Mike SwanIn May 2009, my girlfriend and I spent 5 nights in Moscow, and were very fortunate to have Arthur as our guide for 2 of those days. Arthur is so friendly and warm, it was as if we were being shown Moscow by a relative, although much more knowledgeable and a better photographer than any relative of mine. His insights, knowledge of Moscow and its history, and his command of English make him the perfect guide. And the pictures he took for us made the trip even more special. If you want a memorable visit to Moscow, you must experience it with Arthur. I can't recommend him enough.
