Our guide, Ekaterina from Walks with Folks was great. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the stations. She flexed the tour to fit our plans to visit the Cosmonaut museum afterwards instead of going back to our hotel. I wish I had done the tour earlier in the week as she taught us how easy it is to use the metro. She didn't rush us at all. We had some glitches before the tour with communication. Polina did not receive the responses to her emails from me regarding the name and address of the hotel. Since they had my cell number it was no problem, though. This tour is a great way to make sure you have the opportunity to see some of the most stunning stations and a great way to orient yourself with the Metro system.

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.

We were picked up from our hotel by Tim ( who spoke perfect English) our guide for the shooting tour. The military van pick up was a great and enjoyable experience driving through the streets of Moscow. The shooting was amazing and very professionally done. Do go on this tour you will not regret it.

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!

The metro stations in Russia have been created as exceptional facilities for the masses, with unique theme and decorations. They reflect the country's history very effectively. A must see!
