Hello Traveler!

My name is Maria Gavrilova. I am a private independent guide in Moscow and I would love to show you Russian capital, its surroundings and also our northern Great city called Saint Petersburg. We will discover at your own pace with a walking or driving tour.

My City - Moscow. As I am a Moscow citizen through and through I am living in this wonderful capital of Russia. In Moscow I am looking forward to showing you the most important sights, such as Red Square, the Kremlin, Tretyakov Gallery, Vorob’yovy Hills where you can run an eye over all Moscow like it’s lying on your hand, and many-many places you are interested to learn about.

If St. Petersburg is Russia's imperial crown, Moscow is its familial heart. It is a city in which one comes face to face with all that is finest and all that is most frustrating in Russia. The gregarious geniality of its people is as evident as the extreme tensions of a city coming to terms with the confusions of rapid social change. More than anywhere else in the country, it is in Moscow where the Soviet past collides with the capitalist future. Lenin's Mausoleum remains intact, but today it faces the newly chic GUM (pronounced goom), which is becoming ever more akin to Macy's or Harrod's.

Yet, as the new Moscow emerges, it is becoming increasingly clear that any move into the future will be marked by a strong appreciation of the city's rich and varied heritage--a heritage that vastly predates the era of Soviet rule. Indeed, the most striking aspect of the city today is not Moscow's much-publicized embrace of Western culture but its self-assured revival of its own traditions. Ancient cathedrals are being restored and opened for religious services, innovative theaters are reclaiming leadership in the arts, and traditional markets are coming back to life. Moscow is once more assuming its position as the capital and mother city of the ancient state of Russia.

I can also plan a trip to other beautiful cities of Moscow like Saint Petersburg, Vladivostok, etc.

About Me - Before becoming an independent private guide in Moscow I studied English and Spanish (my major). I like everything fresh, free and unpredictable. I am really happy with my gorgeous job which enables me to help you ENJOY the beauty of Moscow and my motherland Russia.

Let’s make our journey unforgettable! ))
