Great tour! Our guide, Felix, was very knowledgable and also funny. This is a must-do for your first day in Moscow as it will introduce you to sights which you will later want to visit.

A good introduction to the city. We did not realise from the description on Viator that it is actually a hop-on hop-off tour. Also, we had some trouble finding the meeting point and the phone number printed on the ticket voucher was incorrect.

I almost missed this tour as I did not receive on time the mail telling me the departure time had changed 3.30 instead of 2.30. I fortunately called the agency in Moscow after 30min waiting and they told me I should wait 30 more min. I think you should have called me as you had my mobile phone number. Apart from that, I enjoyed the guide and the tour !

The tour was good, but the starting point isn't easy to find for someone who has never been to Moscow.

Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was interesting, and there was enough walking that it didn't feel like a bus drive-by tour.

Once again we were the only persons in the tour. Despite the weather - it was very cold for us - I'll do it again.

The city tour was great and provided a lot of wonderful photo opportunities throughout Moscow. Our guide was fluent in English, able to answer all questions with interesting detail, and was quite entertaining. A wonderful tour. Our guide also pointed out some great locations that I was able to get back to later and explore further.

It's an excellent way to have an overview of the city and later going where you want to. The guides know very much and they complement the sightseeing with always interesting historic facts.

This was an excellent way to be introduced to this wonderful city. The bus and guide and information were great. The city and sites speak for themselves, fantastic!. Like all tours there is never enough time or enough places to stop but you can go back to all areas in your own time with the superb metro.

Interesting, clear commentary. Great if weather really cold as bus was comfortable and warm. Good for photo opportunities and great for getting your bearings in a new town. Would recommend this to anyone going to Moscow.

This is a great way of seeing the main tourist bits of Moscow.

It was very good.

Review by: Patricia R	July 2007
I really enjoyed my tour in Moscow. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I just wish the tour operator would pick customers up at their hotels. I did not know the city or the language, and I had to pay for a taxi to go meet the tour and to come back to the hotel.

Excellent tour guide and tour. A must-do for anyone visiting Moscow for the first time.

Historical, enlightening, fun and informative.

Review by: Susan B	December 2006
This was a great way to get around the city - enough time was allowed to stop for pictures.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2006
This was a tour that was made so enjoyable by the guide. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his history, and shared it with the group rather than citing facts and figures. He was quite humorous without being corny or forced, and made us comfortable and excited. I have seen most of the stops on the tour previously on foot with the aid of several guide books, but nothing beats having someone telling you what you are seeing and providing insights the books just can't give. Wholly enjoyable.

Nice overview, very informative.

Brilliant coach trip to see all the major sights of Moscow. Our guide was excellent. She was an expert on Moscow and she passed on the information with great clarity in perfect English. One of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend this tour for all visitors to Moscow.
