I recently had the pleasure of a mini weekend break in Moscow covering the last weekend in September. I've always heard about the Moscow Metro and seen pictures on the web but wanted to experience it for myself. I booked this trip through trip advisor and headed off. I can honestly say that Elena (our tour guide) was fantastic. Very friendly, very knowledgeable, spoke great English, and just made the tour really enjoyable. The tour lasts 1.5 hours and covers 7 stunning stations.
I would honestly recommend this trip to anyone.
