Over the past few years, mutual restrictions between Russia and a number of other countries have built up on both sides. As a result, some international websites, messaging apps, and online services either stop working entirely inside Russia, or work in a slow, unstable, unpredictable way. It's not one single block - it's a patchwork of overlapping restrictions, and which service is affected can change over time.
We know how important it is for our clients to stay connected during a trip - checking messages, sharing photos with family, using maps, staying in touch with work. A vacation shouldn't mean disconnecting from the tools you use every day. That's exactly the kind of comfort we want every guest to have while touring with us.
Here's the part that surprises a lot of travelers: most well-known international and paid VPN services simply don't work reliably inside Russia. Their servers get blocked quickly, connections drop, or the apps fail to connect at all. Paying for a subscription in advance doesn't guarantee it will actually work once you land - which can leave travelers stuck without a real backup plan.
To solve this properly, we provide free, unlimited access to our own corporate VPN to every client who books a tour with us - for the entire length of your visit to Russia, with no restrictions. It's fast, secure, and built specifically to stay reliable in the current environment, not a generic consumer product.
Over Wi-Fi, this is a 100% solution. Whether you're at your hotel, a cafe, or anywhere else with Wi-Fi, our VPN gives you full, stable access to the services you're used to.
Over mobile data, it helps in the vast majority of cases, but we can't promise 100%. Connections through local mobile operators may face stricter and more security-sensitive controls, and this is simply part of the current safety landscape, not something any VPN can fully guarantee. We ask for your understanding.
By the way, if you don't already have a local eSIM, we also offer an affordable and convenient eSIM service so you can get mobile data set up before you even land.
Book your tour with Moscow Private Tours, and stay connected the whole time you're here - reliably, securely, and without extra cost.
