Moscow is especially beautiful in the run-up to the New Year! There are fairs selling traditional delicacies, various New Year's decorations throughout the city, and, of course, the unique, authentic Russian New Year's atmosphere. Visitors are sometimes willing to travel from practically the other side of the world to experience the local winter festivities. For example, representatives of India are very fond of visiting Moscow. Last weekend, our guide conducted a personalized sightseeing tour in a minivan just for such clients. Read more...

In early November 2022, the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, located on Red Square, was unveiled after restoration. The Ivanovo branch of the Russian Geographical Society, which was involved in the unveiling of the monument, commissioned a tour for its staff and students to commemorate the event. The guide was to meet the group at Vasilievsky Spusk at the designated time. Then, for an hour, they would share the most interesting and important moments related to the heroic deeds of Minin and Pozharsky, the monument itself, and highlights of nearby attractions.

It's midweek, and a call arrives. A mortgage broker, who also happens to be celebrating his birthday, asks us to lead him on a "Hot Spots" tour this coming Friday evening. His friends gave him a certificate for this fun, alcoholic bar crawl. With certificates, the recipient only needs to name a convenient date and time for the tour and get our guide's contact information. Sometimes, all the guides offering a particular tour are booked on the requested date and time. In such cases, we offer clients alternatives: either a different day/time, or even a different route.

Have you ever traveled around the city with a small group of friends or family on a vintage double-decker bus? And not just ride along a standard route, but choose your own preferred locations, starting and ending points, and stop times? Our clients, for example, had this opportunity. Perhaps we can do it again. We conducted our first private tour of this type this week. Read more...

It's midweek, and we get a call: "Good afternoon. We're planning a birthday celebration this weekend. But the usual options are no longer appealing—we'd like to book a tour. Something fun, if possible." We accept the request and offer a bar crawl. We begin preparations. One of the clients' requests was a list of bars along the route. Since the route is generally the same, but each guide has their own individual establishments, we first select an available guide and receive a deposit from the client. Read more...

We previously conducted a series of tours for Russian Railways (RZD) around Moscow City. This time, we took railway workers through the alleys of Kitay-Gorod as part of the "Soul of Moscow" route. Since there were over 240 participants, we divided them into 16 groups: four per day. After receiving the request, we sent the client a contract, coordinated it with a Russian Railways lawyer, and issued an invoice. We assigned the groups to the specified dates, at times convenient for both us and the client, and sent the lists to Russian Railways. In response, we received lists of participants for each group.

Tour of Red Square in English
Tour of Red Square in English
It's midweek in September. We receive a request for a private tour for a group of 25 people. The group is international, flying to Moscow for an event. Shortly before their departure, the organizer realized it would be a good idea to take the group on a walking tour of the city center, preferably with a private guide. The tour, which was custom-made, needed to be in English and scheduled to take place within a day of the request. The client wasn't sure whether they wanted a walking tour or a tour by public transportation. He asked for suggestions and a budget. Read more...

This is not the first time that we have conducted an individual tour for the sales department specialists of the Nikoliers company in the vicinity of residential complexes under construction by MR group. The main request in such cases is not limited to the historical context of the area. We try to add nearby green areas, social facilities, kindergartens, schools, shopping and sports centers, cozy cafes and quality restaurants to the tour program. Read more...

A client approached us with a request to conduct an English-language tour of Moscow for 10 remote employees from India. He asked us to suggest options. We proposed a three-hour sightseeing tour in a Mercedes Sprinter around Red Square, with or without a visit to the Kremlin. The client settled on this option: a corporate walking tour "The Heart of the Capital" with an emphasis on Russian culture, traditions, and meaning in general. Russians understand the concepts of commitment, time, money, and business. We wanted to explain to foreign guests, in a profound way, who we are and why we are "the way we are." Read more...

Excursion on the Radisson ship for doctors and medical workers
Last week, one of our guides, Egor, led a tour that wasn't quite our usual. The client wanted a guide who not only had knowledge of Moscow's history and architecture but also played a musical instrument, was able to moderate events, and host entertaining quizzes. Radius has such guides. We received a request for a tour for 50 doctors and medical workers about a week before the date. We agreed on the scenario and budget with the client. We received payment and sent the guide's contact information. Read more...

Wedding excursions around the Patriarchal
Walking wedding tour of the Patriarch's Ponds
Late August. Excursions for bachelorette parties, birthdays, and weddings are in high demand! We're receiving two requests for excursions during a wedding, including one on the way from the registry office to the restaurant. One requested a tour using the agency's transport, the other a walking tour. Both had romantic overtones, without dates or predetermined phrases. We're taking your requests into account. For the Moscow minibus tour, we developed two routes: one for rain, the other for clear weather. The exact number of guests in both groups was not known in advance. Initial requests ranged from 7 to 15 people. Read more...

As you know, elections were held from September 9th to 11th. On this exciting day, Friday, Moscow City Hall ordered schoolchildren to take a walk... a cultural and meaningful stroll through Moscow's museums and streets with a guide. So, teachers and parents searched for tour agencies and chose from a selection of walking routes. We conducted five individual tours and were forced to turn away another six or seven potential clients due to the guides' availability. Every agency was in great demand. Read more...

Evening excursion "Master and Margarita" in Moscow
Evening excursion around Moscow for family and friends "Master and Margarita"
On Friday, Yegor led a private evening tour of "The Master and Margarita." At first, the friends and their families considered walking at night, but dreading the autumn Moscow chill, they opted for an evening stroll. Everyone had at least seen the film before the tour, and some were serious fans of Bulgakov's work. Overall, you can enjoy a pleasant and culturally rewarding stroll not only during the day, but also late in the evening, and sometimes even at night. Read more...

Tour of Moscow City for the management of JSC Russian Railways
In the spring, we conducted a private tour for several Russian Railways employees. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to book a corporate tour for seven groups of Russian Railways management, totaling 79 people. Four groups took the Poklon-City route and four took the Uncle Gilyai route (about the life of the capital by the author of the legendary novel "Moscow and Muscovites"). We organize the tours. We request all the necessary information from our clients, discuss the details, and send the invoice. Read more...

Excursion support to the Red October factory
At the Red October factory
— Hello, is this the tour assistance team? — Good afternoon. Yes. What date and how many people would you like to book for? — We're organizing a corporate tour of the Red October factory in three days. We're short on guides. We'd like to book a guide who would tell guests about Moscow and its sights along the way to the factory. She'd be interesting, truthful, and have no dates. We're sending Nastya. We explain the task: give a great overview of Moscow along the way to the factory, supervise the entry of the tour vehicles through the ancient front gates, and hand over the guests to the factory guide.

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.
