read more...

Our guest showed particular interest in Central Asia and purchased food, cosmetics, and small souvenirs. She had originally planned to go ice skating, but as a dental surgeon, she decided not to risk it. She explained that a hand injury could affect her work. Read more...

A third visit to Russia, language learning, and plans to move—that's how our personal tour began for Denisa, who is in love with Moscow and its culture. She had already been here last summer, and before that, in 2019, she visited St. Petersburg. This time, she arrived in January, six months after her last visit (photo report here), and judging by her passion for the Russian language and films, Moscow could become her future home. We're delighted that this charming foreigner chose us again, and we again provided her with Elena as her guide. Read more...

Today's private tour began in an unexpected place—in the very heart of Moscow, on Krivokolenny Lane, where the guide met our guests at their hotel. The original plan was to tell the participants about the history of the ancient alleys and buildings, but plans changed slightly: the guests' first task was to find a bank to exchange currency. It was their only day in the capital before their trip to Norilsk, so the guide helped them get their bearings. The snowfall and cold Moscow air were surprising to the guests, especially considering their next destination was harsh Norilsk. Read more...

Today, we had another wonderful personalized sightseeing tour in English! Our guest had originally planned to travel by car, but ultimately decided it was best to explore the city on foot.

Our guest was eager to ask questions, intrigued by Moscow's history and national events, including how and why the Kremlin was built.

How much more expensive are personal tours than mass tours?
If you are alone or in pairs, then a sum of several thousand for a walk around the city or twenty thousand for a car excursion is noticeable.
But if you're going for a walk with family or friends, the cost per individual participant is closer to a thousand or two - about what each person would pay for a group excursion with strangers.
For a group of 8 or more people, the price becomes even lower when calculated per person, which makes an individual excursion truly attractive.
***
A mass excursion is tourism, an individual excursion is a journey through the city’s secrets with a personal guide.
