Daniel was excellent, knowledgeable and good company to be with. He took us to and from Sergiev Posad by train telling us about the history of the Trinity Monastery en route. When we got there we were able to spend all the time we wanted at the monastery. The local guide Daniel arranged at the monastery (Svetlana) was also excellent, as was the restaurant he chose for our (late) lunch. When we got back to Moscow, Daniel showed us the Yaroslavskiy and Kazanskiy railway stations. Overall, a great day!

Daniel was remarkable as a tour guide. This tour was perfect, as I was not sure exactly what I wanted to see. We spent some time up front talking about what I might be interested in and then the rest of the day putting our plan into action. He was extremely knowledgeable and quite fun to spend the afternoon with. We hit all the big sites, as well as some things I was unaware were even available to us. All around great guide, so much so that I booked two days with him. Highly recommended.

We were fortunate to have Daniel as our tour guide for 4 days and would have been happy with 4 more. Dan is a very friendly, courteous, flexible and extremely knowledgeable professional. He filled 4 days with tourist sites, historical information, everyday places and even jokes and poems. He made us feel completely at home in a city that can be tough for non-Russian speaking tourists. And the best part was that although he had a fully prepared plan for us, he listened to our interests. Thanks Again,Dan

A great introduction to the city. We visited around the Kremlin and then went to the Tolstoy House with a nice lunch in between. I had a great time and would highly recommend this especially if you can do it early on in your time in Moscow.

We booked two tours with Daniel and loved them both! Daniel is a terrific person and extremely knowledgeable. He came up with some very interesting and off the beaten path things for us to see, such as the souvenir market, the Cold War bunker, and the Tolstoy house. He took all of our interests and come up with a great itinerary that left everyone in our diverse group absolutely thrilled. And it was logistically well-run! I would definitely book a tour with Daniel again the next time I come to Moscow.

Daniel is a great tour guide. He speaks excellent English, is charming, and went out of his way to make our day in Moscow a terrific experience. He spent extra time with us to make sure we saw everything we wanted to and even paid for our metro fares himself when the line to buy tickets was too long. I would highly recommend him!

Daniel met my plane at Moscow's SVO airport exactly as promised and quickly escorted me to my hotel via express train and metro, as I had requested. The next day we toured downtown Moscow. Daniel's English is superb, as is his knowledge of Russian history and fine arts. He took pains to understand my desires for the tour and accommodated them fully. He even helped me exchange train tickets from Moscow to St. Petersburg! Dan is very pleasant. I highly recommend him (and his Mom's borscht).

We couldn't have been happier with Daniel as our guide for a one-day tour of Moscow. He is so enthusiastic about his city and its heritage, and really made the sites we visited interesting and memorable. He even brings along a booklet of historical photos and maps to help illustrate his "lessons" about various sites. He met us at our train right on time, had a car waiting for us, and had the whole day planned out--but was totally flexible during the day to do things at our pace.

We toured 4 full days with Daniel and are very happy with our choice. Daniel is charming, humorous, and knowledgeable. Although he is listed as advanced rather than fluent in English, we had no trouble understanding him or the information presented. He was very willing to answer questions not related to the tours, such as educational systems & the political scene, allowed us to stray from the tour outline, and even bought us chocolate when we casually mentioned that we enjoy chocolate. Great experience.

We learned so much from Daniel. He was extremely accomodating and took care of everything during our 3 day custom tour with him. It would have been very difficult to figure out our way around Moscow without him, so we really appreciated his expert guidance as well as his historical knowledge.

We booked a 3 day tour with Daniel which was the best part of our trip. Daniel went above & beyond to ensure we saw all the sights we wanted plus fabulous sights not listed in guide books. He was extremely knowledgeable & it was fascinating speaking to him about politics & Moscow history. He also served as a concierge buying our train tickets to St. Petersburg & helping us negotiate at the souvenir market. We started off with a world class tour guide, but by the end of the trip, we had a wonderful friend.

Day 1 we would like to rate it at 41/2 stars. The only negative comment we would make is that we spent too much time in the Kremlin's cathedrals and not enough in the Armory. We didn't get to the Diamond Fund at all as we ran out of time. Maybe we should have asked Dan to move on quicker, but this was our first tour and we were unsure how things work. Day 2 5 stars Dan did all that was asked. Overall, Dan was friendly and very helpful with advice on what to do on our free day

Daniel was a great guide, friendly but not too familiar, punctual, knowledgable, willing to answer our questions about Russian (and Soviet) life and patient with our 5 year old son who was not well. The tour is great vlaue for money, there was no way we could have found all those metro stops on our own and being in a small private group was an asset. The bunker was fun.

