about provider

I really enjoyed it. Everything was wonderfully organized, and it was engaging—even if it was your first time being shown how to get around or spending time with a guide, it was fascinating. We stayed in a hotel on the 10th floor, and the view from the window was stunning. Highly recommend!

My 9-year-old daughter and I took the 'Moscow Kaleidoscope' tour, and we were very pleased. The purpose of the trip was to show my daughter Moscow as the capital, to explore its sights, history, and get a sense of life in the city. All our goals were met. Many thanks to the guides and tour organizers—everything was well-organized, and they chose really interesting places to visit. The hotel’s breakfast buffet was fantastic!
