Temple Tour and Signature Gastronomic Tour of Moscow for Guests from China

At the end of April we received a request from guys involved in the vape business. Their partners from China planned to come to Moscow for negotiations and they needed to be given a car tour in English of the main attractions of the capital.

Elena was chosen as the guide for this group. She is fluent in English, loves sightseeing tours, and recently became one of 10 guides specializing in gastronomic excursions around Moscow.

Barney and Cheryl, entrepreneurs from China, had never been to Moscow before. So they decided to start their acquaintance with the city from the very center — Red Square. Despite the fact that the guys are Buddhists, they really wanted to visit St. Basil's Cathedral, among other places. They knew little about Christianity, so they asked the guide in advance to tell them more about it, including to take them to the main cathedrals of Moscow.

After visiting Red Square, Elena took foreigners to St. Basil's Cathedral, where they enjoyed and admired the decoration, and also listened to chants performed by a male church choir. Then the guide invited them to GUM to try coffee and legendary ice cream.

Guests from the Middle Kingdom liked the coffee break: they praised both the coffee and the ice cream. Then there was a visit to the festival cafes, where Barney and Cheryl, together with the guide, tasted lagman, dolma and kebabs. The businessmen were satisfied with the unfamiliar dishes.

After the signature meal, the guide took them to Zaryadye, where the excursionists walked, among other things, along the Floating Bridge. Then they went by minivan to the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and to the Radisson Collection Hotel to see the city panoramas. The diarama at the Radisson Hotel, as well as the hotel interiors, impressed our Chinese businessmen so much that they even wanted to stay overnight at this hotel.

The unexpected rain made adjustments to the individual excursion of Barney and Cheryl. But the guide did not lose her head and suggested that they take advantage of the opportunity to continue the gastronomic part of the trip by visiting an Italian restaurant. There, the foreigners from China tried various drinks and dishes of Italian cuisine, then, having waited out the rain, continued to get to know Moscow under the sensitive guidance of our guide: they drove along Prechistenka, past the Novodevichy Convent, and visited a number of other places significant for Russian history and architecture.

    Thank you and Masha for yesterday!
    The speakers are happy. The connection in the headphones often failed, especially at the checkpoint, but this is our current life situation. It was audible if they were standing close, no further than 1.5 meters. Colleagues have already asked for your contacts. I will gladly share and will be glad to have a new opportunity to work with you. Special thanks to the Director for the Bureau

  13. Excursions with the travel agency "Radius" are always positive emotions for you, if you have chosen this agency. On your next visit, you planned an excursion to Zamoskvorechye. This is not the first time we have met with the guide Anton. We definitely recommend him to all our friends. The tour is educational, not overloaded with dates, the information is voluminous, but easy to perceive, because it is presented not like in a history textbook, dryly and academically, but in a light narrative manner. Thank you for this approach. We will contact the Radius bureau more than once on our next visit to Moscow.

  16. Studied together with relatives and Radius The soul of Moscow on my birthday. Everyone enjoyed the walk immensely! Anton told us many interesting facts about the capital and its history, led us into such spiritual depths that no one present suspected. Although among us there were mainly those who either from birth or have been living in Moscow for a very long time and walk around it a lot. It was educational, soulful and unforgettable 🙂

    Overall, this wasn’t the first time I’ve walked around Moscow with Anton, and each time it was a real adventure!

  17. Anastasia, good afternoon!
    I wanted to express my gratitude once again for the wonderful excursion on Saturday - we really enjoyed the walk, the information and the communication with you, then we discussed for a long time what everyone remembered and what struck them.

In general, thank you very much, my mother said it was the best gift for her birthday!

Everything was just magical: a slight frost of -4, snow, numerous Christmas trees, decorations, lights, garlands and all this to the interesting educational story of Anastasia. Despite the fact that we knew something about the New Year, there was a lot that was new, unexpected and interesting. And all this to the music of Tchaikovsky. In general, we are delighted. Thank you for the New Year mood you gave us. It is priceless!!!! Thank you!

