About this activity

Your personal guide will pick you up at your place of stay and provide a brief history of Russia as you enter the Kremlin and go by the Soviet-era State Kremlin Palace. Continue to Cathedral square passing marvels of truly Russian magnitude – Tsar Cannon and Tsar Bell.

The Cathedral Square is considered by many to be the cradle of the Russian empire. Visit the Assumption Cathedral where czars coronations took place and see the ancient frescoes in Annunciation Cathedral.

Head to the Armory Chamber - one of Moscow’s oldest museums. Admire the exquisite carriages of Elizabeth I and Catherine the Great, the swords of the liberators of Moscow - Minin and Pozharsky and the legendary Monomakh Cap (hat). Marvel at artifacts of royal regalia including the ivory throne of Ivan the Terrible and renowned Faberge Eggs.

Proceed to the Diamond Fund - a unique collection of jewelry and natural gems of the Russian Imperial Treasury. See the most notable parts of the collection including the Imperial Crown of Russia used in the coronation of Russian Czars, Orlov and Shah diamonds and other royal insignia.

Had a wonderful tour of the above and on all levels it exceeded our expectations. Ekaterina was our guide...she was knowledgeable, fun and exercised skill in getting into places that were less busy at the time. We had a brilliant day, thanks to Ekaterina. Viator was easy to book on line and hassle free, will certainly use again!

Choosing a private tour was a great idea. Our guide Ekaterina not only gave us a brilliant tour with lots of information about the Kremlin and Russian history, but also chatted about living in Moscow. For my husband and son and I, we felt like we were visiting with a friend and really enjoyed a marvellous time - even though it rained the whole time. As Scots, the rain wasn’t a problem and the friendly, helpful personality of Ekaterina made us feel welcome and at home. Excellent job Ekaterina ! The Spalding family, Scotland.

A truly outstanding tour with a consummate professional guide who was knowledgeable, courteous and made this the highlight of our visit to Moscow!! Oleg met us at the hotel and we quickly bonded while headed to the Metro. His energy, enthusiasm and love for his country was most evident and he shared interesting facts about everything we saw. We were met by someone near the ticket office who had already purchased our tickets which saved considerable time. We walked through Cathedral Square and visited several churches then headed to the Armory/ Treasury where Oleg ensured we saw every hall. He pointed out the highlights and while not rushing us through the exhibits. This personal tour by Oleg sure beat the herd mentality of a large group. We enjoyed Red Square, Alexandria's Garden and the Kremlin and gained an appreciation for the country, its history and culture as a direct result of Oleg's knowledge. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone and hopefully who will be blessed to have Oleg as your guide.

Oleg was an excellent guide, friendly, easy to understand and knowledgeable. He took care to cater to our wishes (as we had been to the Kremlin previously but missed the armory on that occasion). We saw all the highlight of the Kremlin, and we (couple) were very satisfied with what we saw in the time available. He conducted the tour at our pace, and went out of his way to enhance our visit as much as possible. We enjoyed very much lunch with Oleg and he even helped us afterwards to locate a suitable store for some shopping to take home to friends. Highly recommended tour and guide. Thanks!

Oleg was fantastic. We moved at a great pace that he adjusted to my wants, and we covered an amazing amount of the city. Not only knowledgeable about the sites, he also showed me local spots that I would have never found on my own. He stayed in touch throughout my entire time in Russia and made sure I enjoyed the entire trip, not just my tour. As for the tour, the expedited access to sites is great, and I had a 1:1 tour, which can't be more personalized. Cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Made me feel so welcome and local to the city.
