I took the Private Moscow Must See Tour and from the start it was Outstanding! Few minutes after booking Alina contacted me via mail to plan the scheduled of my tour(with a base bucket list which i found very suitable for me), departure time and if i had any interest in something in particular in the city/history. (I usually book my tours with via tor and i'm not used to such flexibility and kind communication). For example, we agreed to start the tour earlier in order to have more daylight after it, so i can enjoy taking photos at sunset in Moscow in a few places they gave me later as tips. This gave me a good feeling about the tour which i could confirm the day i took it. I had the posibillity to see so many city landmarks, walking or by metro and never felt rush or tired at all. This was possible thanks to a very proffesional guide, Anya, who made the time fly (it was an 8hs tour) with history facts, tips and very useful info about Moscow. She is knowledgable, flexible, and it's always a pleasure to listen to someone who knows the city so well and has great sense of humour. I would totally book in the future another tour with Friendly Local Guides after such an awesome time. I highly recommend this as one of the very first things you do in Moscow.
