FAQs for Free Tours
Russia's capital is so vast that you will need several days to fully explore it. Join several Free Walking Tours in Moscow to fully understand how an ancient medieval village became the epicenter of World War II and, eventually, the center of political terror of a utopian society. An Essential Moscow City Tour, or a Free Best Architecture Tour, will allow you to see the main landmarks of the historical city center in about 2.5 or 3 hours with a local guide. In addition, we highly recommend booking a fun Free Tour of the Underground, where you will see the stunning "people's palace" and be amazed by the most luxurious metro stations in the world. Other Free Tours in Moscow worth mentioning are a Free Tour of Communist Moscow, a Free Shopping Tour around the most important malls, and a Free Food Tour. All depart several days a week, both in the morning and the afternoon.
The Moscow Free Walking Tours will take you through a millennium of folklore and history. You will see architectural gems such as the massive Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Monument to Peter the Great, the Alexander Pushkin Library (also known as the Russian State Library), as well as the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the beautiful Aleksander Gardens. Of course, the most important attractions of Moscow are close to the wall and the towers of the Kremlin. In this area you will find the much-visited GUM shopping center and the Red Square. In this huge square you will see the twisted domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral, as well as the imposing Mausoleum of Lenin, where the body of the dictator is kept. Also, take the opportunity to visit some spectacular metro stations, like Komsomolskaya, with baroque ceilings painted yellow, Novoslobodskaya and Ploshchad Revolyutsii.

There was no tour due to no customers. No courtesy notice given for this cancellation, considering I have signed up 2 months in advance.
I rushed to location (after 24+hr flight) and waited...
The "good thing" is I only waited for 5min (i.e. read past review and saw someone also got treated the same-no courtesy notice given when tour is not running and the operator's justification was because the customer signed up last minute, therefore the operator saw it late. Well, I guess I signed up 2months too early that it got missed). Anyhow, just beware if you sign up. Reach out to them to confirm to be safe.

Things to Do in Moscow
Moscow is a sprawling city ideal for shopaholics, foodies, and museum lovers. Among the many activities that will fill your day of sightseeing in Moscow, we recommend you prioritize a visit to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where the Changing of the Guard ceremony takes place. If you love luxury brands and glamorous venues, take a stroll through the elegant galleries of GUM, the most beautiful shopping center in Russia, just next to the Kremlin. For travelers with a sweet tooth, delicious surprises await at the Red October Chocolate Factory. Finally, there are many options available for those who enjoy art or family outings. Make sure to book your tickets for the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre well in advance, or visit the extensive collections of the Pushkin Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, the Museum of Cosmonautics of Moscow, the Museum of National History in Moscow, or even the Kremlin Armory.
