Arthur is a fantastic guide through Moscow. He is professional, punctual and his English speaking skills impeccable. If you need a guide during your visit to Moscow or the countryside, you cannot do better than Arthur. Being born and raised in Moscow he has a command of the city few people possess. He is also well schooled in Russia's rich history and culture. Many thanks to you Arthur for making our trip to Moscow a memorable experience.

From the moment I found Arthur on the Internet, he has been a real pleasure to deal with.
The booking was set up before we arrived in Moscow and he made us feel very safe and secure in a country where the language is very difficult to understand.
Arthur arrived at the hotel exactly on time and it was like meeting an old friend! He drove us into town and chatted all the way there, putting us at ease. He explained where we were going and what we could expect to see. All the extra pieces of info that you would not get from walking round, reading the descriptions of the exhibits. We went to see the changing of the guard, Lenins tomb, The Armoury, the diamond exhibition, Red Square, Gym store, The Kremlin, St Basil's and had a meal at a Ukranian restaurant. A fabulous day with a fabulous host. I would recommend Arthur's services to anyone considering a trip to Moscow. After a few hours with him, we could conquer the city on our own feeling confident with proper bearings.
Thank you Arthur, it has been FAB !!!!! Xx

We (couple in mid 30's) had a long 15 hour layover in Moscow on our way to SE Asia over Christmas break. We wanted a guided that could pick us up at the airport, show us the sites, & bring us back to catch our connection. Who wants the stress of trying to figure out taxis or public transportation when you don't have a lot of time, you have luggage, & your in the middle of a long haul flight with little sleep? You just don't need that kind of stress on vacation! Arthur was the perfect choice! He met us at the airport. We loaded our luggage into his car & we were off to the city! Arthur has a deep knowledge of history and was able to give us great insight into Russian history. He is also a really good photographer which I loved since I too greatly enjoy photography. He suggested great photos & angles & was also there to take shots of Michael & I together around the city. We now have great trip photos to share with family & friends. We visited Red Square, St. Basil’s Cathedral, Lenin’s Tomb, Moscow Kremlin ground and cathedrals, Armory museum, changing of the guard, Moscow Metro stations, took panoramas of Moscow Kremlin from river and after dark photographed some night scenes of Moscow. He took us to a great Ukrainian restaurant to eat. The hearty food was sooo good on a chilly Moscow day! At the end of the day Arthur drove us back to the airport & even walked us to our gate. We really had a great day in Moscow with Arthur. Don't spend your layover in the airport. Get out & experience this amazing city with a great guide & no worries!

A lifelong dream came true to visit Russia and the perfect guide came along with it. Arthur is the “Russian Guru of Drivers-Guide” for everyone looking or considering a guide please also, reference Steve Killian’s post on 2006-12-20. Steve’s post is on spot. Arthur is still on point after 8 years. Like Steve, I was solo on my visit with no worries with Arthur at the wheel. Pick up from DME several tours in 7 seven days and I was directed in the correct line for my return flight. I experienced Moscow through the eyes of a true Muscovite, who loves his city, country and wants you to experience the true Moscow. Arthur thanks for the experience of life time. During our visit to Sergius Lavra (Russia’s Vatican City) services I felt the presents of God in this historical church. Arthur thanks for sharing with me the Art, History, Religion (Churches were awesome), Cultural Centers, Markets, Culinary and photography it was all amazing. Also, visiting Russia in the winter you don’t have to deal with the crowd’s. Moscow was lit up like a Christmas Winter Wonderland. In every park there was a theme and several streets were closed to traffic for venders in the center of the city on the weekends. Arthur thanks for everything. If you are reading this post and trying to decide to use Arthur “just do it”.

He is a honest , professional guide , very serious in catching time for us to see more of Moscow , and also bring my husband to great photo site to take beautiful pictures. He himself is a very good photographer and knowledgeable in Russian history , i highly recommend him if you are planning to go to Moscow on your own.
