I was born and raised in Soviet Union, but my family was not. I wanted to show them the country where I was born, and its capital - Moscow. I made great choice - Nikita and Katya! The limited space does not allow me to mention all the advantages of these awesome guides, but here are some of them: 1. Excellent English. Absolutely no problem with communication, rich vocabulary, nice two way conversation. 2. Excellent knowledge of the city. The first day we went according to our guides plans. We heard a lot of interesting stories about the old and recent history of Moscow Central area and Russia in general. 3. Perfect flexibility. They had in mind a certain plan for the second and the third day, but I asked to change it, and mentioned what I would like to see. Without missing a beat the new plan was created, and our guide Katya was as knowledgeable as if she prepared that dayly tour in advance. 4. All tours were interesting, all were accompanied by illustrations and pictures (on the mobile devices) what was here before (before Soviet time - during Soviet time), and "Look how great is it now!" 5. You have your time in the afternoon. Our guides usually left us at about 3-4 pm, so we were able to see things by ourselves, do some shopping, etc. I highly recommend these guys to anyone that wants to have a good idea what Moscow is today, and what was it before. They are true representatives of the New Russia. By the way, have good and comfortable walking shoes. More than 20.000 steps a day!
