Due to my hectic work schedule, at my request, Niko took me on, what turned out to be, a hybrid rooftop and hidden bar tour of Moscow. I really appreciate his flexibility in tailoring the activities to my whims (I'm late... I'm hungry... I think I need a drink, etc.). Niko is a personable and polite guy. I wish I would have stayed in Moscow longer so I could have taken his full hidden bar tour and/or film night. Thank you for showing me around Niko!

Description

My rooftop tour is a great way to enjoy the best views of Moscow: the historical centre, the financial centre, and the Seven Sisters. It's not extreme, just a safe a relaxing walk.

We’ll choose 1–2 rooftops to visit during the day or at night. You’ll have the chance to take photos, meet locals, learn about the architecture, chill, and practise your Russian, English, or Spanish.

Don’t worry about cold and rainy weather – we know several covered vantage points.

Extra: I can arrange a photo session with a pro photographer during our tour for an additional fee.

What’s included & not included

At the meeting point we’ll drink a cup of tea/coffee and choose the rooftops to visit

Entry fees: some rooftops charge admission (RUB 500–1000 on average)

Transportation (if we need it)

Meeting point

Sputnik hostel & personal space: ulitsa Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 20/1 (entrance 4, dial 50, apartment 50). Our door is the next entrance along from the Nobu restaurant. Metro stations: Pushkinskaya or Teatral'naya.

I don't think anyone is as passionate and genuine with Moscow rooftops as Niko – and he backs this up when he told me, "going up on rooftops is my life." A cool alternative to sightseeing in Moscow, rely on Niko to show you the best city views from different rooftops. He'll also take you or recommend off-the-beaten non-touristy spots and activities like indie movie screenings, coffee shops, bars, etc. Niko is a very easygoing, nice, and sensible guy so it was fun to hangout with him! Definitely worth checking out this travel experience.
Think that's a unique experience, we visited 2 roofs with awesome views. Also experience is worth it, at least to know Niko, he is a great traveller and very interesting and simple person. Strongly recommend)
