Honesty.

Unfortunately, the tourist industry is often connected with dishonest behavior. Foreign visitors may be cheated in different ways, but our goal is to change it.

How does it work in Moscow Private Tours?

We have public and transparent pricing in Roubles (note, that quoting in foreign currency is illegal), we pay taxes, we don’t have hidden costs, we don’t have agreements with souvenir shops (it often happens in other companies that tourists pay double price and their guides get profit on that), we don’t cheat with customer reviews, we never lie to our customers, and we pay for the licensed images published on our website.

Our goal is to promote Russia as a tourist destination by providing exclusive city tours with top private guides. Setting up the highest standards in the industry, learning the best practices from all over the world and providing fast and convenient booking process helps us to offer a unique customer experience and to lead the market.

Friendliness image

Friendliness.

The private tours business is a very personalized one. We train our guides to be local friends for every single customer. This also helps us to avoid the job turning into routine, and to enjoy the friendship with people all around the world.

How does it work in Moscow Private Tours?

Well, first of all being friendly is a ‘must’ behavior, but it is hard to measure. Apart from smiling, showing respect and being positive we do some extra work in the company and have specific internal programmes, like psychological trainings for our guides on personal and special approach to different types of characters.
