We have extensive experience in conducting excursions around Moscow for journalists and bloggers. As a rule, these are individual routes with the goal of “making you fall in love with Moscow” or simply telling a great story about a region or a topic for a specific event. For example, for the opening of a new brand store.
Excursions for journalists and bloggers around Moscow
Anton gave Garrett Johnston a personal tour of Moscow. This Russian-speaking Irishman, a renowned business strategist, was a guest on a private tour of the Prechistenka and Ostozhenka districts. Anton, who had enjoyed Garrett's interviews many times, was delighted to meet him in person. Incidentally, Garrett had been approached by Donstroy, whose employees we had recently organized a series of tours for, and the expert himself had reached out to us to better understand the historical and cultural context of Moscow's elite neighborhoods. Although Donstroy was not an intermediary this time, the company's influence was still significant. After completing the walking tour, Garrett headed to the Donstroy sales office to meet Olga, a friend of our guide, and Anton sent her his regards. Read more...

In early November 2022, the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, located on Red Square, was unveiled after restoration. The Ivanovo branch of the Russian Geographical Society, which was involved in the unveiling of this monument, commissioned a tour for its staff and students to commemorate the event. The guide was to meet the group at Vasilievsky Spusk at the designated time. Then, for an hour, they would share the most interesting and important moments related to the heroic deeds of Minin and Pozharsky, the monument itself, and highlights of nearby attractions. We confirmed the number of participants with the clients and quoted a price. Our artistic director, Anton Latynin, was chosen as the guide. On the designated day and time, the guide was waiting for the group at Red Square. Read more...

Excursion “Great Places” for bloggers “Men at the Stove”
Not long ago, our artistic director, Anton Latynin, led a tour along the "Sweet Spots" route for the bloggers "Men at the Stove." The "men" themselves suggested collaborating, as they liked our website and especially liked the fact that the agency offered a tour with a culinary theme. The result of this creative collaboration is already available on YouTube. The route in the program is slightly different from the usual, but overall, all standards are met. We offer this private tour to clients who request "something unusual," "something with a tasting," or "something fun." Guests can arrange their own tasting on-site, based on the guide's recommendation or their own taste buds. Suggestions for establishments along the route are taken into account. Read more...

In March, Mosgortur contractors approached us with a request to conduct a tour for journalists from Saratov. These journalists were from the tourism industry. Our goal was to make them fall in love with Moscow. Here's a brief tour organization. We discussed all the details with the client, including the cost, and on May 28th, the group arrived on the designated route. We were required to lead the tour in a minibus from point to point. From the train station to the hotel, from the hotel to the Depot for breakfast, from the Depot to VDNKh, and from VDNKh to the Youth Palace. Along the way, we made them fall in love with the city—that's our job! The guests and the client were delighted, and we are now discussing long-term collaboration to conduct similar tours for future groups of journalists and bloggers from other cities. Read more...

UNIQLO opening on Novy Arbat
Organizing a tour for the opening of a UNIQLO store on Arbat
A major event agency, RSVP, approached us about the opening of a store for a famous brand. The challenge. Develop a mini-tour of Novy Arbat near the new UNIQLO store for fashion journalists. 5 tours, 20 minutes each, for 5 people, with a 2-hour interval. Each tour should be filled with interesting information about architecture, fashion, and culture. Solution. We developed a scenario: Meeting place "Prague." The restaurant is like a miniature Arbat: a favorite meeting place of the Silver Age elite (1900-1910); a model canteen of Mosselprom (1920s); a closed dining room for NKVD officers (1930-50s); a model restaurant of the Union (1960-80s); Telman Ismailov's business (1990-2000s)... The search for a new life and grandiose plans: the largest food court in Moscow. 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.
***
A mass excursion is tourism, an individual excursion is a journey through the city’s secrets with a personal guide.
