Guided Walking Tours Moscow
We offer two walking tours - A 3 hour and a 6 hour.
Three hour orientation walking city tour of central sights of Moscow.
Please note this tour 'views', but does not enter
museums, or monuments as time does not allow this. It is designed as an
orientation tour to both major sites and the public transport system.
This walk is included in the Moscow and St. Petersburg budget stopover and all
Trans Siberian railway trips that include Moscow and St Petersburg packages. The
tour can be added to any other programme.
Description:
Our guide will take you on a personally guided tour of the city center. This is a walking tour, which also uses public transport. You will be shown the magnificent underground stations of the METRO as well as the classics such as Red Square and the Kremlin.
No picture can prepare you for the ancient St.Basil's Cathedral which rises like a fairy tale from the Eastern part of the Red Square, You will also observe the walls of Moscow Kremlin, Alexander Gardens, GUM department store and the red granite mausoleum, which holds Lenin's embalmed body, Manezhnaya Square, Moscow State Duma, and the busy Tverskaya Street. Also included will be the former headquarters of the KGB, Okhotny Ryad prospect, Teatralnaya square, Bolshoi Theater, Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the largest Lenin's library, and the pedestrian Arbat Street.
Our guides work out the best ‘movement’
solution based on what you want to see, the time of day and the condition of the
traffic. Large distances can be covered by the underground in quick time. The
trolley bus system can also be used as they can avoid some of the traffic
problems cars have to endure. Otherwise, walking is the best way to get close to
something of interest. If the guide thinks a ‘taxi’ is the best solution for the
next stage, he or she can flag down an appropriate car and knows the price to
pay for the distance and so avoids the ‘foreigners’ price. You will be expected
to pay for any transport taken when on a walking tour (unless otherwise stated),
but this is a minor amount.
