Moscow Private Red Square and City Tour

Summary

Your guide greets you at the entrance of your Moscow accommodation at a time that best suits your schedule. From here, you’ll stroll towards Red Square, a UNESCO-listed enclave home to some of Moscow’s most iconic attractions. Pose for pictures outside of St. Basil’s Cathedral (Pokrovsky Sabor), a colorful confection designed by an architect later blinded by Ivan the Terrible, and pose for pictures outside of Resurrection Gate, Lenin’s Mausoleum, and Kazan Cathedral. Wander around the riverside blooms of Alexander’s Garden, watch a changing of the guard ceremony outside of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and then head to Kitay Gorod, a Bohemian district replete with art stores and markets selling artisan souvenirs.  Throughout the tour, your guide provides a historical overview of Moscow and offers insight into local cultural traditions. Your sightseeing experience culminates with a visit to Gorky Park, where you’ll stop for a drink (own expense) in a fashionable bar. Bid your guide farewell back at your accommodation. If you have time to explore independently your guide can suggest other must-see Moscow sights.
