On the first day of summer, guests from China arrived in Moscow to take a guided tour of the city and learn many new and interesting things about the capital.

The guide was also assisted by a translator, who explained any confusing points. The guests were eager to have Radius staff show them around the capital, so they agreed to have the tour translated into English. The group numbered over forty people, and guide Elena met them in Skolkovo. Read more...

A family from Nizhny Novgorod with two children flew to Moscow by helicopter, and a guide met them at the Reutov Heliport.

The daughters saw an advertisement for the exhibition on TV and were thrilled. The exhibition had two halls. They first saw the North—the guests were interested in Kamchatka, as they were planning a trip there. The tour took about an hour. Read more...

The next day, we planned a family trip to Tsaritsyno and a cruise on the Radisson yacht.

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.
