Thoughts on Chekhov and Shakespeare after a photo with Sophia Loren
Radius does not have tours of Chekhov's Moscow, much less Shakespeare's Moscow. But today, seeing a photograph of Sophia Loren on Anton Pavlovich's grave, I had the idea to compare the works of these two pillars of world drama. In general, the world popularity rating of playwrights looks something like this: William Shakespeare Anton Chekhov (it is unusual to write his name without a patronymic) Moliere is a French playwright of the 17th century, whose…

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.
