We had a great time with Arthur - our guide & driver during our 4 days stay in Moscow in September. We understood more of Russian history & culture through Arthur. He was a great guide & has been very patient with us when we ladies were enjoying our shopping. We also thanked him for the beautiful pictures he took for us especially the night scene around Moscow. We highly recommend Arthur to be your guide & driver.
We hope to see Arthur again in one of the winters in Moscow. Take care Arthur !!
