Moscow Kremlin: Tours & Tickets

So for anyone visiting Moscow, the Kremlin is a place you might have thought wouldn't be accessible but it is. Infact it's a must see on your visit. This tour will start off beside Red Square and the guide will bring you into Red Square and then down to the Garden built by a former Tsar. Its great value for money. You get to hear information that you won't get from a map or book. Plus the guide will have your tickets ready so you don't have to join the ticket queue. You'll only have to join the security check queue which moves quickly. So to summarise, this tour is good value for money. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Its well worth booking. The Kremlin has the wow factor.

My guide, a charming Moscovite, was very well versed in the Kremlins history and made the visit into a fascinating afternoon. Though the tour was meant to be 4 hours it was nearer to three which was fine for me as we had covered everything within that time frame. I actually ended up in a one on one situation as no one else had booked for a tour in English the day I visited on 15th July. The Kremlin is well worth a visit though I had to come back the next day to visit the Armoury as it was not included in the somewhat expensive tour that I enrolled for.

The Kreml Tour is a highlight of every visit in Moscow. With this tour, you bypass the lines and directly enter. The tour is two hours, introduces you to the most important tsars in Russian history as well as the more recent past including the time of the Soviet Union. I especially liked with our guide how well she put everything in context, meaning that she embedded every fact within the whole history. Also, the introduction in Russian Orthodox iconoclastics was interesting. All in all a great tour, highly recommended!

Our guide was very good. She really knew her way around the Kremlin and the Armoury Chamber. We had a slight problem meeting up as the joining instructions had advised us to look for a sign that wasn't on show, but we found each other eventually. Our guide's knowledge of history was fantastic, and we were really interested in what she told us about the Cathedrals and their icons too. She made sure we learned a lot! We would recommend this tour.

We had the best guide ever: Victoria Zhanna of Russiafreetour.com. She spoke an excellent English, was topl documentated (inside info!) and was extremely helpfull in giving us a wonderful tour. A true professional. So if Victoria is available, ask for her!
