Ostankino is a historical district of Moscow where cultural heritage and modern technologies meet. The famous Ostankino Palace of the Sheremetevs and the Ostankino TV Tower, a symbol of Russia's scientific and technological progress, are located here. Unfortunately, we do not offer exciting excursions on a regular basis that will tell you about the noble life of the 18th century and surprise you with views from a bird's eye view. But sometimes we conduct personal walks around VDNKh and climb the TV tower with excursionists by special request.

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.
