Excursions for the family. Individual family tour of Moscow

Our excursions are mainly shown to adults and high school students, since these routes are cultural and historical rather than entertaining. However, we constantly organize excursions for families with children of different ages, and our guides adapt the “adult” material so that it is interesting for younger participants as well. Moreover, some guides like to conduct excursions for children almost more than for adults.

We believe that the most obvious routes for children are walking tour “Ghostbusters” And Sightseeing tour by car.

Tour guide Maria gave guests an eight-hour guided tour of Moscow just in time for Christmas. The group began at the home of a family from Ivanovo. The group included a mother, father, adult daughter, an eight-year-old boy, and grandmother. Their journey began with a visit to the Kremlin's Cathedral Square, where they had reserved tickets in advance. Within the Kremlin, the participants explored its main attractions. The guide described the Palace of Congresses, the Assumption, Archangel, and Annunciation Cathedrals, the Faceted Chamber, the Church of the Deposition of the Robe, the Patriarch's Palace, the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, the Tsar Bell, and the Tsar Cannon. The Kremlin Christmas tree, which the eight-year-old boy particularly enjoyed, was a particular highlight. The group visited the Assumption and Annunciation Cathedrals, where they were captivated by ancient Russian art: icons, iconostasis, and murals. Read more...

Today, a group of tourists from Almaty took a private tour. They were eager to see the most popular, interesting, and historically significant stations of the Moscow Metro in addition to the main sightseeing program by car. First, the guests toured the capital's most important sites by minivan: they traditionally visited Red Square, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, St. Basil's Cathedral, Vorobyovy Gory and the Holy Trinity Church, the Poklonnaya Gora Memorial Complex, and Moscow-City. Then, the group and their guide returned to the center and descended into the Moscow Metro. The first station we visited was Revolution Square, as it could be called a museum of sculptures located directly underground. Stalin himself is known to have approved of these sculptures, saying they were almost lifelike. Read more...

A family from Nizhny Novgorod with two children flew to Moscow by helicopter, and a guide met them at the Reutov Heliport. The helicopter kicked up a snowstorm, making it difficult to film because the snow was blowing in their faces. The couple had flown to Moscow for a few hours individually to visit the exhibition in the "Regions of Russia" pavilion at VDNKh. The daughters had seen an advertisement for the exhibition on TV and were thrilled. The exhibition consisted of two halls. They first saw the North—the guests were interested in Kamchatka because they were planning a trip there. This took about an hour. Then they went to the pavilion housing the Center of Russia. The girls enjoyed it; they participated in various activities and took photos. Overall, it was a family tour of the VDNKh exhibitions, without going into too much detail. Since their youngest daughter, Irina, was tired, they decided to go for lunch. Read more...

Today, Vika from Syzran and her mother, Olga, came on a personalized tour of Moscow. They had a request: to take a photo at the Moscow-City observation deck, see the Senate, where Vladimir Putin sits, and visit Zaryadye Park. The guide made it all happen, and the guests also had a wonderful photo shoot with a professional photographer. So, they focused on locations that offer beautiful photos. The tour participants and the guide also visited the Zaryadye Information Center, where numerous QR codes create a unique backdrop—perfect for photos. They also managed to capture the Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills), even though there were no planned exits there—they decided to pop out for five minutes to take a photo. They ended up with beautiful photos against the backdrop of the Moscow panorama and the main building of Moscow State University. Read more...

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...

The next day, "our foreigners" took a minivan ride to VDNKh, where they were given a sightseeing tour with elements of a culinary tour. The ladies visited "Armenia" and "Eastern Teahouse," learning about the culinary traditions of various cultures. They also visited the "Moscow Model" pavilion. The German family decided to have lunch at "Moscow Sky," a restaurant that markets its cuisine as Soviet. It boasts exquisite interiors, designed in the style of artist Alexander Deineka. Paintings hang on the walls, each one featuring an airplane. After lunch, the group went to the "Smart City" pavilion, where they joined a free 45-minute tour in Russian. They then stopped briefly at the Housing and Utilities Museum. Lidiya Grigoryevna wanted to ride the "Sun of Moscow" Ferris wheel near the Housing and Utilities Museum. Read more...

