Welcome to Moscow!

Hello Dear Friends!

My name is Svetlana, I am a Moscow tour guide and coordinator, licensed with the Russian Association of tour guides and tour managers. I speak English and run private tours to Moscow, interpret and support sales at exhibitions and trade shows, arrange and coordinate business visits to the city.



My prices are also valid for tours guided in French, Spanish, German, Italian. For years I have been working in close cooperation with my colleagues speaking different languages including Mandarin, Hebrew, Korean, Japanese. As a tour coordinator, I tailor each program to my guests' individual pace and preferences before entrusting it to best guides, drivers and other service providers.

Well, let us take a drive through the city of "two sidedness, complexity, intense movement, collisions and confusion in outward appearance"! (V. Kandinsky). Have a great journey!
