GENERAL TOURS

For clients coming to Russia for the first time, groups who want to have a prearranged full-day program or returning visitors who want a ‘refresher course.’

You are welcome to choose any tour or combination of tours I offer. I am also glad to create an individual tour for you, based on your personal requirements, interests, preferences or professional needs. I am very flexible and have a wide range of experience and access in the city. The general tours themselves can be adapted or combined — some parts left out, others added.
