A few words about regular tourists on historical walks around the capital
For almost a year, we've been running minibus tours of Moscow for a large government organization. The service began with a request just before New Year's and has continued successfully to this day. Initially, these were almost monthly groups of up to 18 people in a Sprinter. Now, we rent a bus for new city tours, as the number of employees who want to enjoy a cultural ride keeps growing. It goes like this: Once a month, we receive requests for a tour. We then develop a route that might appeal to them. Read more...

Excursion to a wedding. Twice
Guide Egor takes a tour to a wedding
Wedding tours are often requested. This Saturday, we had two wedding tours: a sightseeing tour by minibus for 12 people and a dream route, a customized tour for 25 people. Both started at the registry offices and ended at restaurants. We decided to add a twist to the sightseeing tour by minibus with a standard route, and the guide alternated between explaining the sights and singing to the guests, using a harmonica and guitar. The client was notified in advance, and they promised to sing along. The second tour was more moderate. Read more...

Excursion "Sinister Places" for bloggers "Men at the Stove"

Hen-party. Alcohol excursion... and a cheerful man guide
This Saturday, we had two bachelorette party excursions going on at the same time. One group chose the "Master and Margarita" route, the other the "Sinner Haunts" (the bar-hopping version). We booked both excursions carefully, taking great care not only in choosing the custom itineraries but also in selecting the guides. However, we didn't have to do any serious planning—the routes were ready-made. In both cases, we requested young, charismatic, and cheerful male guides. 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.
