Corporate excursions around Moscow. On foot and by transport

We organized a weekend excursion for SFT Group, a company the agency has been working with for several years. SFT Group commissions this series of itineraries from us year after year, and the 2025 excursion plan also included a number of walks: Patriki, Zamoskvorechye, Presnya, Khamovniki, and Preobrazhenka. On this program, Maria led the tour of Basmanny and Vorobyovy Gory. And on December 13, the group also planned a "Sultry Places" tour. Some of the participants on the Basmannaya excursion had been to the area before, but they knew little about Basmanny in general, so the guide's explanation was a major revelation for many. Along the route, the guests saw the many places and interesting buildings hidden between Novaya and Staraya Basmannaya. Read more...

Thursday morning began with a fascinating tour for employees of Talant, a company actively expanding into the Moscow real estate market. Our guide took the group on a tour of the Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy to immerse them in the country's national character and history. The tour began at the Monument to the Conquerors of Space, where the importance of teamwork was emphasized. The guide led the participants through the main entrance to the central part of the exhibition, where the influence of art on modern life was discussed, using the example of a cable car inspired by the TV series "Guests from the Future." Continuing the tour, the group reached Kolkhoz Square, where the concept behind the exhibition's layout, implemented back in the 1930s, was revealed. Read more...

A group of cellists were in for a personal Moscow discovery, and our guide was delighted to introduce them to a new itinerary. This customized tour was specially designed and organized for a delegation from various regions, including Kazakhstan. Guests were met at the Helikon Opera and led on a fascinating journey through Moscow's streets. The tour began with a talk about Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street and the buildings housing the Helikon Opera, built on the site of an old estate. The guide then led the participants to the Mayakovsky Theater, where they learned about its architect, Fyodor Ospovich Shekhtel, and the history of the theater, which once embodied the revolutionary spirit of Bolshevik propaganda. A special place on the tour was given to the Moscow State Conservatory, with which our guide has personal memories. Read more...

In Moscow, even excursions for teachers turn into personal adventures! On March 29, delegations of historians from across the country and even abroad—Armenia, Kazakhstan, Minsk, Belarus, and Transnistria—gathered for the excursion. They had arrived for a training course but were eager to explore the streets of the capital. Tired of a busy schedule, the teachers were eager for a new experience, and we were happy to provide them with that opportunity. Our six guides met the groups at three buses. One guide joined each bus, and the six groups set off on a journey through the heart of the city. The standard route began in the Alexander Garden and Manezhnaya Square, where the guides showed the guests the grotto, the riding school, and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Read more...

Bulgakov and Mayakovsky are two antipodes in Soviet literature. A writer and a poet, they created works that reflect different aspects of the era.

We're sharing the story of a unique series of signature tours for Faberlic. This captivating story began in July, when guide Anastasia led a private tour called "The Soul of Moscow" for a man and his daughter. This extraordinary journey was so impressive that, to his surprise, the man, who turned out to be the director of Faberlic, decided to organize a series of corporate tours for employees. And so it began! At the end of July, the first city tour, "Bypass," began, under the sensitive guidance of guide Anton. The participants' impressions exceeded all expectations. It was followed by a walk called "The Master and Margarita," this time in the company of our guide, Anastasia. The adventure began at the Mayakovsky monument, which raised many questions among the participants, as the tour's theme was Bulgakov. Read more...

Guide Anastasia led a tour for the employees of a private multidisciplinary clinic located near Petrovka Street. The clinic's director decided to organize the excursion so that the staff, who have worked in this historic district for over ten years, could finally learn more about the area's history. The purpose of the event was twofold: not only to learn about the rich history but also to organize a small corporate event with plenty of photos. Eleven employees attended the tour, and the chosen route was quite successful. The clinic's office is surrounded by numerous architectural landmarks that provide insight into the city's architectural development. Within a few minutes' walk, one can see classicism, modernism, and constructivism. The proximity of the Garden and Boulevard Rings facilitated a vivid discussion of Moscow's development.

Today, employees of the international pharmaceutical company Sanofi, headquartered in Paris and operating in over 100 countries, walked along the "Master and Margarita" tour route. There were about 100 people in total, divided into four groups. Each group had its own guide: Elena, Anastasia, Valeria, and Dmitry, who communicated with the guests via radio guides—tour radio headphones. At the request of the client, Maslov, a leading event agency, the start of the tour was moved to the client's office so that the tour participants, with time intervals between groups, would start directly from their work. First, we took a short stroll past the Satire Theater on Triumfalnaya Square and the Aquarium Garden—the site of Bulgakov's fictional Variety Theater. Read more...