On Wednesday, the guests had free time from the tours: they spent the day relaxing and shopping, and in the evening they attended a comedy performance. The next day, a minivan took the guests to Kubinka, to the Museum and Temple Complex of the Russian Armed Forces. They visited the main temple of the Armed Forces, strolled around the grounds, and went into the museum, where they picked up audio guides. However, the experience would have been interesting even without them, as the exhibits are superbly organized—everything is very modern. In total, the ladies spent two hours there. Incidentally, there are stands near the museum selling various dishes: shashlik, pancakes, and pelmeni. It was a hot 29°C (83°F), and since the ladies didn't wear hats, they settled down for lunch at a table under a canopy. Afterward, the foreign tourists toured the "Victory Field" exhibit with a guide, where the battle near the village of Akulovo unfolds as if in real time. Read more...

The next day, the German ladies not only rode the car but also the metro, exploring the beautiful stations, and then strolled along Arbat. The guests were impressed by Melnikov's house and liked the Tsoi wall. Next, the group visited the Mausoleum, took photos at the Necropolis along the Kremlin wall, and, after driving, walked through Shmelyovsky Square near the Inspiration fountain to the Tretyakov Gallery. At the gallery, the foreign guests were impressed by the painting "The Appearance of Christ to the People," which, when viewed closely, includes those viewing the canvas—as was originally intended by the artist Ivanov. The young ladies also lingered by Kukirev's "Unequal Marriage" and Kuindzhi's paintings featuring a 3D effect, which the artist created by scratching through layers of paint. Read more...

Her granddaughter, Nicole, is twenty and was born in Germany. This was her first visit to the Russian capital, while her grandmother had previously only been through Moscow. As a result, the young ladies spent several days exploring the city by car with a guide and driver, following a personalized program.

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...

We've often organized wedding tours. Typically, this involves a drive from the registry office to a restaurant. Or, after the restaurant, to romantic locations (like "The Master and Margarita," "Affairs of the Heart"). But this time, the guests requested a family sightseeing tour in the agency's car. The group was small, consisting of the parents of the bride and groom and one other relative. All the participants turned out to be creative and successful people: the bride's father, for example, works as an organizer for Yuri Bashmet, and the groom's father is a performance organizer for Vladimir Spivakov's orchestra. They were all very welcoming, interesting, and well-traveled. Since both were native Muscovites, the standard locations weren't suitable. Read more...

On a beautiful June day, we gave a private tour of the very heart of Moscow to a family abroad. The Russian mother, German father, and their little daughter thoroughly enjoyed exploring the city's sights under the attentive guidance of our guide. In Germany, the family lives in a small village with only a few houses. The parents once owned a farm, but now only a few residents remain. Despite this, the guests were welcoming, inquisitive, and open to learning about Moscow's culture, architecture, and history. They chose the "Heart of the Capital" route. The tour was conducted in German. They decided to begin the sightseeing tour with St. Basil's Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin. Read more...

A group of six friends joined the "Master and Margarita" tour. Among them were a mother and a small child, aged between 10 and 12, who abandoned the group mid-tour due to heavy rain. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Tour guide Anastasia led the group to the building where Bulgakov lived. There, the participants enthusiastically took photos near the graffiti-covered walls. One participant was particularly enthusiastic about capturing all the picturesque views along the route. When the rain intensified, the group headed to a coffee shop near Patriarch's Ponds, where they enjoyed tea. The atmosphere was cheerful and positive, and even the rain couldn't dampen their spirits. After tea, armed with hot drinks, the group continued along the second part of the fascinating route, concluding their individual walk on Tverskoy Boulevard. Read more...

The group traveled from the Kemerovo Region to visit their daughter and grandchildren who live on Nikolina Gora in the Moscow region. This area is home to a writers' village. Sergei Mikhalkov (the author of the national anthem and father of Nikita Sergeyevich) once had a dacha here. The couple said they have three grandchildren, one of whom had an equestrian competition planned the day before, which significantly impacted their arrival time. The elderly couple hadn't been to Moscow for over 40 years and asked our guide for a private tour of the city's landmarks. A tour of the Kremlin, Alexander Garden, and Red Square quickly refreshed their memories of the capital. During the tour, the group became hungry, which led to lunch at GUM's Festival Café and Gastronom No. 1. Read more...

Have you ever traveled around the city with a small group of friends or family on a vintage double-decker bus? And not just ride along a standard route, but choose your own desired locations, starting and ending points, and stop durations? Our clients, for example, have had this opportunity. Perhaps we can repeat it. We conducted our first private tour of this type this week. After receiving a request for this unusual order, we arranged a time and location with a friend who drives a vintage double-decker bus. We chose a guide experienced with children, as three of the four guests were children of various ages. We quoted the price to the client. We bought tickets for the "Flight over Russia" ride and the funicular on Sparrow Hills (these locations were part of the order). 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.
