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!

Private Walking Tour of Kremlin With Ekaterina.

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.

Inside the Kremlin Walls

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.
