We took a tour with Capital Tours to visit the Kremlin on a beautiful, warm summer day. Visually the tour was incredible, but I didn't feel that our guide added enough to make it worthwhile. All he was really interested in was the architecture and while he did talk briefly about specific people or events in relation to some of... More

This bus tour is a great way to get familiar with the layout of Moscow and to get to some points outside the historical center. The guide spoke good English and provided commentary throughout the two hour tour. At a few of the sights listed, we were able to get off the bus and take photos, but only for 5-10... More

These kinds of walking tours depend 100% on your guide. Ours, Arkvady (or something similar) was awesome. He was sufficiently sarcastic and cynical but also obviously very proud of Moscow and incredibly knowledgable about the history, art, and architecture. He was able to sense when the group needed to move on, wanted more detail, etc. I really appreciated the personal... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2011

Have to say our guide Leonid was very well informed and injected some good humour throughout our trip. Tourists are few and far between in February (with temperatures of -20C do you blame them ?) so we got the tour to ourselves. For those that have only a few days this tour will give a good insight into the main... More

Unlike the other reviewers, we found our guides to be genuinely engaged, interesting, and no one asked us for any tips. The bunker tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and the 2 hour city tour was a great intro to the main sites in the city for further exploration. More

We went on the Cold War Bunker Tour and the Kremlin Tour and enjoyed both. The Kremlin tour in particular was very thorough and lasted over 3 hours. The guides for both tours were very helpful, polite and knowledgeable. More

Our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and flexible. She was willing to discuss other issues as we walked. The starting location was convenient to Red Square. I rarely use guided tours, but I was glad I paid for this one, to make the most of a short stay in Moscow, More

Regretfully, I have used Capital Tours both for a tour of Moscow and for travel out of the country. In both instances, the purpose of the agency was to get more money out of me rather than to provide for my tour and travel needs. The tour guide even asked me for a tip at the end of the tour...before... More

The tour included the Kremlin Grounds, Cathedrals and Patriarch's Palace (museum). The tour was just OK. The guide did not seem interested in providing information, spoke in a monotone and walked at a very slow pace. The 2.5 hour tour could have included more or finished 30/45 minutes sooner if a normal pace had been used. The tour does not... More
