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. Therefore, we decided to start getting acquainted 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. They knew little about Christianity; they asked the guide in advance to tell them more about it, including taking 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.

A very nice young man, we visited with him such lovely courtyards, alleys, the existence of which we did not even suspect, we learned so many new things,
We really liked everything and hope to continue our acquaintance.
Alexander! Thank you! We had a great time with you and thoroughly enjoyed it. See you soon!
What we personally missed: we would have liked more of a historical section related to ancient Moscow and the history of Kitay-gorod. There were quite a few stories about the Soviet period and bar life, but for our group, it wasn't very relevant. We think the program could have been more tailored to the age and interests of the group.
It would also have been interesting to add more historical facts, monuments, and details about old Moscow and the area itself. That said, the tour was still interesting, and some places and churches were truly memorable. These aren't really "cons," but rather suggestions for an even more comprehensive program.
We had a corporate group of 10 people. Our guide was Anton, and we had a tour of Bulgakov. I would like to point out the excellent organization; everything went smoothly. The managers were very accommodating to our changes in the number of participants. The bus was very comfortable. Anton is a super-engaged and motivated guide.
He lives this story and takes great pleasure in sharing his knowledge and creating impressions.
Everything went well. I recommend it!

I'd like to express my gratitude and that of my supervisor for organizing the tour! We were very pleased.
We would like to repeat this in October, but on a different route – ZIL.

Was on excursions along Sukharevskaya Square – we reached Tsvetnoy Boulevard, I didn’t expect it to be so interesting!
For those who are wondering whether to go or not – go, it really has become one of the coolest summer memories!!!
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
Note: excursion “Heart of the capital"for participants of the Moscow Oncology Forum 2025. Guides – Anastasia and Maria
It was very interesting to hear how the Krasnaya district developed. Presni, how Prokhorov's figure influenced the development of our city. A pleasant dive into a quiet, previously unexplored area!
Note: we are talking about the excursion with the guide Anton
There was a great tour of the area. Patricks.
We learned a lot of new things. Anastasia is a master of her craft. The tour was exciting, not boring at all, lively and interesting. Everyone was satisfied. Full of new impressions. I definitely recommend it. You will be satisfied!
Overall, this wasn’t the first time I’ve walked around Moscow with Anton, and each time it was a real adventure!
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. It would seem that you have lived in Moscow all your life, there was Moscow studies at school, but it turns out that you still don’t know so much!! In general, thank you very much, my mother said it was the best gift for her birthday!
Note: this is about the excursion “Soul of Moscow“
