Vile places. An excursion that smoothly turned into a birthday celebration

 • Tags: , ,

Friday evening. A young man calls: "Hello. It's my birthday tomorrow. We want to celebrate with the guys, a group of 10-15 people. But we don't want it to be just a celebration with alcohol, but intelligent, fun and meaningful. What can you offer and organize?"

The excursion "Sinister Places" immediately comes to mind, during which a group of tourists are taken to drinking establishments or restaurants - whichever is closer to them. We offer this option to the customer. He approves.

We ask which of our guides specializing in this route is available at the specified time. We send the customer his contact to discuss all the details and understand whether our views on conducting this excursion coincide. We announce the cost.

The customer had a lot of ideas regarding the route. It was not possible to implement them all due to the fact that there was less than a day left before the excursion, and the guide may not have had time to fully develop a new, interesting alcoholic route. Therefore, we took into account all the wishes to the maximum and enchantingly carried out the requested excursion based on the already existing route.

The guests liked everything so much that after the individual tour and bar crawls, they asked the guide to join them in further celebrating the customer's birthday at the restaurant. And after the restaurant, the whole crowd went to one of the prestigious and atmospheric clubs in the center of Moscow.

Some of the excursionists turned out to be history buffs and experts: during breaks between dances, they discussed certain historical facts with the guide. At other times, everyone was just relaxing, opening champagne on the dance floor, exchanging contacts...

More details about the walking route can be found here: “Great places” - an alcoholic excursion with tasting in Moscow.

We try to take into account all requests for establishments and bars visited during the author's route. If your request differs radically from the stated route, it is better to inform it in advance (at least a few days in advance) so that there is the greatest chance of having time to prepare it. The option of this excursion without alcohol and visiting drinking establishments is also possible.

There are also cases when guests simply express approximate priorities for establishments, and the guide selects something at his own discretion, or provides several options to choose from in advance.

We are waiting for your applications! Please note that in the case of developing an individual route, 2000 rubles will be added to the standard cost.

You can also book the tour «Customizable dream excursion» and other tours.

  1. On July 18th, we participated in the "Soul of Moscow" group tour led by Alexander. Kitay-gorod and its surroundings revealed a new side to us, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of us began intensively studying related materials to broaden our horizons. We'll be back, and we highly recommend it! You won't regret it.

  2. Good afternoon, on June 23rd we had a tour called " The Soul of Moscow ," led by Alexander. He's a very pleasant young man. We visited such lovely courtyards and alleys with him that we never even knew existed, and we learned so much. We really enjoyed everything, and we hope to continue our acquaintance. Alexander! Thank you! We had a great time with you, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. See you there!

  3. This isn't my first time with Radius. This time, I took the Moscow metro . The goal was not only to admire the underground palaces but also to learn how to navigate the metro. As a resident of a region without a metro, I was a bit apprehensive and didn't understand how to navigate the metro. Of course, the internet helps, but live communication is much better. Tour guide Yulia handled this task perfectly. The information was accessible and interesting, the presentation was calm, and the communication style was very friendly. Thank you very much for the tour and the practical experience.

  4. Good afternoon! I gave the "Soul of Moscow" tour to some of the capital's guests. We were thrilled to hear our guide, Anton. It was so informative and engaging, and very warm. To say we were absolutely delighted is an understatement. It turned out to be a truly family-friendly excursion. We learned so many interesting facts. The material was presented professionally, all our questions were answered, and we saw so much. It was simply WOW! Thank you so much, Anton, he's the best!!!!! From now on, I'll only come to you, the Radius team. I highly recommend it. I promise we'll see each other again soon on other tours.

  5. Overall, the tour left a positive impression! Thanks to Alexander for the walk through the courtyards and atmospheric spots of Kitay-Gorod; we certainly wouldn't have done it on our own. The tour was comfortable, and the guide spoke confidently and calmly. One thing we personally missed: we would have liked more of the historical part, relating to ancient Moscow and the history of Kitay-Gorod. There were quite a few stories about the Soviet period and the bar scene, but for our group, this wasn't particularly relevant. We think the program could be a little 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.

  6. Hello! 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 history and is delighted to share his knowledge and create an unforgettable experience. Everything went well. I highly recommend it!

  15. Anastasia, good morning! Thank you and Masha for yesterday! The speakers are happy. The connection through the headphones was often lost, especially at the checkpoint, but that's just our current situation. You could hear if you were standing close, no more than 1.5 meters away. Colleagues have already asked for your contact information. I'd be happy to share it and look forward to another opportunity to work with you. Special thanks to the Director for the Bureau . Note: " Heart of the Capital " tour for participants of the 2025 Moscow Oncology Forum. Guides: Anastasia and Maria.

  17. Good afternoon, thank you so much, Anastasia. The " Uncle Gilyai " tour was fantastic. Even though we're Muscovites and know a lot about Moscow, the experience was amazing, so much new and interesting happened. We'll definitely be back.

He's a great storyteller, intelligent, well-read, and captivating. You've truly opened up my Moscow to me! I'll definitely be back next summer to explore Moscow with you. I'll recommend your wonderful tour program to all my friends!

  19. Excursions with the Radius travel agency are always a positive experience if you choose them. We planned a tour of Zamoskvorechye on our next visit. We've worked with our guide, Anton, before. We'll definitely recommend him to everyone we know. The tour is informative, not overloaded with dates, and the information is comprehensive yet easy to understand, as it's presented in a light, narrative manner, not like a history textbook, dry and academic. Thank you for this approach. We'll definitely use the Radius agency again on our next visit to Moscow.

  21. A huge thank you to Anastasia. We had a fantastic tour of the Patriki district. We learned so much. Anastasia is a true master of her craft. The tour was captivating, not at all boring, lively and interesting. Everyone was delighted. We were full of new impressions. I definitely recommend it. You won't be disappointed!

  22. We explored the Soul of Moscow with my family and Radius on my birthday. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the walk! Anton shared so many interesting facts about the capital and its history, taking us into spiritual depths no one else had even suspected. Most of us were either born or longtime Moscow residents who spent a lot of time walking around. It was educational, heartwarming, and unforgettable. 🙂 Overall, this wasn't my first time walking around Moscow with Anton, and each time was a real adventure!

  23. Anastasia, good afternoon! I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful tour on Saturday — we absolutely loved the walk, the information, and the conversations with you. We spent a long time afterwards discussing what stood out and what struck us. It seems like you've lived in Moscow your whole life, and we studied Moscow studies in school, but it turns out there's so much you still don't know! Overall, thank you so much; my mom said it was the best birthday present ever! Note: This is about the " Soul of Moscow " tour.

  24. 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!

How much more expensive are personal tours than mass tours?

If you are traveling alone or with a partner, a few thousand for a walking tour or twenty thousand for a car tour can be a significant amount.

However, if you decide to spend the day with family or friends, the cost for each participant is reduced to one or two thousand - this is almost the same as the cost of a mass group excursion.

For a group of 8 people or more, the price becomes even lower per person, which makes an individual excursion attractive.

***
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 fascinating cultural and historical tours of Moscow in several languages. We organize excursions for individuals and corporate clients, including Yandex and Faberlic, providing sample excursions and gift certificates. Our stylish guides with lively speech are ready to accompany you on foot, by car or by the Radisson Royal ship.

People choose us for the opportunity to organize excursions for holidays and celebrations. We offer fun excursions to Moscow bars with tastings, as well as individual routes at your request. Our excursions become an original gift, and photos from excursions leave pleasant memories.
