This is a great tour company for English speakers to sightseeing Moscow city and other cities in the famous called golden ring.
We paid quite a bit of money for this tour ( around 80 pounds per person). The tour is for Vladimir, Bogolyubovo and Suzdal, we also went independently to Yaroslavl.
Our train arrived from Moscow to Vladimir around 9 am and that gave us extra time with the tour guide.
Sergei, the tour guide has lots of knowledge of the cities, he shared lots of historical information, facts and some legends too. He keeps you posted on timings and what you will see next on the tour.
Personally we didn't like him taking phone calls through the day but I guess we didn't mind much as we never ask him not to do so.
Sergei speaks very well English and can answer all your questions.
Our favourite part of the tour was the location of the church on the nerl in Bogolyubovo.
If you have the money the time and the energy we do recommend this tour. You will walk around 18 km because you do sightseeing in three different places.

Out guide Oksana was amazing! Highly professional and very knowledgeable about the locations on our tour. She went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience in Moscow. She was able to help us locate an obscure book store that had unique Russian fairy tales in English. We highly recommend both her and the company to anyone interested in a personalized and informative tour of Moscow!

Without Bridge to Moscow, my 14-day trip to Moscow would have been totally different. It would have been an OK trip, but not the unforgettable trip that Bridge to Moscow made it. First of all, I dealt with Anna, one of the founders of the organization, starting about 4 months before my trip. Anna is fantastic. Her English is perfect. Above all, she listened. I was very clear about what I wanted to see and what I wasn’t interested in seeing. Anna didn’t push me towards those things that didn’t interest me. Where she did push was in regard to certain places where she strongly felt that while a guide wasn’t absolutely necessary, my experience would be immeasurably enhanced if I did have a guide. I knew she couldn’t be giving me this advice for mercenary reasons, because in a couple of cases, the guide in question was not provided by Bridge to Moscow at all, but by the museum or institution in question. I followed her advice, and I didn’t regret it. On another subject: Because of the current world situation, Anna needed to be creative and flexible, especially in terms of financial matters. She made it work. She trusted me. I trusted her. In particular, Anna met me on the morning after my arrival in Moscow, and she and I went to the bank together to exchange money, and she helped me open a bank account as well. That turned out to be extremely useful. On programming my visit: Because I wanted to see many things, some of which were very much off the beaten path, organization was not straightforward, and Anna was extremely precise throughout. I used a Bridge to Moscow guide on 7 of my 14 days, and on two other days, I used the in-house guide of two large and important museums, which Anna set up for me. On the five remaining days, I was on my own, doing things that I really didn’t need a guide for, principally art museums and galleries, and parks and walks. Oksana, Ivan, and Lana were my three guides. Their English was flawless, their knowledge encyclopedic, and their commitment to me absolute during my time with them. All three were charming and didn’t hesitate to express their opinions and engage with me about mine. We went to cemeteries, parks, museums, the Lenin mausoleum, Mosfilm, GUM, and much else. One last thing: pricing was extremely reasonable. So what can I say? A five-star experience in all respects. Highest recommendation.

I took two tours with Bridge to Moscow and I am always surprised how the incredible tour guide brings us the tour beyond. Oksana was my guide for both tours and she is incredibly knowledgable to provide us a lot of little details which reveal the richness of Russian culture and history. I highly recommend taking a tour with Bridge to Moscow. You will leave Moscow with a better understanding of Russians and Russian culture.

Our trip to the Dasha was the best experience during our stay in Moscow, Irina and her mother were so sweet with us. We started our tour in the local market and then we moved to the Dasha we got to try home made russian cheesecakes, borshe soup and a really good russian herbal tea. Then Irina took us to check the neighbors’ gardens which we really loved and took a small tour around the neighborhood. Then went back to the Dasha for Matryoshka doll painting while waiting for the bbq to get ready.
I really recommend whoever comes to Moscow to have this experience and get to know how the local people live in the country side 👌🏼

Today we had a fantastic visit with our French friends to the Bolshoy. Everything was organized by bridge to Moscou perfectly ! Never had something better. Initially we planned to go to kremlin - big tour , but it was canceled at the last moment because there was a special event for Mr President. Anna proposed us to change to Bolshoy Theatre tour. Super organisation. The guide Oxana is fantastic . Stepan was translating everything ( we were group of 12 French people ) . He is very professional . The most exciting part was meeting with the ballet dancer - Olga Kishneva. After we went to the back stage where we saw the preparation for the Swan Lake where we were going this evening .
For me it’s the best organization ever!!!! Strongly recommend Bridge to Moscow to everybody! You will really enjoy!

We travelled to Murmansk, staying in a remote lodge which could only be reached by snowmobile. We had an incredible adventure - banya, snowmobiling, visiting a Sami village, a tour of Murmansk, sampling local cuisine...Bridge to Moscow ensurer that our trip was tailor made to our wishes, we couldn’t have asked for better! It was an unforgettable experience.

Driver Feedback:
The driver was excellent. His car was spacious and comfortable, which made our journeys pleasant. Communication with him was smooth and easy, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
Guides Feedback:
All of our guides were incredibly knowledgeable. They provided insightful information about the cities and the rich history of Russia, which greatly enhanced our tour experience.
Likes/Dislikes:
Most Liked: We particularly enjoyed the Doll Museum in the local village. The hosts were exceptionally friendly and prepared a delightful presentation along with delicious food. We felt genuinely welcomed into their home.
Least Liked: None.
Hotels Feedback:
Overall, the hotels were satisfactory. However, there was a problem with the air conditioning at the Ibis Yaroslavl. It would also have been more convenient if our rooms were always adjacent, though we understand that this isn't always possible. Additionally, one of the hotels did not have elevators, requiring us to carry our suitcases up the stairs, which was somewhat inconvenient.

We spent several hours with Irina at the All-Russian Exhibition Center in Moscow. It was a beautiful place and Irina knew many historical facts about it. Afterwards we went to the Victory Park. Irina was an amazing tour guide, patient and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend her and Bridge to Moscow tours. We have used Bridge to Moscow tour company for years and we are never disappointed.

We took the datcha tour, Maria was incresible we couldnt thank her enough. It was one of the best days we had in Moscow. Learning about Russian traditions, experiencing the great food, and painting Matryoshka 🪆 all was beyond our expectations

Dear Bridge Moscow,
We are a couple arriving Moscow SVO early morning ( 5am) and leave again the same day (7pm flight). We would not like to just stay the whole day in the airport but want some hours around Moscow, at least visit the Red Square (?). Will need a day room or something like that before the tour with a full , warm breakfast.
Could you organise it?Thank you.
