Ksenia - Tour Guide in Moscow

My name is Ksenia. I represent a group of guides in Moscow. We take pride in living in this beautiful city and absolutely adore showing it off to new visitors!

We are so passionate about travel because it is such a wonderful opportunity to expand your horizons. The opportunity to visit different countries and learn about different cultures, customs and traditions is priceless. The chance to explore a new city, try local food, visit flea markets and festivals creates memories for a lifetime. And of course, going on a tour with locals is imperative because only the local people can give show you the secrets of the city: the most fun, the best restaurants, and the best food – the best experiences.

We love greeting everybody that comes to this amazing city and proudly introducing them to our culture and history, sharing with them all the reasons we love Russia as much as we do.

MoscowMe is all about providing our tourists with excellent service – of a kind that they rave about for years to come. For the rest of your life you will remember Moscow and me and say to yourself: “Oh, I remember that wonderful tour and that girl that just made it unforgettable!”

There is so much to do in Moscow and trying to fit in all of the sights and activities can be stressful. At MoscowMe we take that job off your hands and guarantee you an action-packed adventure that fits your budget and your timetable.

In the morning of the tour the guide ask me to pay 6000 rubals

Response from Ksenia
Hello Udi, Considering that your reservation was the only one and you would be enjoying a 3-hour private tour, a tip of $75 would be a fair and appreciated acknowledgment of the guide’s time and expertise. Unfortunately, many visitors assume that a “free” tour means it’s entirely without cost, and they often overlook the value of the guide’s work, sometimes even taking offense at the suggestion of paying a reasonable amount for the experience. We’re truly sorry if you feel that way. Our intention is never to pressure or offend anyone, it’s simply a suggestion to value fairly the effort that go into providing a meaningful and personalized experience which you are free to accept or deny. For guides, tips aren’t just a gesture of appreciation; they’re often the primary form of compensation for their work. Kind regards, Ksenia

Alex was a great instructor — engaging and knowledgeable. My only comment concerns the communication with the office before the tour. We registered a few days in advance, but only the evening before the tour did we receive a message from Ksenia explaining that, due to the political situation (and therefore the lack of tourists), there was a fixed price per person for this tour. While I completely understand the difficult circumstances, I think this should be mentioned as soon as someone registers — just be upfront and say it might happen. That way, people won’t feel they’re being misled. In the end, I believe the price was fair, and the tour itself was excellent.

We booked the tour in advance with my Hungarian girlfriend. This was advertised as a free walking tour and we were excited to learn about Moscow. However, just one day prior to the booking the tour guide informed us that due to “political situation” there were not enough people attending and the tour suddenly became a paid one with a fixed fee of £60 per person. Totally late notice and why would you advertise something that you know is not in demand and advertise it as free? Unprofessional and lame from the guide. Do not book. Greed over actual desire to “introduce people to the Russian culture”.

Response from Ksenia
Thank you for your feedback, George! We sincerely regret any confusion or disappointment you experienced. Our free walking tours operate on a tip-based model, as is standard worldwide—but due to the current decline in tourism, we kindly ask guests to confirm their attendance after booking to avoid no-shows (which unfortunately happen often with free tours). In your case, we reached out proactively as soon as you booked the tour and the day before to inform you that your booking was the only one, and (by an honest error) mentioned a private tour fee of 6,000 RUB *per person*, when we actually meant *total* for both of you (≈€65 for a 3-hour private tour, far below market rate especially in the UK where you come from). We immediately corrected this, apologized (in writing and by a phone call), and offered to reschedule the tour. We never intended to mislead, and we deeply value genuine cultural exchange. It’s unfortunate that a simple misunderstanding led to such a harsh review, especially when we made every effort to accommodate you fairly and in good faith. Kind regards, Ksenia

Alex was an outstanding guide for our walking tour in Moscow. He shared so many fascinating stories and historical details about each landmark we visited, always making sure the group was engaged and comfortable. His knowledge and passion for Moscow were clear from the very beginning, and he answered all our questions with patience and a smile. Thanks again!
