Escorted Russian Tours

If you want to make most of your travel in Russia and to explore its hidden gems, our private guided tours are designed for you!

We offer a variety of guided tour programs in St. Petersburg, Greater Area and Moscow. We are experts in arranging both classic tours of palaces and museums, as well as off-the-beaten track itineraries designed for those travelers who have already visited the area before. If you are looking for a short 1/2 day tour or would like to get a comprehensive 2 weeks tour program, we will gladly arrange those for you!

Importantly, all our tour programs are flexible and can be changed any way you like when you arrive in Russia. If at any point during your tour you decide on visiting a new museum that was not included in the original program, just let your guide know and we will arrange this additional visit for you. We know that planning a trip from home is difficult and it is sometimes impossible to research it in a great detail. Therefore, we are committed to giving you as much flexibility and freedom of choice as possible.

We don't make you pay for unnecessary tour options. You are free to hire a tour guide alone or just rent one of our chauffeured cars to go on a self-guided tour. If your budget is tight we can structure the program in such a way as to maximize the actual tour time by getting rid of any fancy extras (yes, packed lunches are OK). At the same time if you are looking for a VIP tour complete with a limousine, a bodyguard and visits to Russia's most exclusive antique and art dealers, just let us know and we will handle the rest.

For a free non-binding tour program and price quotation please contact us and we will respond with our suggestions within 2 business days.
