The other day we were introduced to dens of vice True connoisseurs and experts in the field. The tour started on Monday at 1:00 PM. Upon receiving the application, a reasonable question initially arose: who were these enthusiasts who decided to explore drinking traditions during such an unpopular time of year? During the tour, it became clear that the group came from the bar world, and "Museum Monday" is a time of leisure for those who toil behind the bar nonstop through the weekend. As a result, the bar friends ended up with a tour-and-drink team building event. A smart decision on their part — nothing brings a team together more effectively t… Read more...

An axiom of the tour guide's craft is that any self-respecting tour guide, and one who respects their audience, should never stunt their development. Our agency has long had a tradition of group walks along our signature tour paths. During these meetings, knowledge and experience are exchanged, horizons are broadened, and dynamic changes in the city are captured. It's helpful for guides to meet periodically, compare route maps, maintain their individual style of presenting information, and come to a common understanding of the thematic content of the tours. Recently, our diligent five regular tour guides—Anton, Alexey, Anastasia, Elena, and Valeria—took a collective walk through alleys and courtyards in the Arbat areaT… 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.
