Description

After meeting with your local guide, you will walk along the oldest streets of the capital Ilyinka and Varvarka. You can find out where the ancestor of the Romanov dynasty was born, visit the unique Zaryadye Park, and of course, encounter the famous Soaring Bridge. Your guided tour will begin in the heart of Moscow, at the Red Square. You will see the main attractions of the capital, including Lenin's Mausoleum (external), St. Basil's Cathedral, GUM, and the Kazan Cathedral. Your guide will not only tell you historical facts, but will also lift the veil of secrets and legends associated with these places. Your tour will then continue to the oldest district of Moscow (with the exception of the Kremlin), the real business center of the ancient capital, and Kitay-Gorod. You will encounter architectural masterpieces such as churches, monasteries, chambers of boyars. The excursion will eventually end in a new cultural center of the capital, Zaryadye Park. This park is also the home to the best viewing platform in the city, the unique Soaring Bridge, which offers the best views over the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral. You also have the option to add a cruise to your walking tour, which will see you cruise for 2 hours whilst viewing the city's highlights from a different perspective.
