Super tour Elena gave us a private tour. Full of real life insight humour and facts. Absolutely wonderful experience and we enjoyed her company. Great information about the 17 and 19 revolution and explained how the communists communicated and how Moscow , Russia and USSR were ‘transformed under the Communist regime before the fall in 1990s. If you visit Moscow, take this tour

In the sky First, a special thank to our so friendly guide. The best experience to discover the very high level of military secured access. On the top, the view can be fantastic. Unfortunately it was snowing. Anyway a great discovery. Especially to be on a glass of 8mm thickness at 340 m high. We highly recommand the resto 7Sky. Very good quality of food and friendly staff.

Excellent tour Excellent informative tour - the tour guide (sorry I can’t recall her name) was very knowledgable, funny and provided a balanced overview of Russia’s communist history. I unfortunately could only stay for half the tour due to having tickets to the ballet but considered missing the start of the ballet so I could stay until the end it was that good - highly recommend!

2.5 hour free walking tour in Moscow center A tour offering a really fantastic introduction to Moscow! Irina was a wonderful guide to our group of over a dozen people, keeping us entertained and warm with a couple indoor stops (on a cold December day). We appreciated her sense of humor and personal stories which allowed us to better understand the culture. We made a few stops on the tour which we otherwise would not have visited. Thank you for a great tour Irina!

Amazingly interesting tour with knowledgeable guide I joined the free walking tour in the morning (RECOMMENDED) with Nik, and he turned out to be our guide for the communist walking tour in the afternoon as well. What a knowledgeable young man! I’ve learned so much about the history of both Moscow and Russia in general in the few hours he led us across town. Definitely join the tour if you’d like to know more about the city you’re visiting!

about Moscow metro tour 1, the email sent to me on time and they described the meeting point very clearly. Thanks. Even the front building is under fixing, they take a very clear photo to let me make sure that's it. 会让你觉得贴心的邮件提醒。 克林姆林宫正在装修,正面围起来了,tour email还专门告诉我围起来的样子并附上了照片。 2, very friendly tour person, a lady, speak very good english. 导游英语很好。谈吐清晰。负责任。 3, the 5 or 6 metro stations they recommended are amazing. 她们选择的地铁站都很美。值得一一领略。

Excellent and informative afternoon exploring the Moscow Metro We really enjoyed our tour of the Moscow Metro. Our guide Anna was friendly, very knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. We had visited the Metro many times before, but she pointed out lots of interesting details that we had missed previously or were simply unaware of. Time well spent, we learned a lot and will certainly be taking another tour by Moscow Walking Tours next time during our visit.

Communist Moscow Evening Walking Tour I really, really enjoyed this walk. Our guide was knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and engaging. She gave me an insight into political, economic and social life in Moscow through her succinct narrative, humour and real life anecdotes, illustrated by pictures and descriptions of the places visited on the walk. A truly valuable addition to my visit to Moscow. Highly recommend!

Must See Metro We were amazed by the Moscow metro system! It is beautiful, clean, efficient (trains come every few minutes) and the stations are museum worthy. Our guide spoke perfect English and was very informative about the history of the metro system and how it works. She helpful us understand how to use it and was provided great information on the 8 stations we visited. A must do tour for anyone visiting Moscow.

Utopian Soviet Buildings

The first tour with Virtual Reality experience. You will take a walk through the center of the city: Red square and around the Kremlin walls. Through the VR glasses you will see the most prominent utopian projects of the XXth century. With our best guides you will discover the Russian capital as it would look like if some of the audacious architectural dreams had come true.

What you will see through the VR glasses:

  • The Palace of the Soviets instead of the Cathedral of the Christ the Saviour. It could have become one of the highest buildings in the world with a 100 m Lenin statue on the top.
  • The eighth Stalinist skyscraper instead of the Zaryadye Park. It was supposed to be the tallest of all the Sisters.
  • The Narkomtiazhprom (the People’s Commissariat of Heavy Industry) building instead of the GUM. How would the Red Square look like with three skyscrapers or gigantic staircases going all the way up to the 16th floor?
  • The Palace of Labour instead of the Moskva Hotel. What was it, kind of a fantastic beast lying on the square or an ultimate Constructivist manifesto?
  • The alternative Lenin’s Mausoleum, the “Leningradskaya Pravda” buildings and many others.
