People regularly come to us for a fun excursion for a birthday. The excursion can be a ready-made route from our excursion menu. For example, you can walk around "Vibrant places". Or we can create the itinerary that suits you. For example, it is cultural and educational to take a walk from the metro station to the restaurant.
Birthday excursion around Moscow
It's midweek, and a call arrives. A mortgage broker, who also happens to be celebrating his birthday, asks us to lead him on a "Hot Spots" tour this coming Friday evening. His friends gave him a certificate for this fun, alcoholic bar crawl. With certificates, the recipient only needs to name a convenient date and time for the tour and get our guide's contact information. Sometimes, all the guides offering a particular tour are booked on the requested date and time. In such cases, we offer clients alternatives: either a different day/time, or even a different route.

It's midweek, and we get a call: "Good afternoon. We're planning a birthday celebration this weekend. But the usual options are no longer appealing—we'd like to book a tour. Something fun, if possible." We accept the request and offer a bar crawl. We begin preparations. One of the clients' requests was a list of bars along the route. Since the route is generally the same, but each guide has their own individual establishments, we first select an available guide and receive a deposit from the client. Read more...

Vile places. An excursion that smoothly turned into a birthday celebration
It's Friday evening. A young man calls: "Hello. It's my birthday tomorrow. We'd like to celebrate with a group of 10-15 people. We want it to be more than just a drinking party, but something intelligent, fun, and meaningful. What can you suggest and organize?" The first thing that comes to mind is a tour called "Sweet Spots," where a group of tourists are taken to bars or restaurants—whatever suits them best. We suggest this option to the client. He approves. We ask which of our guides, who specialize in this route, is available at the requested time. Read more...

The holidays are a time for gift certificates. Our most popular gift certificates for excursions are the "choose your own" ones. However, sometimes customers know exactly what kind of excursion they'd like their recipients to take. One of the certificates ordered on December 21st was "Hot Spots." The adult children ordered it for their parents as a gift. The certificate is valid for five months. But in today's world, it's sometimes hard to guess when you'll be able to attend an excursion.

How much more expensive are personal tours than mass tours?
If you are alone or in pairs, then the amount is several thousand for a walking route around the city or twenty thousand for excursion around Moscow by car - it's noticeable.
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.
