Tours in Moscow |
Walking Tours
Private guides can be hired through the major hotels. There are always individuals in the Red Square/Kremlin area, who will offer to act as a guide for a fee - visitors should negotiate this before setting off. Moscow City Excursion Bureau (tel: (495) 739 1391 or 746 1448) organises various walking and bus excursions taking in the Red Square, China Town, Novodevichy Monastery, Vagankovskiy Necropolis and Novy Arbat.
Bus Tours
Astravel, (tel: (495) 926 8700), offers 4-hour city sightseeing tours, taking in St Basil's Cathedral, the Vorobyovy Hills and Moscow State University. The cost of the tour varies depending on how many people take part. Bus tours can also be readily arranged through hotels and incoming tour operators.
Boat Tours
One of the more pleasant ways to see the city is to take a boat trip on the Moskva River. Cruises leave half hourly from a number of landing points in the city centre and last for 90 minutes. Good starting points are Kievskaya, near the Metro station, the Radisson Slavjanskya Hotel and the Borodinsky Bridge (the city's oldest, built in 1912). Cruises can generally be booked through hotels or by contacting Visit Russia (tel: (495) 626 0391; website: www.visitrussia.com) who organise a range of tours.