  22. On my birthday, I went on an excursion with my friends. "Sinister Places". Excellent entertainment for a company. Professional guide Anton - special thanks to him for an interesting story and route. All recommended places and drinks were a hit with everyone. Lots of interesting, curious and funny facts. Thanks to this agency and of course to the tour guide Anton.
    Vyacheslav December 9, 2024
  23. The excursion is unusual, unconventional, I really liked it. The involvement of a girl in the role of Nina from "The Seagull" harmoniously fit into the narrative. I recommend developing in this direction. "Apartment 44" came in handy exactly at the moment when it was most needed. My wife is very pleased with both the excursion and the painting.

    Note: Review of the excursion-performance, which the guide Alexander specially developed as part of the order "Dream Tour".

  24. We were on the excursion "Sinful Places", our group was small, three people, one of whom had a birthday, which we told the guide Alexander, and the format of the excursion turned into a real holiday! In addition to the walk and very interesting facts on the topic of the excursion, we went to incredibly creative establishments with delicious drinks and unusual serving, a cheerful contingent and a cool unusual interior, our guide Sasha took into account all our little wishes, conducted the excursion very cheerfully and sincerely! Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday! Very cool, we are delighted!

  25. This is the second time I've been walking and wandering around Moscow with the private excursion bureau Radius. The founder, native Muscovite Anton Latynin, a theater and art critic, leads the excursions himself and out of love.

    "Theater capital" - an author's route through the places of Meyerhold, Stanislavsky, Nemirovich-Danchenko, Tairov (undeservedly forgotten, it was he who created the current Pushkin Theatre on Tverskoy Boulevard).

    Two and a half hours of fascinating stories and urban theatre legends. I'll tell you one:

    The great composer Sergei Prokofiev lived in Kamergersky Lane. And he managed to die on the same day as Stalin. There was a terrible crush in Moscow, everything was blocked off, the entire capital wanted to say goodbye to the leader. So, to see Prokofiev off, the coffin was carried out from Kamergersky Lane on the roofs. I can vividly imagine this picture.

Benefits of individual excursions

  • The excursion can be either educational or easy, depending on your wishes.
  • Without loud laughter and inappropriate jokes from other tour participants.
  • You choose the time yourself - no inconvenient schedules.
  • All attention is on you. Answers to all your questions.
  • We pay special attention to the places that interest you.
  • Your photos will not be crowded with other participants.
  • At individual excursion you dive deeper.
  • A personal guide remembers you, and you remember him. Such moments remain in memory.
  • An atmosphere of tranquility and privacy.
  • There is less strain on your hearing and attention, since the guide is literally right next to you and speaks only for you.
  • You hear everything the tour guide says.
  • No one is in a hurry. Take a good look at the sights - they won't leave without you.
  • Possibility of adapting the route to your preferences and interests.
  • The guide doesn't make stops at points of sale (at least we certainly don't).
  • Take a break when needed - to rest or take photos.
  • The opportunity to discuss personal impressions and emotions with the guide during the process.
  • Possibility to visit places closed to large groups.
  • Absence of outside pressure.
  • Opportunity to gain insight or exclusive information.

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 walking tour of the city or twenty thousand for a car excursion is significant.

But if you're going for a walk with family or friends, the cost for an individual participant approaches one or two thousand - the amount that each person would pay for a group excursion with strangers.

For your group of 8 or more people, the price becomes even lower when calculated per person, making a private tour truly attractive.

Our tour agency offers a variety of excursions in foreign languages, including excursions for foreigners, to make your visit to Moscow unforgettable. For example, Moscow temple tour for Chinese in English will allow you to learn more about the cultural heritage of the city. In the process, you will be able to discuss personal impressions with the guide. Thanks to the exclusive excursion support, you will not only see the capital, but also feel its atmosphere.

***
A mass excursion is tourism, an individual excursion is a journey through the city’s secrets with a personal guide.

The Radius excursion bureau offers a variety of cultural, historical and sightseeing tours of Moscow in Russian and foreign languages. Our services include a car tour of Moscow, as well as unique routes created especially for you. We are ready to offer exciting walks for foreign guests, including excursions for English-speaking visitors. Our stylish and intelligent guides will provide a lively and exciting immersion in the history and culture of the capital.

We organize excursions for foreigners and provide an opportunity to enjoy a tour of Moscow temples for Chinese in English. Our team is proud of its experience working with corporate clients, including Yandex, Faberlic, Uniqlo and Russian Railways. In the "We Work!" section you will find examples of excursions organized for business customers and educational institutions. For those looking for an original gift, gift certificates for individual excursions with modern guides are available.
