“
Our tour guide Ekaterina met us exactly where they text us the day before, she walked us over to the Kremlin and as she did she explained facts about Russia. She was excellent throughout the entire tour, it was great being a private tour only our family. She took us to the Armory , Diamond exhibition and she provided us with the audio and then told us where to wait for her. After that we wanted to have lunch and she gave us tips of where to eat and where to shop. We invited her to have lunch with us after the tour. thank you Ekaterina for a great tour!.”

“
Privately guided tours and short lines are the only way to visit the Kremlin. The massive crowds of group tourists are still there but our guide was able to navigate through all of this. Thanks Katja.”

“
Our tour guide met us promptly at library. Walked through park just outside the Kremlin. I was amazed at how smoothly and quickly we were able to enter Kremlin and museums despite how busy it was. She was very knowledgeable about Russian history and pointed out interesting facts regarding some of items in museum. I am glad she stopped for a quick break in Kremlin gardens for ice cream and drinks, as we were hungry and thirsty. We were not only able to see Assumption cathedral, but Annunciation, and Archangel Cathedrals as well. I would highly recommend this tour to avoid long lines and frustration at the Kremlin. You also gain additional insight and interesting information that you would not otherwise.”

“
We had a fantastic tour with Katia. She was incredibly knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. Her english is impeccable. We were a group of photographers and asked her to show us some of the best spots for pictures and she knew just where to take us. The crowds were fairly large that day and she expertly navigated us through the maze of people.”

“
Very knowledgeable tour guide. Fabulous. However the Kremlin was not too nice, did not allow her in with us and she tried to get a ticket and also to give us some audio headsets and they did not allow her in a certain area. They then wanted her info. It was very upsetting. She did not do anything wrong, I hope this got resolved. She is a very kind and smart woman.”

“
A wonderful visit to the Kremlin - our guide Tatiana was extermely knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of information for our 13 and 17 year old. Amazing to see all the Russian treasures in the Diamond fund and Armory and inside the beautiful churches. Highly recommended.”

“
A tour to the Kremlin during the 70th anniversary victory parade time frame can be nothing but spectacular and having a guide to show the best viewing areas is priceless. We highly recommend this tour group for their professional and world renowned availability. Our only disappointment was that our guide chose to send us in to the armory and jewel room with headsets rather than providing one on one services which he did do for the many churches. As we paid over 400 for the two of us we would have preferred this although maybe others would enjoy the option of going at your own pace and viewing what you chose.”

Ok...this is probably not what you want to hear, but the guide was not very good. We loved the Exhibition, Armory and Kremlin but her narrative was very lacking. I found myself listening to other guides to get the background. We ended up going bac to the Kremlin cathedrals the next day to gather more insights. We stopped and treated her to lunch. I have never seen anyone eat so much! Yikes...guess she ate her tip!”

“
We paid over $500 for this private tour. The instructions for the meeting point were not clear and after much help, we reached the appointed venue 20 minutes late only to learn that our tour guide did not even buy the tickets before hand. She made us stand in the queue and bought tickets. So the premium paid was a waste as we did not get early admission. Moreover, we spent alot of time in queues behind big tour groups and wasted alot of time. To make matters worse, our tour guide had very little knowledge and she bought us audio guides for 1000 roubles and we did the tour with that. Her role became that of an escort! I would NOT recommend this tour with Viator. Save your money; do it with another operator.”
