We hired Arthur to take us on an off-the-beaten path day trip to Leo Tolstoy's ancestral estate, Yasnaya Polyana, and it was one of the best days of our entire trip to Russia. From the moment we booked Arthur's services, he went into action, setting up a personal English language tour of the estate for us as well as researching other nearby attractions that we could visit to enrich the day. Arthur is friendly, courteous and extremely knowledgable about seemingly all aspects of the country's history, culture and attractions. He is also tireless and extremely professional. Plus, his rates are very reasonable for the level of service he provides. We've traveled all over the world and I can honestly say that Arthur is one of the best personal guides we've ever had.

My wife and I were looking for a personal driver who would show us Moscow at night. We hired Arthur, and certainly we were not disappointed. Arthur gave us a complete tour of the city. His personal attention was excellent, and he went out of his way to take us to all parts of the city an oridnary tour company would not do it for the price he charges. He is an excellent driver who would tell you the history behind every single landmark. He is very corteous and friendly. I will definitely hire Arthur again on my next trip to Moscow. And if you are looking for a personal guide who would show you the city at very, very reasonable prices, do not hesitate and hire Arthur right away.

My husaband and I went to Moscow on July 2008, Arthur was our tour guide for few days, we planned very interesting places to see, he was always on time,he is very reliable, very friendly, optimistic,he make us laugh a lot, his personality is very pleasent.
He knows a lot about his country, history, culture,really now we have a very nice impression about Russia and the people, thanks to Arthur.

I contacted Arthur as recommended by a user on the Lonely Planet Thorntree forum. My nephew and I had a 9 hour layover at Moscow's Sheremetyevo 2 airport while traveling from a primary vacation in the Middle East. We preferred to tour Moscow rather than sit at the airport for 9 hours. I arranged for Arthur to pick me up at the airport and provide a quick tour of the major attractions. I realized this was risky given Moscow's notorious traffic problems. Our flight landed an hour late in Moscow. I called Arthur while still on the plane on the runway ready to cancel the arrangements because of the late arrival. However, he convinced me that we still had enough time. He took back roads into Moscow to avoid the horrendous freeway traffic and was still able to provide us with a two hour + walking tour of the Red Square/Kremlin area with a quick Metro tour thrown in. Arthur definitely knows the city well--both from a historical and navigational standpoint. I am glad he convinced me to leave the airport--the short tour was definitely a highlight of our week. I would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a driver and/or tour guide in Moscow.

I have used Arthur's services on my last trip to Moscow. Very responsible, on time and amazing knowledge of Russia's history. Although i was there only for a day it felt like i got to know the whole Moscow or Moskva.
