On Wednesday, the guests had free time from the tours: they spent the day relaxing and shopping, and in the evening they attended a comedy performance. The next day, a minivan took the guests to Kubinka, to the Museum and Temple Complex of the Russian Armed Forces. They visited the main temple of the Armed Forces, strolled around the grounds, and stopped at the museum, where they picked up audio guides. The experience would have been interesting even without them, as the exhibition is superbly organized—everything is very modern. The ladies ended up staying there for two hours. Incidentally, there are stands near the museum serving various dishes, including shashlik, pancakes, and pelmeni. Read more...

They departed from Nagatinsky Zaton, where there's a beautiful metro station decorated with mosaic images of fish.

Our wonderful corporate excursionists gathered in the capital for a nutritionists' convention. Some of the girls were from Moscow, while others came from Rostov-on-Don, Ivanovo, and Nizhny Novgorod. All of them were studying at the International Center for Continuing Professional Education. Initially, the girls had requested a tour of the Stalinist skyscrapers, which they had never seen before. But by the time the guide arrived, the guests were eager to snack on some sushi, drink champagne, and relax a bit. They headed to the third floor of GUM, where they sat comfortably on the comfortable sofas right on the bridge. Read more...

We conducted a Moscow tour as part of a corporate event for UniCredit Bank. The group consisted of young employees working in the bank's offices with individuals. The choice was between "Hot Spots" and "Business People," and we settled on the latter. At the client's request, the corporate tour needed to have some interactive elements; informative, but not run-of-the-mill. The guide, Elena, did her best to engage the group in conversation: she shared interesting historical facts, asked questions, and listened attentively to the answers. Read more...

Yandex company. Excursion to the hot spots of Moscow, 2023

The event agency "Good Mays" approached us to organize a corporate tour of Moscow for 60 people. We decided on the "Sinner Places" with alcoholic beverage tastings at atmospheric establishments in Kitay-Gorod, lasting 2.5 hours. It turned out that the client was Yandex. We suggested dividing the group into three groups and setting off at hourly intervals. We selected three establishments along the route and selected drinks. The day before, Anton and Alexey made a special visit to the three "sinner places" they planned to visit. Read more...

Despite this, the guests were welcoming, inquisitive, and open to learning about Moscow's culture, architecture, and history. Read more...

The other day, we introduced true connoisseurs and experts to the hot spots of the subject. The tour began on Monday at 1:00 PM. Upon receiving the application, a reasonable question initially arose: what kind of enthusiasts decided to explore drinking traditions during such an unpopular time of year? During the tour, it became clear that the group came straight from the bar scene, and "Museum Monday" is a time of leisure for those who toil behind the bar nonstop through the weekend. As a result, the bar friends enjoyed a combination of sightseeing and drinking team building. Read more...

A children's excursion, all seven years old, brought together eight young explorers, preschoolers from the same kindergarten. The mother of one of the participants, with whom our guide, Anastasia, had walked around Moscow in the spring on a semi-holiday excursion in honor of her birthday, decided to organize another trip—this time for children. The theme was ghost hunting. In the Alexander Garden, the children enthusiastically searched for mystical stories. The young participants asked many questions and actively participated in the individual walk. Then the group headed to the red flame and observed preparations for the May 9th events. Read more...

These encounters allow for the exchange of knowledge and experience, broadening horizons, and capturing the dynamic changes in the city. It's helpful for guides to meet regularly, compare route maps, maintain their individual style of presentation, and reach a common understanding of the thematic content of their tours. Read more...

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.
