Such excursions have a huge amount, especially in places of cluster tourists and guests of the city. We started my excursion from the starting point - Fair VDNH, as we lived in a hotel in the area. In total, the excursion lasted (taking into account traffic) 2h.45min. Overall impression: I liked it! This is an affordable option for those who found themselves in the capital passage or, as we came on a business trip for 2 days - after all, it is impossible to inspect many landmarks.
We made an excursion on a comfortable Ikarus, where there are about 40 seats. If anyone is interested in to hear the guide, then you need to choose places in the first half of the bus, otherwise, because of the hum of passengers, a lot passes "past the ears." The only minus on the bus: it is impossible to eat in it. We were notified about this already when we started our way, and my colleague and I scored all sorts of snacks, as it was 15:00, and we were without lunch. Children in the bus calmly chewed candy, and we are our hamburgers in the hope that we will not make a remark. We were lucky - no one watched us))) by the way, the cost of a ticket for 1 person amounted to 750 rubles (October 2016), small discounts of 50-100 rubles were provided with children, retirees. And, by the way, there were no more surcharge - the route is standard without deviations, you can be photographed everywhere freely. The excursion bus was driving on a specific route, where we could see the famous buildings and monuments in the windows, while having heard a little story. Stops for photo shoots and a more detailed story from the guide were committed on Red Square, on Sparrow Mountains, Poklonnaya Mountain and Square of the Mosfilm. Each stop is limited to time - 20 minutes. Of course this time is enough only to follow together with the guide and listen to the eloquent monologues or wander on your own and make numerous photos. Now about the minus at the excursion: the stop at the Red Square was from the side of the street. Therefore, we visited the Red Square alone, where they were able to see the main square of the country in all its glory.
Conclusion: excursions for the time in a short time to explore many attractions in the city, since hiking occupy much more time and strength. Affordable price. My opinion is that those who have received visited in Moscow only a small number of days, it is necessary to visit at least one excursion.
