Not long ago we conducted another sightseeing tour for foreigners by car. It was a group from Iran, representatives of the construction business, who came to Moscow to visit their partners. Two excursionists spoke only English from languages other than their native ones, and one member of the group spoke Russian very well, having once lived in Kharkov for 20 years. He even offered our guide to be a translator during the excursion. But the guide, Elena Andre, is fluent in several foreign languages, including English, so the services of an excursion translator were not relevant in this case. Read more...

A group of six friends took a tour of "The Master and Margarita." Among them were a mother and a small child, aged between 10 and 12, who abandoned the group mid-tour due to heavy rain. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Tour guide Anastasia led the group to the building where Bulgakov lived. There, the group enthusiastically took photos near the graffiti-covered walls. One participant was particularly enthusiastic about capturing all the picturesque views along the route. When the rain intensified, the group headed to a coffee shop near Patriarch's Ponds, where they enjoyed tea. Read more...

We receive a request for three excursions for two guests from England: Diana and Miso. Diana is half Georgian, a former Muscovite, and has been successfully living in London for 17 years. Miso is her friend, an Englishman, who has never been to Moscow before. Diana sometimes comes to Moscow to visit her mother, but she has not been everywhere here and does not remember much, so she decided to introduce her friend to the capital by contacting us.

The group traveled from the Kemerovo Region to visit their daughter and grandchildren who live on Nikolina Gora in the Moscow region. This area is home to a writers' village. Sergei Mikhalkov (the author of the national anthem and father of Nikita Sergeyevich) once had a dacha here. The couple said they have three grandchildren, one of whom had an equestrian competition planned the day before, which significantly delayed their arrival. The elderly couple hadn't been to Moscow for over 40 years and asked our guide for a private tour of the city's sights. Read more...

Recently, we conducted a sightseeing tour for a prestigious group of oil workers from Uzbekistan. Zarubezhneft approached us with a request to organize a private sightseeing tour by minibus for their colleagues after official events. The main objective, as usual, was to impress with the beauty of central Moscow, so we couldn't miss Red Square, Zaryadye Hills, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the Patriarch's Bridge. In addition to postcard views of the Kremlin and its surroundings, we showed the distinguished guests of the capital the entire Boulevard Ring. Read more...

We contacted Unistaff Corporate Communications (an international agency that has been organizing and hosting high-level corporate events since 2004): We need to organize a bus and walking tour for 15 people on April 6th, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Guests need to be picked up from the Crowne Plaza Hotel, and the tour ends at Afimall, where they have dinner at 6:00 PM. The guests are Russian speakers, so the tour needs to be in Russian.

Belgrade-based hospitality professionals came to Moscow to provide professional support for the Hyatt Regency Moscow Petrovsky Park, which opened in 2017. Deciding to give them an engaging tour, we arranged a transfer from their overnight hotel to the city center. The first stop for these "brotherly" foreigners to discover Moscow was Red Square and the Kremlin. We visited the Floating Bridge and the hill on the northern landscape, offering superb 360° views of the Kremlin and its surroundings in the popular and enchanting Zaryadye Park. Read more...

Local history isn't just about excursions. From time to time, Moscow historians hold themed conferences. Anton Latynin, head of our bureau, attended one such scientific and practical event, organized by the Basmania Museum. The venue was the Moscow Museum on Zubovsky Boulevard. The conference, codenamed "Waters of Basmania," was dedicated to the historical and natural heritage of the Basmanny District. The invited experts focused on water—the Yauza River, its underground tributaries, and the historical heritage along its banks. Read more...

Have you noticed, friends, how hot spots and atmospheric drinking establishments have been popping up like mushrooms after rain in the capital's countryside in recent years? Whatever you say, our society is currently experiencing an extraordinary gastronomic boom. The variety of formats and ways to while away time with a glass of wine is off the charts. Even the most seasoned connoisseurs of drinking establishments can't always keep up with the latest discoveries. It's essential to periodically patrol familiar streets and spot new establishments.

The first excursion was for transport workers — "Poklon-City". The route from Poklonnaya Gora to Moscow-City can be called the excursion "From wars to business through the Union". So, in the process of traditional memories for this walk, one of the participants told about his great-grandfather, a Don Cossack, who fought in the civil war, including on the side of the Whites, and in the Great Patriotic War became a full cavalier of the Soviet Order of Glory. At the end, the guests went up to the skyscraper "Federation Tower". Read more...

Romantic excursion with a personal guide
December is a wonderful time of year: plenty of snow, not too cold, no wind; everything is white, like in a fairy tale. We receive a request for an overnight sightseeing tour of the festive capital. The client, a man, wanted to surprise a colleague: he ordered a limousine and decided to hire a Moscow guide from us. We discussed the details individually. A higher rate applies for the overnight rate (displayed in the order form). The client wanted something magical and romantic, and that's exactly what he got: a moderately snowy, festive city, minimal crowds on the streets, and an experienced personal guide for the client and his companion. A luxury car with a driver. 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.
