Walking, by car or by boat
For a first day in Moscow, a good start is the sightseeing tour by car: it covers Red Square, Sparrow Hills, Poklonnaya Hill and Moscow City in one go, with a separate guide and driver. You choose the vehicle — from a Mercedes for two to a coach for 55 people. The Kremlin, the metro and the historic centre are best seen on foot, and museum tours such as the Tretyakov Gallery include entrance tickets. On the river, the Radisson cruise shows the city from the water. A transfer by car to a walking or museum tour can be arranged — ask your manager.

Questions and answers
What is the difference between a private tour and a group tour?
On a private tour only your group is with the guide — your family, friends or colleagues. You set the pace, ask as many questions as you like, and the route can be adjusted for you.
Can I hire a private guide in Moscow for a full day?
Yes. Combine several tours from the table — for example, the Kremlin in the morning and the city tour by car in the afternoon — and your manager will put them into one programme.
Do your guides speak English?
Yes, every tour on this page can be booked in English, and we also find guides for any other language. For less common languages, please book well in advance.
Are the prices per person?
No, every price is for the whole group, in Russian rubles. The price depends on group size and language, and the calculator on each tour page shows the exact amount.
Will the guide pick us up at our hotel?
On tours by car — yes, the car and guide pick you up at your hotel. On walking and museum tours we meet at the start of the route; a hotel meeting can be arranged for an extra fee.
How can we pay if our bank cards are issued abroad?
Foreign cards can’t be used to pay us, so foreign guests pay in cash in rubles. Our courier comes to you before the tour, anywhere in Moscow.
Do you organise tours for business delegations?
