Greg WhiteI was only in Moscow for about 11 hours. Arthur met me at the airport and had my time planned to the minute. We first went to Red Square to see the changing of the guard which only occurs on Saturdays. From that we toured Red Square. Arthur's in depth knolwedge of Russian history is outstanding. He constently provided facts regarding Russian history and culture which increased the experience in Moscow tremedously. Arthur's professionalism, knowledge, personalism, and command of the English language is amazing. Moscow was a highlight of my trip due mostly to Arhtur. If (when) I return to Russia and Moscow Arthur will be first person I contact while planning my trip. Thanks Arthur for my great experience in Moscow!!
