Private Moscow Red Square & Kitay Gorod Tour - Historic Core of Russian Capital

Summary

Meet your private guide at 10am in your Moscow hotel. Start with a quick chat about the sites that interest you most. The beauty of a private tour is that the itinerary can be tweaked to match your interests.  Then, head out to see Red Square, home to St. Basil’s Cathedral, and wander the history-steeped streets of Varvarka, Ilyinka, and Nikolskaya. Delve into Moscow Old Town for a visit to the 12th-century Tverskaya, one of the oldest European streets. Hear how the street was used for parades, and discover a few of the other important boulevards in the area. Znamenka is known as the street of the Russian aristocrats, and Volkhonka Street links the Christ the Savior Cathedral to the Kremlin.  Follow your guide through Muzeon Sculpture Park, admiring an array of sculptures from Soviet leaders to cartoon characters such as Pinocchio. The green space is loved by locals, and it’s a popular movie spot when the park becomes an open-air theater in summer.  Make your way along a walking trail that runs from the Red October Chocolate Factory to Sparrow Hills. Continue through the vast space of Gorky Park, passing table tennis games, fountains, and ice cream sellers, as you walk. After your walking tour, you’ll choose between a river cruise or a visit to one of Moscow’s acclaimed museums. The Bunker Museum, Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines, or the former Museum of the Revolution are just a few to consider. Entrance fees and the boat ride are at your own expense. Your 3-hour tour then ends with a hotel drop-off.
