| I don't know how things could have been better. Daniel was happy to do what I preferred doing in the time I had, and offering several good options. Helpful and knowledgeable. A real plus for ToursByLocals. |

| 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 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. If you're a little nervous about going to Moscow, just book Daniel as your tour guide and you'll have nothing to worry about so you can just enjoy beautiful Moscow. |

| 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 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. |

| I couldn't have been more delighted than I was with Daniels superb guiding, knowledge, patience and friendliness. It was obvious that Moscow and it's history, art and culture are some of Daniel's true passions. Finding a guide as personable and at the same time with such a keen intellect was a stroke of good luck. I wholeheartedly recommend choosing him as your tour guide the next time you are in Moscow. There are no words for just how beautiful a city it is!

| Daniel was a most courteous, well informed and thoughtful guide. He always answered emails quickly and he cared for our well being and made sure that we were comfortable. We had a wonderful day seeing as much of Moscow as was possible in such a short time. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a tour here. |

| Daniel P. was a delight ... very knowledgable and included some unique tour sites that were of local/cultural interest. He was flexible in the initerary as we discovered the Kremlin was closed the date of my tour and easily filled my time with highlight sites. I happily recommended him to my hosts should they need to arrange tours for others. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
