People contact us for a holiday excursion. For example, take a walk with a guide or ride in a minivan or minibus from the designated place to the restaurant where the celebration will take place. Or, let’s say, help you spend an educational date with your loved one on his birthday from a cafe to a theater... We are also ready to hold one of more than 25 of our thematic excursions for your guests... There are many variations. In any case, the guide will capture the attention of tourists with a non-trivial story about the history, culture and life of the area under review, its inhabitants in the past and present, and will reveal the designated topic, being in continuous and individual contact with you.
Excursion to a holiday, celebration in Moscow
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...

Excursion to a wedding. Twice
Guide Egor takes a tour to a wedding
Wedding tours are often requested. This Saturday, we had two wedding tours: a sightseeing tour by minibus for 12 people and a dream route, a customized tour for 25 people. Both started at the registry offices and ended at restaurants. We decided to add a twist to the sightseeing tour by minibus with a standard route, and the guide alternated between explaining the sights and singing to the guests, using a harmonica and guitar. The client was notified in advance, and they promised to sing along. The second tour was more moderate. Read more...

Hen-party. Alcohol excursion... and a cheerful man guide
This Saturday, we had two bachelorette party excursions going on at the same time. One group chose the "Master and Margarita" route, the other the "Sinner Haunts" (the bar-hopping version). We booked both excursions carefully, taking great care not only in choosing the custom itineraries but also in selecting the guides. However, we didn't have to do any serious planning—the routes were ready-made. In both cases, we requested young, charismatic, and cheerful male guides. 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...

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 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 one is a journey through the city's secrets with a personal guide. Treat yourself to an excursion for a holiday, celebration or any event to discover new facets of Moscow.
