Description

Moscow was the capital of the enormous Soviet Empire for more than 70 years. The city's streets are still full of remnants of the communist regime and the Cold War, and the fearsome Soviet strongholds still guard the young Russian democracy.

This tour takes you to the infamous KGB headquarters, also known as Lubyanka, Revolution Square, the last Karl Marx monument in Moscow, the Bolshoi Theatre, and the first McDonalds in the USSR.

Discover hidden pages of Soviet history, from the Great October Revolution to the Perestroika movement, from Lenin to Gorbachev.

Your guide will speak about Stalin’s Great Terror political campaign, the GULAG system, the KGB’s secret prison, and how people lived in the Soviet Union.

MARINA was the perfect ambassador for Moscow

We started out across the street from the building that was the KGB headquarters in Soviet times. Our tour guide had excellent English and a strong passion for the subject matter. She showed us a building that was being renovated and was the place where 40,000 Russians were sentenced to death. She pointed out details about the different views of Soviet times among Russians. She recommended that we go to the Museum of Contemporary History we went there the next day that was helped to complete the overview of this subject matter.
The guide Ana was fantastic, really good English, very interesting information, very open for all questions, not rushed at all and besides the standard places also very interesting spots which you can not find yourselves!