Daniel is a special guide - as special as the sights of the City! He was waiting for us at arrivals with a big smile, filled with knowledge that was continuously shared, but not boring or dry. We experienced the City, Red square, Kremlin, Underground and it's amazing history very personally - even a lunch at GUM! After safely seeing us to our hotel, also assisting us with our luggage, Daniel stayed with us until the next afternoon and seated us in the Sapsan. BIG thanks from South Africa - it was great!

Please note that the bunker part of the tour is made by the company that explores the bunker. It's very expensive and I'm not sure whether it was worthwhile. Our guide there reminded me Penelope Pitstop and sighined every time she spoke. Anyway, Daniel is a very good guide and it's just a matter of what tour you choose.

Daniel did a great job! He effectively planned and executed a tour, over a period of three days, that gave us an excellent overview of Moscow. He also was of great assistance during the time we were on our own by doing such things as explaining how to get to various places, helping us buy a Metro card, and arranging for a taxi to the airport at 1/2 the cost of what the hotel would have charged. Also, his insights and sense of humor helped us gain an understanding of Russia today.

Daniel was very informative and competent. I have no problems with the benefits of the tour. My only reservation is the high cost of the tour. But this comment applies to everything (except the metro) in Moscow. Prices in a 2008 Frommer's tourbook were off by more than 100%, and sometimes up to 250%. In a way I was kind of glad I didn't know about the actual prices, since I might not have gone.

Daniel made us feel we were touring with a friend. His knowledge of history, art, religion and local events is terrific. No matter what statue or building I pointed at, he knew the story about it. It was an 8 hour day, and his concern for our stamina was much appreciated. He showed us all the important spots, suggested things we could see on our own over the next days, and also took us to unexpected places I'm sure most travelers never see.

Therefore, we did not do the "big walking tour" or the bike tour we originally planned. Rather, Dan arranged for more appropriate tours to the monastery of St. Sergius Lavra, minivan tour of Moscow, tour of the Kremlin Armory, and a smaller walking tour when the air finally improved on our last day.

Although I have been to Moscow several times over the last 30 yrs, this time Daniel helped me see some very interesting sites. We started with Donskoy Monastery and he showed me all the interesting tombs and pointed out the history behind each. Then we went on an tour of Art Nouveau houses not in any guide book. This showed me an entirely different side of Moscow and her history. Daniel's own enthusiasm made the whole experience that much more enjoyable.

The requests I had for my tour were a little out of the ordinary. Therefor they asked for enthusiastic, creative and productive tour guiding skills and some initiative. Daniel delivered and more than that. Not only did he surprise me with some fun extras, his wide cultural knowledge provided me with some interesting and in depth cultural education. I highly recommend Daniel!

Daniel has been a fantastic guide full of local knowledge and Russian history making the day interesting and a trip to remember. He was very considerate to our 7 year old daughter making sure she was included and not getting too tired. Thank you for a lovely day that we will remember for a long time!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: It is too strong Kim, I’m just a humble Moscow sherpa, thank you though.

Hi Daniel - I'm finally back in California where its a balmy 57 degrees! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the tour of Moscow. I found it incredibly fascinating and your depth of knowledge about the history of Russia was extraordinary. Thanks also for the stop at the market so I could get some candies for my daughter's class. I just wanted to let you know that it was really an educational and enjoyable day! I hope to see you in Moscow again someday.

We had other private tour guides in both Moscow & St Petersburg. By far, Daniel is the most professional and knowledgeable. He presented and conducted himself like a true pro. I will definitely refer him to people I know who will be visiting Moscow in the future. Thank you.

Daniel was excellent. He knew just where to go and took us to places that tourists do not usually go to. He met us the day following our tour by chance. We were lost at a Metro station and he took the time to show us how to use the Metro and where we could go on our own to see a special site. If we are in Moscow again we will insist on using him. He was great!

Excellent, 8 hours is not enough for capturing all Moscow highlight. The Moscow traffic was jam and very crowded especially during the office hours. The Russian cuisine restaurant is also excellent.
