Galloping through the beauties. "Accelerated" author's excursion for MGIMO students

 on  • Tags: ,

Guides Anton and Alexey started with the participants from MGIMO on buses. The individual route was directed along the shortest route along Vernadsky Avenue, where magnificent views of the capital opened up. The guides shared interesting information about Moscow and its symbols, such as Moscow State University and the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

On Vasilievsky Spusk, after disembarking, Masha and Nastya joined the guides, and the participants were regrouped. Everyone was given headphones, and the organizers set a clear task - to be at the Kutafya Tower of the Kremlin in an hour and a half, so that the guys could go to the concert, because, unfortunately, the excursion began an hour after the appointed time, since the start of the walk was delayed due to some of the participants.

The group included many MGIMO students representing different regions, as well as guests from Transnistria and Armenia.

The walk along Vasilievsky Spusk was filled with a Christmas atmosphere, as everything around was decorated for the holiday. Anastasia talked about Zaryadye Park, the symbolism and structure of St. Basil's Cathedral, and also answered many questions about Red Square, the Moskvoretsky Bridge and other attractions. Despite the cold weather, the excursionists were in a good mood.

The guests walked around Red Square, taking photos and asking questions. For example, about the expression "Moscow does not believe in tears" and the opportunity to enjoy ice cream in GUM. Alexey explained that the phrase is connected with the history of the rise of Moscow and the collection of tribute, when tears were not believed, and happily confirmed that you can really try ice cream in GUM, which is what was done.

Having reached Nikolskaya Street, we admired the lanterns and took photos. The guide told and showed how to make a wish in the city by throwing coins so that it would certainly come true. Then the participants walked through the Alexander Garden, where they learned interesting facts about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal Flame. Having stood at the monument in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, the group was surprised that the anniversary cookies appeared exactly then - in 1913.

The author's route ended at the Kutafya Tower, and the students went to the concert, leaving behind vivid memories of their walk around Moscow.

You can also book a tour "Heart of the capital" and others.

  9. Anastasia, good morning!
    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. 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«

  18. Good day to all! I would like to share my impressions of the excursion "Journey to Christmas". Our guide was Anastasia. So! 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.

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.

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

The excursion bureau "Radius" offers fascinating cultural and historical tours of Moscow. We organize interesting excursions for students, including walks around Red Square and the Alexander Garden. Our guides are stylish professionals who provide a lively and fascinating excursion accompaniment, avoiding cliches and memorized texts.

For educational institutions, we offer a wide range of excursions: from school to student programs. For example, a tour on a Sprinter minibus around Moscow will be an excellent solution for high school and university students, allowing them to delve deeper into the history of the city.

We are proud that our excursion services attract not only private clients, but also corporate customers, such as Yandex and Russian Railways. We also offer gift certificates for excursions, which can be an original gift for your loved ones. Examples of excursions and photos from them can be seen on our website.
