The easiest option for a river excursion is to rent a guide for 2.5 hours and buy a ticket on the Radisson motor ship for yourself and the guide. In this case, you will receive an inexpensive, shortened sightseeing tour along the Moscow River in comfortable conditions. There is a bar on the ship that plays pleasant music. The cost of such a walk: from 9400 rubles. We can also rent a boat or yacht for a river trip (10-20 times more expensive than a trip on a Radisson).
The next day, we planned a family trip to Tsaritsyno and a cruise on the Radisson yacht. The guests arrived in Tsaritsyno by minivan, giving them only 50 minutes, so we took an electric car, where the tour continued, this time with a recorded narrator explaining the park and the sights we passed. The park and palace were very picturesque. At the top, the guide took photos of the guests. As we descended the mountain, we passed a musical fountain. We spotted various wildlife in the park: tame squirrels and ruddy shelducks—orange ducks that live in the zoo during the cold season and migrate to various city parks in the spring and summer. Then the young ladies went for a yacht ride, the highlight of their private excursion. Read more...

Our excursion guests, a beautiful young couple named Yulia and Alexander, were married in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and have been married for over ten years. Their son, Misha, is five. They decided to start their day of sightseeing in Moscow with a private boat ride on a small six-seater boat. They departed from Nagatinsky Zaton, where there's a beautiful metro station decorated with mosaic images of fish. Each fish contains an Easter egg—a unique feature that stands out from the crowd of mosaic cubes. For example, one of the fish contains a shell with a pearl inside. The excursion began near the residence of Alexei Mikhailovich Romanov, from where the boat quickly reached the city center. Passing by historical sites, the captain slowed down. The guests and tour guide reached Luzhniki, then the boat turned around and headed back. Read more...

Excursion on the Radisson ship for doctors and medical workers
Last week, one of our guides, Egor, led a tour that wasn't quite our usual. The clients wanted a guide who not only had knowledge of Moscow's history and architecture, but also played a musical instrument, was able to moderate events, and host entertaining quizzes. Radius has such guides, too. We received a request for a tour for 50 doctors and medical workers about a week before the date. We agreed on the scenario and budget with the client. We received payment and sent the guide's contact information. Egor, an experienced, accredited, multilingual tour guide and a skilled musician, arrived at the Radisson pier at the appointed time, fully equipped with a speaker, microphone, guitar, and harmonica, and filled the corporate medical room.

Excursion on a private yacht along the Moscow River
Excursion for a family on a yacht along the Moscow River
It's a sultry July evening. We receive a request for tomorrow: a friendly family with their own small yacht is planning an organized trip along the Moscow River. They request a personal guide who can tell them about the buildings and monuments they encounter along the way, and about the city's history in general. Something interesting, not trivial. We find an available guide who doesn't get seasick. We inform the guide that the private tour will last 5 hours. However, since the one-way trip will take 2.5 hours, and the other 2.5 hours will be spent visiting previously covered landmarks, the latter part of the trip will probably be spent simply enjoying the scenery. The client has indicated that a narration will not be required on the return trip. At the appointed time, the guide arrives at the pier near Moscow City and boards the specified yacht. Read more...

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.
